A Marvel movie only ends when the after credits are out, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is no exception. Doctor Strange 2 after credit has revealed some interesting information to the audience. What is that? A detailed explanation will be given shortly. This post will spoil the movie’s content so please consider before reading.
The Content of Doctor Strange 2 After Credit
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has two after credits. The first scene reveals plots from later Marvel movies and introduces a new character. It’s quite important.
However, the second one is just a pointless humorous scene. In other words, most people will find this scene ridiculous. Some people are even annoyed that they wasted a few minutes of their life just watching it. Therefore, this article will only explain the important details in the first after credit scene of the movie.
The scene begins with Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) walking down the street on an ordinary day. Unfortunately, his little joy was interrupted by the arrival of an unexpected guest. Actress Charlize Theron’s character appeared and opened a space gate.
She told Strange that he had caused an intrusion. Therefore, he has to fix it unless he’s afraid. Of course, Doctor Strange showed no fear. He was ready to begin his new quest immediately by opening his third eye. It is a result of his use of the Darkhold in the last part of the film.
Doctor Strange 2 After Credit Explanation
1. Who is the white-haired woman?
This after credit doesn’t reveal “who is character Charlize Theron plays”. However, it’s not hard at all for Marvel fans to find out. Theron’s styling includes a purple suit and white hair. So, she must just be Clea – a character from Marvel Comics.
Clea first appeared in Strange Tales #126. She is the daughter of Prince Orini, the heir of Dark Dimension. Strange and Clea first met when he entered the Dark Dimension to fight Dormammu. (It tried to conquer Earth in Doctor Strange 1)
In the comics, Clea aided Strange in his battle. Furthermore, the two of them also developed feelings. After Umar took control of the Dark Dimension, she moved to the Earth with Strange.
On Earth, she lost her witchcraft powers. Therefore, she enrolled at the Sanctum Sanctorum to get them back. When Strange became the Sorceress Supreme, she also became his official disciple. Then, Clea returns to the Dark Dimension to overthrow Umar.
She won and took over the Dark Dimension. During her reign, Clea and Strange married in the Dark Dimension. However, they couldn’t really be together because Strange needs to be on Earth. In addition, Clea faces the constant threat of Dormammu in the Dark Dimension.
What role does Clea have in the MCU?
That’s what happened in Marvel Comics. But does this story take place in the MCU? We still don’t know.
In Doctor Strange 2 after the credits, Clea told about an invasion to deal with. This was mentioned in the scene where Strange meets the Illuminati. They explain that ‘an invasion’ occurs when two universes in the multiverse collide.
Fortunately, one of Clea’s strengths is the ability to teleport between locations and dimensions. So, we might see an adventure across the universe in Doctor Strange 3. Moreover, the lonely Strange might have another romantic relationship after Christine Palmer is married.
2. The Third Eye of Doctor Strange
In the mid-after credit, Doctor Strange revealed a third eye on his forehead. It appeared after he used Darkhold. So, does that mean Doctor Strange is turning evil? Will he become Sinister Strange?
We can’t confirm that at this time. However, audiences will definitely see a stronger version of Stephen Strange in the next Marvel movies.
In addition, the third eye evokes the Eye of Agamotto, the magical pendant that Strange wears around his neck. It used to contain the Time Stone in the MCU. The Eye of Agamotto gives Strange a sort of sixth sense in the comics. In other words, it allows him to see the true nature of everything. When he uses this ability, a third eye will appear on his forehead.
