Doctor Strange 2: this Marvel character is the real villain of the film according to this theory

The recent film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness raised an interesting point about Wanda: her power, her conviction… and the fact that she received powerful support from an entity; extraplanar. This is what this theory asserts. Explanation.

Doctor Strange: an incomprehensible wanda

The Scarlet Witch has took a very dark and very strange path in the recent film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. But his plans may have been part of a bigger whole, of which the clues combine the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange 2, but also the Marvel series WandaVision and Moon Knight. You may be many to You may have been told that Wanda Maximoff’s plans in the movie Doctor Strange 2 were weird, if not downright bad. Well, maybe you’re not wrong. À the end of WandaVision, as she mourns her “magically created” children, she explores the possibilities offered to her by a strange book: the Darkhold. The latter shows him a way to bring back to life. she her family.

Later in the MCU, in Wong’s words, we learn that the Darkhold is a creation of an entity; extremely powerful superior named Chton, which is related to Marvel’s version of Cthulhu. In the comics, the latter is stuck in another dimension. And the Darkhold is one of the ways she has to interact with our world. Also, the theory put forward today would have it that Chton influenced Wanda, specifically showing her a way to help her leave this dimension: America Chavez. Indeed, the film and the dedicated series showed it to us. Wanda Maximoff had no trouble making it. “make your children” by magic, but she realized that stealing them would only create another sad Wanda somewhere, who would also be looking for her. get her children back. From the start, Wanda’s plan was a bad plan. At least, for her.

Wanda: a henchman manipulated by Chton?

It is America Chavez herself who puts the chip to us; the ear. She clarifies in a dialogue to Strange that she feels like she is being followed by “a henchman working for a demon.” In the plot, Wanda has already sent several creatures to his pursuit. But she could also be the henchman in question, serving Chton. The Darkhold has the particularity; to show what one is looking for and how to obtain it, but until present, it has always been misleading for those who did not pay attention to it. Chton, knowing this fact, knowingly showed to Wanda the necessary spells and knowledge about the Mutlivers and its possibilities by making him believe that it was a solution to the problem. his problems. But these are not the only clues lying around. Indeed, the spell she uses, the “Dream Walking” to borrow a body from another dimension against her will. works the same way as in the Moon Knight series, with Khonshu (also a god) and Marc Spector, the only detail that differs being the consent .

The series also showed us that beings from other dimensions gain power when channeled through an avatar. Playing with the multiverse, Strange created full of holes and breaches in which gods and entities could infiltrate. But the most interesting point is not there. Hagatha Harkness made it clear that the Scarlet Witch was not born, but forged. And it’s true that among all the Wanda in the multiverse, there is only one Scarlet Witch. Chaos is one of Chton’s main powers. Chton could have put his powers at the service of Wanda, to shape her as she was. his image, like a sort of mantle surrounding him. In the comics, the two had a very close relationship in multiple stories. It wouldn’t be surprising to see them adapted in a few years within the MCU.
