Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness is out next week, and things are starting to leak. The movie has given up trying to hide its characters. We are very sure that it is giving us Patrick Stewart as Professor X and Hayley Atwell as Captain Carter.
But now? A major part of the film appears to have leaked, as things are going a level past that.
You have been warned. There are more to come.
I will not post the clip here because Disney is going to take a flamethrower to it in short order, but you can find it on social media. I don't believe there is any audio that shows Wanda facing off against the members of the Illuminati.
The main attraction in the clip is actor John Krasinksi as Reed Richards, but I don't think it's a good idea.
It's the closet thing we've seen to a fan cast come to life in the MCU, and everyone is freaked out about it. Krasinski's real-life wife and Quiet Place co-star Emily Blunt is rumored to be playing Sue Storm in the movie.
Is it possible this is not real? It is not impossible. This is an age of deep fakes, but I would be surprised if this was actually a fake, given the other characters seen here and what it would take to make a clip like this. I think we can tell by how fast the video goes off the internet. Or not.
There are a few questions about this clip.
I thought I would write this up as a warning in case you wanted to go in clean. Chances are you don't care if you made it down here. It's still cool, and I hope Krasinski gets his own movie.
