Hey everyone, I'm The Canadian Lad and today I watched the trailer of Doctor Strange in
the Multiverse of Madness at 0.25x speed and found some amazing hidden details.
Now, this trailer was actually shown after the credits in Spider-Man: No Way Home but
was only officially released on YouTube last week.
So I watched it in slow-motion and found some details that you won't find anywhere else.
But first, I’d like to thank Established Titles for sponsoring another video!

Anyway, the trailer begins with Wong saying..
-CUT SCENE- Now this audio is from the trailer of Spider-Man
No Way Home which surprisingly wasn't in the movie.
-CUT SCENE- In No Way Home, Wong actually doesn't stop
Strange from casting any spell, he simply says "Just leave me out of this".
Because Wong himself also got convinced that Peter deserves a better life and for that
if Strange has to cast a forgetting spell, he should do it.
So Marvel actually changed it in No Way Home and I have a pretty strong feeling they had
to change it because of Multiverse of Madness.
Because had Wong not allowed Strange to cast this spell, all the blame for cracking up
the multiverse would lie only on Strange's shoulder, as opposed to now it's on both of
them.
So in Multiverse of Madness, Wong and Strange are now both at fault, maybe one more so than
the other but both have to team up to fix it.
Moving on..
-CUT SCENE- We see candles blow out at Kamar-Taj and if
you notice, we can also see a little bit of snow, so it immediately indicates the movie
is taking place right after No Way Home.
And if you notice, the candles actually don't blow out at the same time, so it's definitely
not CGI.
Because with Marvel's reputation, they kind of CGI almost everything.
So right off the bat we can assume the film's gonna be different as Sam Raimi has directed
it and probably used a lot more real life props than just simple CGI.
We then see Strange's broken watch from his first movie, which really played an important
role in that film.
Now, there was an easter egg in the first film where this broken watch stopped at a
little over 5:15 on February 2nd.
This was a reference to Bill Murray's Groundhog Day, where he wakes up on the same day again
and again just like Strange died again and again fighting Dormammu at the end of the
first film.
But notice in the trailer, this hand of the watch is no longer set in February, instead
it's now in November.
And even the timings are different.
So it goes to show that even though Strange didn't fix the case of the watch but he did
fix the hands and the hour marker.
And I like how the focus of the camera shifts from the watch to Strange's reflection.
Indicating that the first movie was about time but Multiverse of Madness is gonna be
around Strange.
This is one of the main reasons why I love Sam Raimi, he can tell a story with the way
he uses the camera.
We then see the fabric of reality breaking apart.
This looks really similar to what we've seen in What If Episode 4, where Evil Strange altered
an absolute point and the fabric of reality started melting apart.
Now by the looks of Strange, even he looks worried and scared of what's happening.
Notice, when the camera pens right and starts to fade out, we can see this number "814"
on a building.
Now, this number could be a reference to the character Yao aka the Ancient One from the
comics who lives on Earth 814.
I understand I could be reaching here but we also have to take into account that this
is probably a set Marvel built, so random numbers may not be that random!
Moving on...
-CUT SCENE- So we can hear Strange saying "It was the
only way" He of course said something similar to Tony
Stark in Infinity War after sacrificing half the universe.
-CUT SCENE- We then see the Sanctum getting flooded with
Sea water because of not one but two broken walls.
Now we learned in Spider-Man: No Way Home that the Sanctum walls are thousands of years
old and that the Sanctum is built at the intersection of cosmic energy currents..
So it kinda makes sense that nature is behaving a bit weird inside the Sanctum given the fact
that it's right at the intersection.
But as we know walls are thousands of years old, so something really devastating has to
happen in order for these walls to break open like this.
Now, notice this version of the Sanctum has these two statutes on both sides of the stairs.
The sanctum we see in our universe or very recently in No Way Home, there was no statute
like this.
So it is possible that this Sanctum is an alternate version of the one we have.
It could belong to Supreme Strange.
Cut to the next shot where Doctor Strange slowly looks upwards.
But notice this symbol on Strange's suit, which is missing in No Way Home and in all
other movies that he appeared in.
This is a comic accurate symbol from classic Doctor Strange comics.
Although this symbol is actually white in the comics, I'm glad they decided to add this
touch to Strange's outfit.
And I'll have you know, this isn't the first time Marvel decided to include this symbol
on his suit.
In What If Episode 4, Strange Supreme had this symbol on his suit as well.
Then we see this shot of Strange hovering his hand by the window at the Sanctum.
Keep it in mind, I'll talk about it at the end.
Now we hear Strange say that "I didn't mean for any of this to happen".
Strange said the exact same line in What If Episode 4.
