In the past year, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has opened up in a big way — and not just in terms of introducing new heroes and new stories. The past year has seen the idea of the multiverse take center stage in the MCU with the concept of other realities being introduced in WandaVisionvariables that are presented in lokicomplete breach of worlds in Spider-Man: There is no room for homeAnd now the adventure of hopping between the multiverse Doctor Strange in a multiverse of madness. In fact, according to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, loki The multiverse has already set up for both of them There is no place for home And The multiverse of madness Which makes the entire arc very interconnected. How, exactly, does this work? Let’s break it down.
Warning: because there will be discussion about the multiverse as it relates to it Doctor Strange in a multiverse of madnessThere will be major spoilers for the movie after this point. If you don’t want to know, don’t read beyond this point.
at The multiverse of madness, it’s revealed that there are seemingly infinite different facts out there – we even take a look at some weird facts when America Chávez (Zuchitel Gomez) and Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) get stuck. It is also revealed that traveling between facts is impossible for everyone except America, which is why she is being chased. Someone – we learned later is Wanda Maximov (Elizabeth Olsen) – wants to take this power for himself. We also learn that dreams are not just dreams but snippets of life into other realities.
But how did we get to this version of the multiverse? As mentioned above we got a taste in it WandaVision When viewers see, in a post-credits scene from that series, that Wanda is studying Darkhold when she hears her children cry for help apparently from another reality but really not much in terms of the multiverse. This moment largely leads to the emergence of Wanda – and her evil transformation Dr. Gharib 2. The ‘beginnings’ of the multiverse arc in the MCU are in fact loki. The majority of the series focuses on the idea of a sacred timeline that feels less like the multiverse than what we end up in Dr. Gharib 2, at least in the beginning. It’s in the Season 1 finale where things really start to come together. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) arrive at the castle at the end of time and meet He Who Remains (Jonathan Majors), the creator of the Time Contrast Authority (TVA). He reveals that many variants of himself discovered alternate universes and communicated with each other in the 331st century. This led to some of them attempting to conquer other universes and led to a multiverse war which was only stopped when the Alioth being harnessed, allowing He Who Remains to isolate the table temporal – or reality – and then create a TVA to prevent branches from moving too far. From him, which would ignite new facts and could lead to another multiverse war. It gives Loki and Sylvie the choice to take charge of him and keep things together or kill him and end the singular timeline/reality. Sylvie brings Loki back to TVA headquarters, kills the He Who Remains, and unleashes multiple schedules.
This act paves the way for two things: the myriad worlds in Doctor Strange in a multiverse of madness. From what Feige said at the premiere of Doctor Strange in a multiverse of madnessit seems like all those branching timelines in TVA is just one representation of the multiverse and that’s because He Who Remains wasn’t around to keep things in control, that’s why the Strange spell went wrong Spider-Man: There is no room for home.
“You know, there’s always a way to go crazy even in the multiverse and for Marvel.com fans knowing that Loki and Sylvie did something at the end of that series that allowed that kind of all of this to be possible,” said Feige. “Whoever remains is gone, and this allowed a false spell to be inserted. Spider-Man: There is no room for homeWhich leads to the frenzy of the entire multiverse.”
So, there you are. long ago loki There was a multiverse but he who remains ended the multiverse war and kept everything at bay by using his TVA to maintain one major world/timeline – the sacred timeline. Loki and Sylvie kind of threw a wrench into that in their pursuit of the truth and when Sylvie killed “He Who Stays”, all hell exploded, unleashing the multiverse again, thus paving the way for Dr. Gharib 2 And as a bonus, because no one is in control of things anymore, this There is no place for home The spell was allowed to skew to give Strange – and viewers – their first taste of just how massive reality is. Now, whether that makes sense… well. This is an idea for a different day.
