Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness: 10 Biggest MCU Implications

10. Corrupted Dr Strange

Whilst alternate versions of Dr Strange have taken a dark path ("What If?" Dr Strange springs to mind), mainline MCU Strange has always remained righteous, albeit calculated.

With Wanda serving as a threat way beyond his capabilities, Strange resorted to relying on 'dream-walking' and some necromancy, thanks to the Darkhold. Wong was truly shocked at the lengths Strange had resorted to in stopping Scarlet Witch's rampage.

This has been called out by various parties (including the members of the Illuminati) but it was ultimately successful in saving the day. The end of the movie seemed to showcase Strange finding fulfilment in his life, as he accepts Wong's authority as the Sorcerer Supreme, before moving on with his life.

However this all turned out to be the calm before the storm, as just before we cut to credits, it's shown that usage of the Darkhold has begun to corrupt Strange and caused him to resemble his dark self by developing a third eye.

With that in mind, we could see Stephen Strange grappling with his inner demons in upcoming movies, or face another Strange as an antagonist as Wanda did here.
