MCU: Why Doctor Strange's Multiverse Is Key To The X-Men & Fantastic Four

1. Mjolnir (And Jane Foster)

As the Thor: Love & Thunder part of the Phase 4 panel at Comic Con confirmed with no small amount of swagger, we're going to be seeing a female God Of Thunder in the MCU. Thanks to a storyline based on the work of Jason Aaron, Jane Foster will wield Mjolnir as the new "female Thor" - though she probably (hopefully) won't be called that in the final film.

The issue for all of that, clearly, is that she can't currently wield Mjolnir, because there is no Mjolnir in her part of the MCU main timeline. It was destroyed by Hela during the events of Thor: Ragnarok and the one that Thor brought back from the past in Endgame was returned there by Captain America. Or so the story goes, anyway. It had to have been to keep the timeline as it was, by the internal logic of the MCU, so there's not really a loophole there to exploit.

The only way for Jane to get her hands on Mjolnir is for her to get it from somewhere else entirely and it's not like Valkyrie is just going to get another forged for her. Instead, it has to come from the Multiverse, which means the idea of OTHER things coming through the Multiverse the same way HAS to be possible.
