Aside from liking and loving the film, the only true and worthwhile bonus feature is the Audio Commentary Track featuring Sam Raimi, Michael Waldron, and Richie Palmer. If commentary tracks are your thing, then purchasing Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on digital is the best way to go. The Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness home media release comes with three featurettes, three deleted scenes, a blooper reel, and a commentary track with Sam Raimi, Micahel Waldron, and Richie Palmer. The upsetting part is that aside from the commentary track, the rest of the features can easily be found online. The commentary track is a must for MCU film nerds, or anyone looking for creative inspiration. However, if you’re the type to watch the bonus features of home media releases, then that’s another story. Dr. Strange and America Chavez’s universe-hopping adventure to escape the Scarlet Witch is now streaming on Disney+! When it is so easily accessible to watch the film, what is the best way to watch it? Chances are, if you’re a Marvel fan, you already have Disney+ because of the MCU shows.

A sly allusion to X-men '97 has surfaced in the closed captions of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Indeed, a rendition of the X-Men: The Animated Series theme is heard when Charles appears on-screen, but according to the official closed captions provided by Disney+, it's meant as a bit of an Easter egg. It is on Earth-838 that Strange and Chavez are apprehended by the Illuminati, a "meeting-of-the-minds" style team of superheroes who convene to make decisions that shape the fate of their world. It's called X-Men '97 and it actually has a connection to Doctor Strange 2.

Daniel Craig almost appeared in Doctor Strange 2 and it's easy to see why fans are taking about it. Major spoilers for Doctor Strange 2 ahead.

That tweet contained a GIF of Craig, implying that he was the actor. However, it turns out that we almost had one more, as it was recently revealed that James Bond star Daniel Craig almost appeared in the film too. Would you have liked to see Daniel Craig play a version of Mr. Fantastic or Balder the Brave in the MCU? Let us know in the comments below! Major spoilers for Doctor Strange 2 ahead. In response to the news that Daniel Craig almost made a cameo appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, digital artist BossLogic took to social media to share an incredible image, imagining what Daniel Craig could have looked like as Reed Richards, a.k.a. Mr. Fantastic. And just to make it all the more of a “What If…?” scenario, digital artist Boss Logic has given us an idea of what he could have looked like.

A breakdown of every character that was cut from Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

For instance, eliminating the additional Variant of Wong and Christine likely led to a tighter film and one that focused more on Strange, Wanda, and America Chavez. The fact that the film went in a different direction is actually a good thing. While Derickson never got the chance to actually shoot his Doctor Strange sequel, the concept of dreams did play a role in Raimi's take on the film. However, a deleted Doctor Strange 2 scene confirmed that her heel turn was supposed to be conveyed even earlier. It's unclear why Wasp didn't make it past the first draft, but it could have been due to scheduling issues with getting Lilly in for filming. Still, there is evidence to suggest that a Loki cameo had been in the works. Writer Michael Waldron revealed on the film's commentary track that Hope Van Dyne's Wasp was originally part of the Illuminati roster. Evangeline Lilly's character was also supposed to fight Wanda too, coming at the Scarlet Witch in full, pint-sized, force. “It did change a little bit from what I was originally told, [which was] that it would be three different versions, and we wound up with two different versions in the end. Surprisingly, this member of Earth-838's secret society wasn't just considered in concept art or first drafts of the script. In addition to Rachel McAdam's Christine Palmer, Benedict Wong's Wong, and Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez, the former Sorcerer Supreme also shared the Doctor Strange 2 spotlight with Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff, fresh off of her own solo project, WandaVision. In addition to playing Earth-616's version of Strange's love interest who marries someone else, McAdams also played a Variant of Christine on Earth-838.

The character was a part of the film in the earlier drafts and could have been linked to the Illuminati in the crucial sequence of the film.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness successfully appeased the fans with those cameos; however, the response to it has been divisive as fans expected to see a lot more of them. Waldron: I was just trying to get through the first draft of the script desperately in August of 2020. Didn't really have a second half of the second act and had no idea where the hell I was going. People were thrilled to see the Illuminati assemble on-screen in Multiverse of Madness. But their murder came as a shock to them just ten minutes later. If Wasp had made it in the film, it would have been her who would have made the cut for the worst demise, wherein Wanda would have humiliated Wasp's most significant powers. I think I watched Aliens and was just thinking about the way those Marines get massacred, and, yeah, I was glad it worked.

This means Multiverse of Madness includes a few gory moments where a villainous Wanda aka Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) gets rid of almost everyone in her ...

In the film's first draft, a version of Wasp (Evangeline Lilly) was supposed to be among Wanda's victims. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is streaming now on Disney+. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness spoilers follow.

Led by director Sam Raimi, he's joined by writer Michael Waldron and producer Richie Palmer as the three break down the movie, giving insight to a lot of ...

At one point, Waldron had a different reveal for the ending of the movie. And there's a funny story where Charlie actually has the prop of the fork from Army of Darkness that he brought to set that day… They changed it around for a few reasons, one of which was so the story of Strange vs. The scene didn't build tension or raise the stakes, so it was cut. It's the fork that the tiny Ash's use on real Ash's butt. This character is essentially the personification of law--more importantly, multiversal law. That was Raimi's idea as he said, "Get me a leg on a broom!" The movie's writer, Michael Waldron played the best man in the wedding scene, but most of his scenes were cut, according to him on commentary. "Yeah, we like update with images from some of the more recent Disney+ series and movies and make sure that it's always up-to-date with some of the coolest images from our movies," explained producer Richie Palmer. "This one, we did something special. Movies Anywhere hooked us up with a code of the movie for this coverage. However, it also arrived on various digital retailers available for purchase, and with purchase, you actually get access to the audio commentary for the movie. I think it was Sam [Raimi] and Bob Murawski, our editor, and Kevin [Feige] came together and said, 'You know, we should do something special for Doctor Strange and put in more images of Doctor Strange and Wanda in there than we've ever seen before.
