Ok so the mysterious figure in the Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness Trailer
has been a big talking point on the internet.
It's pretty much become the blue and gold dress of the comic book community and throughout
this video we're gonna be discussing whether you hear laurel or yanny.
I'm just kidding, I think we know who it is.
After enhanced screenshots have now hit the web we can see that the figure looks extremly
like Lashana Lynch aka Maria Rambeau.
During the time of filming the actress was coming hot off the heels of No Time To Die
and thus her hair would have also been roughly the length that we see in the split second
shot.
It was theorised that this might actually be Tom Cruise in a Superior Iron Man suit
but I think when you hold this image side by side with Lynch that they look pretty much
exactly the same.
Now this has been discussed on Twitter all week with some saying that the facial features
look slightly off and that they don't line up completely.
Whilst there are some minor inconsistencies I think that this is probably down to the
one we see actually being a CGI model.
When producing cgi heavy films, actors often get a full body scan so that their features
and frames can be replicated in a film.
They could do this practically but it would involve tonnes of wire work training on Lynch's
behalf and they'd also have to get in a team to help propel her in the air.
Even with all that we wouldn't get the smooth flying motion that we see in the trailer and
thus I think that this is simply a cgi model.
The features are slightly off because that's just what tends to happen and when a digital
model is used and you only have to look at older movies to see that's the case.
Look at the bloody scorpion king.
Look at him.
Sure they've gotten better since then but yeah I still don't think it's an exact science
and this looks way more like Lashanna Lynch than it does Tom Cruise.
So no I don't think it's Iron Man and I even saw a comment saying it might be this and
I just...I just can't anymore.
I think what likely happened in this dimension is that Maria took the flight at Project Pegasus
instead of Carol.
Being attacked by the Kree could've led to her shooting the tesseract and then being
blasted with it's blue light which the character also has eminating from her.
Captain Marvel also ages at slower rate and thus she could end up still being alive in
a time when Mordo is the same age as he is in the MCU timeline.
So I think that sort of settles it I think, the dress is blue, you only hear yanny and
we're out here righting the wrongs of the internet.
Huge shoutouts to Update007 on twitter for posting this image and I think that it's massively
helped to clear things up.
But what about the rest of the Illuminati?
Well that's what we're gonna be breaking down in this video and if you're enjoying it so
far we'd massively appreciate the thumbs up.
Also make sure you subscribe for videos like this every day.
With that out the way, huge thank you for clicking this, now let's get into the rest
of the video.
Ok so the biggest part of the trailer has Patrick Stewarts voice coming in at the mid
point of the teaser.
-
Because of this Professor X was trending all week and we now know that at least a variant
of him will be featuring in the film.
This won't be the one from the Fox timeline as he was killed during Logan but as we know
from Loki and No Way Home, you can have similar characters out there on alternate Earths.
When we see the shot from Strange's back you might also notice that there are several members
sitting in chairs with there being one absent in the middle.
This is because Professor X uses a wheelchair and therefore I think that this pretty much
confirms it is Xavier but beyond that that he's also the leader of the council.
Incase you don't know The Illuminati were introduced in the comics in the build up to
Civil War.
Made up of Professor X, Iron Man, Namor, Black Bolt, Reed Richards, Black Panther and Doctor
Strange they controlled worldly events from behind the scenes.
Operating in the shadows they tried to steer humanity on a certain path but over time they
ended up going their separate ways when the group clashed over several things.
So we know at least one member is Professor X but what about the rest.
Well as we go into the room we can see a character walking along the top.
If we pause the video and zoom in on them you can see that this is what appears to be
Mordo.
In the first trailer you might remember the shot in which he was fighting Strange and
going back to that it's clearly in this room.
Stephen has the Handcuffs around his wrists that get placed onto them in this moment and
therefore I think that Mordo is on the council.
What may have happened in this reality is that Defender Strange was killed and this
is why they have a statue to commemorate him.
This would also explain the zombie one that appeared in the tv spot and on the back of
his head we can catch a ponytail.
We know that Defender Strange would have one too and therefore it all kinda ties together
that he's the bad one.
In his death the council would've had a need for a Wizard and thus Mordo might have stepped
in to fill his place.
We know from the toy leaks that this version will be called Master Mordo and thus it makes
sense that he would've stepped into his place.
So that's three members down.
Now we can catch someone with Long Hair and though it's been theorised that this could
be a version of Thor I actually think that it's Captain Carter.
The poster that was released alongside the trailer actually features her shield in the
shattered glass and therefore I think it's a safe assumption to make that she will feature
in the film at some point.
Potentially the council is made up of people that look over the multiverse and protect
it and therefore she could be the version that we met in What If.
She's already had a multiverse spanning battle and therefore I think getting her to protect
the entire thing would make a lot of sense.
Now there is one more figure that remains.
In total there are seven chairs but we only have enough people on screen in the teaser
to guess five of them.
That's also going off the potential that Maria Rambeau is a member too so there may just
be four figures that we can guess at.
The last one is the most mysterious of all and after zooming in, all that we can really
see is some emblems on their chest.
Computer enhance enhance, enhance to the power of 20.
So yeah very difficult to make out especially as Marvel insist on uploading trailers that
were exported on iMovie.
Now there are several possibilities over who this could be.
The most likely one being Reed Richards who was of course a member of the group in the
comics.
John Krasinski is rumoured to be playing him and with Marvel delivering on so much fan
service recently it makes sense that they'd go with the casting that everyone has been
crying out to for years.
Next we have potentially Black Panther who was also a member of the team.
Though Chadwick Boseman sadly passed away, we are dealing with the multiverse and they
might have brought across Michael B Jordan's Killmonger to play him like what we had in
what if.
I am leaning more toward Reed though and we might even get the version from the Fantastic
Four movie.
Potentially, I dunno, were they very good?
No...is the answer.
now moving on we still have several seats there and Marvel might have even removed those
in them through the use of CGI.
We know that the studio has a penchant for doing this sort of thing and just in the same
way that Andrew and Tobey weren't in the No Way Home trailers, this could be something
similar.
There are rumours that Tom Hiddleston will be appearing in the movie as Loki and potentially
we might get a version of him from across the multiverse who stepped into the shoes
of He Who Remains.
I'm not sure how that would work with the multiverse and whether there's just one who
sees over it all or if with it being broken open that there's now several.
That kinda takes us into the possibility that it could be Kang or one of his variants as
well.
We know from the end of Loki that there are several of them out there and for every evil
one there could be a good one to match.
This would set Kang up to be on the council and in the comics there was also a council
of Kangs who oversaw things in the Multiverse.
Either way there's still lots of spare seats and I'd love to hear your theories on who
you think is gonna be filling those chairs.
We are really at the point now where Marvel can do anything and they could bring across
old characters from other franchises or introduce new versions of them in this movie.
