Doctor Strange within the Multiverse of Madness screenwriter Michael Waldron, who additionally served as the pinnacle author and creator of the Disney+ collection Loki, has spoke in regards to the many twists and turns of the most recent Marvel film. Doctor Strange 2 debuted to mildly constructive evaluations final week, and featured a scene halfway by that many believed was both a studio mandate or an excuse to ship fan service.

It’s like, what’s the most compelling version of this team that’s true to who they are in the comics, but also represents a group of folks the fans would be excited to see?”
