A recent post on social media from artist Karla Ortiz showcases what an earlier design concept for Doctor Strange’s variant would have looked like in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Ortiz, who has worked as an artist on past Marvel Cinematic Universe films like Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Avengers: Endgame, took to Twitter to share work she did on a poster that was drawn early in the production stages of the sequel.
Check out the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness concept art below:
1/ So excited to share with all of you SOME of the work I did for #DoctorStrange in the Multiverse of Madness in the coming days!
The production was in its VERY early stages. @MeinerdingArt asked me to do a poster that could serve to build hype and potentially inform new looks. pic.twitter.com/CmL4pKyTfa— Karla Ortiz (@kortizart) May 13, 2022
3/ More closeups of other looks including an attempt at a “Master’s Costume” for him.
Being a part of this was an absolute joy! My one regret was not able to see the whole project through. In 2020 COVID paused production work. By the time it restarted, I was working elsewhere😩 pic.twitter.com/gBysYLZb0w— Karla Ortiz (@kortizart) May 13, 2022
In the poster — which showcases multiple versions of Doctor Strange — Ortiz notes that one of them served as an early inspiration for one of the costumes used in the film, a costume that fans see right at the beginning of the film when they are introduced to a different universe’s Doctor Strange.
