Charles Xavier’s voice heard in new Doctor Strange trailer

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' new trailer is here — in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. In between the 2022 Super Bowl on Sunday, Marvel Studios unveiled a new trailer for its next big-screen Marvel Cinematic Universe adventure, led by Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange/ Doctor Strange and Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/ Scarlet Witch. Shortly after, Marvel India put up the five local-language trailers on its official YouTube channel. The new Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer has gotten fans very excited, for many believe a disembodied voice belongs to Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier — from the X-Men movies.

“Every night, I dream the same dream. And then, the nightmare begins,” Strange (Cumberbatch) says at the start of the new Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer, as we see him experiencing horrific scenes. As we see him study a series of red blobs, he adds: “I did what I had to do to protect our world.” His friend-mentor and the new Sorcerer Supreme Wong (Benedict Wong) tells him: “You cannot control everything, Strange. You opened a doorway between universes, and we don't know who or what will walk through it.” We get a bit more of the Strange-Wanda conversation from the first trailer, as Wanda says Vision believed the multiverse was “dangerous”.

And then midway through the new Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer, shortly after his former friend-turned-foe Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) tells him that his “desecration of reality won't go unpunished”, Strange is carted off by robots to what looks like a high-council chamber. There, a guy who's never seen — except a portion of his bald head — says to Strange: “We should tell him the truth.” This is the moment that is making everyone go crazy, for the Internet believes the “Mystery Voice” — as the individual is credited in the trailer — belongs to Stewart's Professor Xavier, who has played the character six times, the last time being Logan in 2017.

Post that, the new Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer moves into action-oriented gear, as we see Strange tumbling down weird dimensions — do one of them have dinosaurs or am I crazy? — and Wanda fighting off a villain who is pulsating with energy literally. “You break the rules and become the hero. I do it and become the enemy,” a frustrated Scarlet Witch tells him, as we are shown a version of Wanda visting a version of Scarlet Witch in what looks like the modern version of her (destroyed) home from WandaVision. “That doesn't seem fair,” she adds.

The Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer ends with the new dimension-travelling America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) and Wong showing off their skills, before giving us a peek of a ghoulish Strange with many hands.

In addition to Cumberbatch, Ejiofor, Olsen, Wong, and Gomez, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness also stars Michael Stühlbarg as a rival surgeon to Strange named Nicodemus West, and Rachel McAdams as Strange's former lover and colleague Christine Palmer.

Sam Raimi (Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man trilogy) directs Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, off a screenplay written by Loki creator Michael Waldron. John Mathieson is the cinematographer, Bob Murawski is the editor, and Danny Elfman returns as composer after Doctor Strange. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige is the sole producer. Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Eric Hauserman Carroll, and Jamie Christopher are executive producers. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a production of Marvel Studios, with Disney handling distribution globally.
