Based on what audiences have pieced together from the Spider-Man: No Way Home promotional rollout, Strange will use his magic to help Spider-Man reverse the reveal of his identity, which occurred at the end of Spider-Man: Far From Home. However, Strange’s power utilization opens other universal branches that become difficult to contain due to an apparent mistake. The premise of the new Doctor Strange film is unknown, but the multiverse has been an evolving element within the MCU. The first mentions appeared within the WondaVision and Loki Disney Plus series, but Spider-Man: No Way Home seems to be the engine that will drive the momentum of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Reports have circulated that audiences could expect to see a Doctor Strange 2 trailer before the end of the year, which sparks a level of intrigue within this new speculation. According to a Tweet by Cinema Reviewed, the Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness teaser will serve as the second post-credits scene for Spider-Man: No Way Home. There is no report on when an official trailer will be released, but a glimpse into the narrative would make sense after a film that deals with a similar subject matter.
In a new trailer released by Sony for Spider-Man: No Way Home, audiences can briefly see Strange mimicking actions on display in the WandaVision Disney Plus series. Strange seems to be casting unrecognized runes eerily similar to Wanda Maximoff and Agatha Harkness. The spell ensures that the use of magic is limited solely to the individual who casts the enchantment. WandaVision star Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Wanda Maximoff, announced that the filming of the new Doctor Strange film had wrapped in September. It is no secret that Wanda Maximoff will play a massive role in the Multiverse of Madness, but it is yet another connection that may make a rumored teaser a possibility.
Every look at Spider-Man: No Way Home seems to reveal something new, which only builds upon the excitement within audiences to see how the multiverse will establish its role in the MCU. The emergence of familiar Spider-Man villains from previous Spider-Man films highlights the effect a universal shift will have on the arch of the narrative. The role of Strange seems to be centered around containing and reestablishing order, but the collapse of the multiverse appears to be the main focus of the newest phase of the MCU. A tease of the new Doctor Strange film would be a welcomed surprise, but its inclusion would make a tremendous amount of sense. What better bridge to establish than to have the obstacles of Strange lead into his newest adventure? Connections across various MCU stories is a solid way of letting audiences know that things will collide head-on pretty soon.
Rumors are a part of the game and have sparked many conversations that have ended in disappointment. The footage released for Spider-Man: No Way Home has hinted that the multiverse collapse will be a part of this narrative. The inclusion of Doctor Strange and the numerous connections across various MCU stories continue to build the speculation that are things slowly starting to come full circle. Breadcrumbs drive the conversation, but everything seems to be leading to something special at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home. It will have an unknown effect on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but a potential teaser may fill in those bothersome blanks.
Spider-Man: No Way Home hits theater on December 17, 2021, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to premiere in theaters on May 6, 2022.
