New Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer is a psychedelic treat
"Your desecration of reality will not go unpunished."
"As I've written previously, we know that the new Dr. Strange film is set after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, WandaVision, and the first season of Loki.
> The latter introduced us to the Time Variant Authority (TVA), with our mischievous protagonist encountering multiple versions of himself from different timelines, including a female incarnation named Sylvie (Sophia di Martino).
> The finale featured a confrontation with a variant of Kang the Conqueror, who had been controlling the Sacred Timeline—until an impulsive act by Sylvie unleashed more timelines than the TVA could prune, destabilizing the multiverse.
What If...? introduced us to Strange Supreme, an evil alternate version of Steven Strange who gained enormous power by absorbing other mystical beings, thereby tearing reality apart. The Watcher eventually recruits Strange Supreme to be one of the Guardians of the Multiverse who collectively defeat Ultron. As for the events of No Way Home, Strange's multiverse meddling in that film is going to have unforeseen repercussions that will likely play out in Multiverse of Madness.
From the official synopsis: "After the events of Avengers: Endgame, Dr. Stephen Strange continues his research on the Time Stone. But an old friend-turned-enemy puts an end to his plans and causes Strange to unleash unspeakable evil. Journey into the unknown with Doctor Strange, who, with the help of mystical allies both old and new, traverses the mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse to confront a mysterious new adversary."
We saw the "old friend" in question when the first trailer dropped in December: Karl Mondo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Strange's fellow Master of the Mystic Arts, who grew disillusioned with the order and who now hunts down other mages to take away their power. Strange seeks out Wanda Maximoff/The Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) as an ally as reality begins to unravel..."