-CUT SCENE- But I think all of these dialogues are there
to misdirect us.
I'll explain it in a bit.
-CUT SCENE- We then see Wanda channeling her chaos magic.
But notice behind her, we can see a rectangular shaped orange door which seems awful lot like
the Time Doors we've seen in Loki.
Now, of course this is just a theory but this orange glow behind Wanda which also happens
to be in a rectangular shape, might indicate that Wanda will travel the multiverse through
some of the Time Doors.
The Time Variance Authority aka The TVA, used it all the time in Loki.
You gotta have TemPad, turn on the door and just walk through it.
And that may be it behind Wanda here.
We then see Christine Palmer walking down the aisle in her wedding, while Stephen watches
from the Pews.
We can also see Dr. Nick West just beside Stephen who we've seen previously in the first
film.
But in this trailer he looks a bit old with a lot of gray hair and beard.
Which might indicate that Dr Nick wasn't blipped, so he grew 5 years older than Stephen.
What's interesting here is that even though Stephen's full focus is on Christine, but
Christine isn't even looking at him.
So I wonder if this is a nightmare sequence where you'd see the love of your life getting
married to someone else!
I mean, why would Christine invite her ex to her own wedding?
That doesn't sit well with me.
Or maybe Christine survived The Blip and is now in a long-term relationship with someone
else.
Then we get our first look at America Chavez, who will be played by Xochitl Gomez, we can
see her signature star from the Marvel comics on her jean jacket.
The star represents her ability to create star-shaped portals that allow her to travel
across the multiverse.
And I think this is why Wanda might be the villain in this movie as she would want to
possess the powers of America Chavez which would allow her to travel to another universe
and get her children back!
In the comics, America Chavez also works with the Young Avengers, who consist of Billy and
Tommy, Kate Bishop, Eli Bradley, Cassie Lang and many more who we've seen already in this
phase of the MCU.
And as I said, America Chavez can open portals across the multiverse shaped like a Star,
In the very next shot we can see one of her star-shaped portals.
In the next scene we can see Wong with both of his hands tied up.
But notice if you look closely, he's tied up with some sort of magical energy.
The energy here is either red or orange, whatever it is that Marvel decides, I think it is Scarlet
Witch using chaos magic to hold Wong hostage.
So this shot could be from a very important part of the film, considering Wong is now
the Sorcerer Supreme and not Stephen as we've learned in No Way Home.
Now if you're wondering why would Wanda go after Wong and Stephen, well, both of them
may stand on her way to America Chavez.
Moving on..
-CUT SCENE- We then see the Marvel logo incorporating
an older Marvel logo from Phase 2 and another from the X-Men Universe.
Now, why would they suddenly use an X-Men intro in Multiverse of Madness?
Well, because multiple leaks and concept art revealed that Professor Xavier is going to
make his MCU debut in this film as the leader of the Illuminati.
And apparently Stephen Strange will be arrested by Ultron Bots and brought before Professor
X in handcuffs.
This concept art was shared by MyTimeToShine on Twitter and after seeing the trailer where
we can actually see Strange's hands being locked using some mystical device,
chances are this concept art is indeed true and Professor X will be in the movie.
Professor X's appearance will plant the seed for the X-Men in the MCU and could imply that
the group has existed in secret for years, with Doctor Strange and a few others being
the only ones who knew about them.
Now, Clea will also be a part of the film as Professor X's advisor, who will also be
played by Rachel McAdams.
So chances are she won't have much of a role as Christine Palmer but as Clea, her role
could be very significant.
And that's why Marvel used a certain X-Men intro in their logo.
Now, the way Marvel used a broken glass effect on the logo, again foreshadows what's to come
in this movie.
It's a metaphor throughout the trailer indicating the reality is breaking apart.
We then see Stephen and Wanda having a conversation where Strange asks for help.
Now judging by the expression of Stephen, even he looks surprised seeing Wanda here.
So something tells me that after his conversation with Wanda here, he will realize that she
is not what she seems to be and a massive fight may take place over here.
-CUT SCENE- We then see Doctor Strange, America Chavez
and Christine Palmer or Clea standing near the hatch of a ship.
And when it opens we see another dimension on the other side where gravity works differently
from our universe.
Now notice with all these broken columns flying across randomly, these 3 particular columns
actually make up the letter "M".
A very clear reference to the "House of M" comics, which this movie is heavily based
on.
And the use of this hatch could also be a subtle reference to X-Men but please don't
abuse me on this, this one is just a theory!
We then see Mordo with his new look and he's clearly at the Sanctum Sanctorum.
