The following post contains SPOILERS for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. If you complain about us spoiling the movie after this point, we’ll put a hex on you.
Every Marvel movie is nerdy, but Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness might take the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s dorkiness to a whole new level of geekitude. Thanks to a premise that sends Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) traveling through the multiverse, they are able to encounter all kinds of delightfully unexpected Marvel characters, and the movie is littered with all kinds of Easter eggs from comic books, previous Marvel movies, and even Multiverse of Madness director Sam Raimi’s long filmmaking career.
Below we’ve collected some of our favorite examples from throughout the movie. These aren’t the obvious ones like where Doctor Strange got his cloak or even who America Chavez is; we assume you’re all very smart fans and know all that stuff already. These are the little details you might have missed, the stuff in the backgrounds or from more obscure comics or movies lore. Check them all out below:
