The Marvel Studios film opens in U.S. and U.K. theatres on May 6, 2022
The Multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little.
As seen during the end credits of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marvel Studios today have officially debuted the teaser trailer and poster for 2022’s highly-anticipated Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. What showcases is a thrilling ride through the Multiverse with Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), his trusted friend and Sorcerer Supreme Wong (Benedict Wong) and Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) aka The Scarlet Witch.
Along with the first teaser, Marvel put out this awesome looking first poster which features just the two main characters- Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch. Hinting that these two will certainly have multiple parts to play in the film as each Strange is specifically different from the other.

In the teaser above, Doctor Strange unfortunately doesn’t heed Wong’s warning as Strange begins to realise that they’ve tampered with the stability of spacetime. Mordo’s (Chiwetel Ejiofor) voice looms over the teaser as he threatens Strange “Your desecration of reality will not go unpunished”. Strange pleads as we see glimpses of an abandoned Sanctum Sanctorum, mayhem unleashed in the streets, Christine Palmer’s wedding to someone other than Strange, a bruised and battered Wong and to top it all off we see a first glimpse of Wanda’s glowing hands.

Strange visits Wanda in her new home as she prunes some branches off her Cherry-blossom trees. Following the events of WandaVision it seems Stephen will go to Wanda for help as he’ll certainly need all the help he can get. As Wanda declares that she’s made mistakes and that people got hurt regarding the Westview situation.
But he’s not there to discuss the events of WandaVision, he needs her help regarding the Multiverse.
However near the end of the teaser Mordo reminds Strange that “The greatest threat to our universe is you”, just as Strange comes face to face, well, with his face, who smugly states “Things just got out of hand.”

The Sam Raimi-directed sequel stars the returning cast and newcomer Xochitl Gomez who will portray America Chavez, a new fan favourite from the comics.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness arrives in theatres May 6, 2022.
According to TMZJonathan Majors has been arrested in NYC for reportedly assaulting a woman. A source told TMZ the woman tried sneaking a peek at his phone, after which, Majors got angry and grabbed her hand, slapped her and reportedly put his hands around her neck.
TMZ sources say, the alleged victim had visible injuries — “Including a laceration behind her ear, redness and marks to her face. She was taken to an area hospital and is in stable condition. As for Majors … he was cuffed and taken to jail on the spot, as police felt there was enough evidence for probable cause. We’re hearing he is currently out of custody.” — TMZ
A rep for Majors says: “He’s done nothing wrong. We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.”
Back in 2014, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opened into theaters with a mixed reception from critics and audiences and has been deemed as the least desirable of the Spidey movies. In the film, Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) must face off against another villain who has been given the name Electro. Moreover, our brave hero uncovers some bizarre mysteries surrounding his parents.
Many fans of the series view the film as an overcrowded mess, but I think it might be the most entertaining of all the Spidey films, until No Way Home arrived, and here are five reasons why that remains true.

First and foremost, Garfield is always a delight to have in the Spidey outfit. His charisma and witty banter is almost what makes the film truly great. I have always said that he was the best Spider-Man and this movie proves it with his ability to elevate any scene from dull slog to a comedic venture.
Spidey, in this particular movie, embodies the hero in the original comics with his incessant need to make a fast-talking quip to one of his enemies. There is nothing better than a comic-book character sticking true to his essence and spirit of its source material.
Electro

Despite what many people say about the villains, Jamie Foxx as the supercharged baddie Electro proves to be a formidable opponent for the web-head, with his omnipotent powers and overly-powered nature. More than that, Max Dillon is depicted as a quiet, shy loner who is invisible to other people. He is essentially a nobody, until he falls into a vat of electrically-charged eels and becomes the sinister villain Electro.
To better understand a villain, you must understand their plight and Electro’s plight is that of a rags-to-riches success story and the visual effects are certainly something to marvel at.
Action Sequences

This article wouldn’t be complete if I decided not to talk about the exhilarating action that embodied the film. Whether we see Spidey chasing down a truck with Oscorp’s product or a massive fight inside a grid that seems like a colossal feat for any Marvel film, the film can take a lot of pride in its action sequences.
One can also never forget the massive and iconic battle sequence between Electro and Spidey in Time Square that seems impossible to be made.
Green Goblin

While he remains a secondary villain, Dane Dehaan’s Green Goblin is still noteworthy. Dehaan portrays Harry Osborne who is left with his dead father Norman’s life work and stumbles upon a Goblin serum that enhances his speed, strength, and intelligence.
His little spat with Spider-Man is certainly befitting for the dark, moody tone of the film and entertaining for plenty of comic fans with zippy action and certified intensity. In the end, he is also responsible for the death of Spidey’s girlfriend Gwen Stacy.

Speaking of Gwen Stacy, this is the only Spidey film that features his love interest dying. As he battles the Green Goblin, Spidey attempts to hold on to Stacy, literally, by a thread in the clocktower. However, when the thread snaps, Spidey is able to snag her in mid-air but the whiplash of the fall snaps her neck, killing her.
What might be the saddest moment in any Spider-Man film, was brought to life in this extraordinary scene that silenced an entire generation of Spider-Man fans.