But him looking so different and taking into account the premise of this movie, this could
be a variant of Mordo.
And him wearing such a fancy outfit might indicate that in his universe, he holds a
much higher position than our Mordo.
We then see this cloud taking over the Kamar-Taj but notice the outfit of Wong.
He's wearing the same suit as he did in this shot where he was tied and hanged up.
So my theory is whoever is causing this cloud to take over Kamar-Taj is also the one blowing
it all up and then later torturing Wong.
And it's very likely that it will be Scarlet Witch.
Cut to the next shot where Scarlet Witch can be seen floating on the air with her fingertips
turning black.
This is probably because she absorbed all of Agatha Harkness' power in WandaVision whose
hands also turned black when she used dark magic.
Notice Scarlet Witch has also gone through some costume changes herself.
She no longer dons a sleeveless suit, it's fully covered now.
But notice this new part of the sleeves that she has now, looks a bit darker from elbow
up.
Implying the new powers and knowledge that she gained are incredibly evil.
Moving on..
-CUT SCENE- Then we see the scene which I talked about
already where Strange has his hands locked with some mystical device while fighting Mordo,
potentially a variant of Mordo.
Notice there's a slight green light emitting from the handcuffs.
This may be a button to unlock or lock the handcuffs.
Then we see this massive explosion at Kamar-Taj which I've already predicted could be Wanda's
doing.
Now, if you ask me why would Wanda go so mad that she not only goes after Wong and Strange
but also all the sorcerers there?
Well, I think Strange is holding something or someone here at Kamar-Taj and Wanda is
after it.
And that's why she has gone total rogue in pursuit.
Now notice in this same shot, we can briefly see this horned character who is most likely
Rintrah making his debut in the MCU.
Rintrah in the comics is a magical green minotaur from another dimension who was sent by his
mentor to learn from Doctor Strange.
We then see Stephen in a Dark version of the Sanctum casting some sort of a spell.
Notice in this scene, this window of the Sanctum is broken.
We did see this intact earlier in the trailer but now it's broken.
Indicating a fight may take place between the two Stranges inside this alternate version
of the Sanctum.
Now notice, while Doctor Strange is performing magic, surrounding him are blown out candles.
And where have we seen a similar sort of set up?
That's right, when Scarlet Witch was conjuring her chaos magic, she had candles lit up all
around her as well.
So maybe Scarlet Witch was here performing magic and later on, Strange got here re-creating
her spell, trying to figure out what Scarlet Witch must have done.
That's why the candles surrounding Strange are blown out and that's why his magic looks
similar to what Wanda had done previously.
I almost forgot to mention, if you slow it down and zoom in, you can quite clearly see
that Strange is harnessing the Darkhold to figure out what Wanda is after.
We then see Strange unleashing some beasts from within him, which we've already seen
in What If Episode 4 where Strange Supreme absorbed a lot of inter-dimensional beings
and then later unleashed it.
Now Strange Supreme had to pay a hefty price for absorbing all these beasts in What If.
And now the fact that our Strange also possesses such a level of power within him, he must
have done something wrong in the past as well.
Umm, I mean past mistakes that we are yet to know in the movie.
Which is why he possesses such beasts within him in the first place.
And I'm guessing to sustain such powerful beasts inside you, you'd have to harness a
lot of dark magic.
I like how for a split second it makes him look really evil like in What If.
Cut to Gargantos, not Shuma-Gorath throwing a bus at Strange and Chavez.
Notice the attention to detail here, we can even see the reflection of the bus on Gargantos'
eyes.
I love attention to details like this!
Strange then conjures a massive blade, turns it around and uses it to cut the bus in half.
But I found something important here.
Notice as soon as America Chavez noticed that Strange is conjuring a blade, she immediately
started moving and took cover behind Stephen.
She knew what Strange was gonna do just by looking at the weapon.
This shows how good she is already and with Strange and Wong as her mentor, she might
as well become one of the best.
Now the final scene: -CUT SCENE-
In this final scene, we see Evil Strange or Strange Supreme or Defender Strange based
on which reports you wanna believe until the movie releases.
Now remember I told you to keep this scene in mind?
Notice in both shots, Strange's hair looks very similar.
And in both places, he is hiding his left hand for some reason.
So it's safe to assume the one moving his hands here is not our Doctor Strange.
Now notice in the previous shot, both versions of Strange just casually walk inside this
alternate version of Sanctum.
So my theory is Evil Strange is nothing but a misdirect and the main antagonist of this
film is Scarlet Witch aka Wanda.
And that's it, this would be my breakdown of Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness Trailer
in 0.25x speed.
I hope I managed to show you a few new details that you haven't seen before.
