Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness took fans on a terrifying journey through parallel universes as the titular Master of the Mystic Arts battled the Scarlet Witch, a rising villain.

The mid-credits scene introduced MCU fans to Charlize Theron’s Clea, a sorceress from the Dark Dimension whose actions will have significant ramifications for Doctor Strange and the other sorcerers in the MCU. Fans are left to speculate about where this intriguing character will appear next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania

Quantumania

It’s been confirmed that the third Ant-Man film, titled Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will feature the return of the MCU’s newest villain, Kang the Conqueror. but aside from that, not much else is known about the film’s upcoming February 2023 release date (Jonathan Majors).

With such a large-scale confrontation between Kang and the likes of Ant-Man and the Wasp, it appears that Marvel Studios is hiding a lot about this film from the general public. A fight of this magnitude would necessitate assistance from the superheroes with the closest ties to the multiverse, indicating that Doctor Strange and Clea could appear in the film, where they will meet Kang for the first time. but likely not the last time they do so.

Secret Invasion

Secret Invasion's MCU Timeline Raises A Huge Infinity War Question

Since Secret Invasion is based on the Secret Invasion comic book event, it is one of the most exciting new additions to the MCU’s ever-expanding streaming series. It’s expected to premiere sometime in the fall of 2022, with Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury examining the Skrull invasion of Earth and uncovering secrets that could change the Marvel Cinematic Universe forever.

The Skrull invasion of Earth will have ramifications across the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), so it’s safe to assume that this particular series will feature major moments that will alter the franchise for the better for all time. Kamar-Taj sorcerers, along with newly arrived Clea, are going to have to respond to this attack in their own unique ways. Clea, Strange, and Wong’s appearance in this series is highly likely, though some assert that the Fantastic Four’s appearance is more likely.

She-Hulk

Marvel Studios Reportedly Didn't Want She-Hulk Too Muscular

Tatiana Maslany will make her much-awaited Disney+ debut as the vicious She-Hulk in her own self-titled series this summer. As a superhero-themed legal procedural, She-Hulk will follow Jennifer Walters as she takes on a new case regarding superhumans each week, suggesting that she will get to know the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe during the first season.

It’s not out of the question that at least one episode of She-first Hulk season could feature Jennifer Walters dealing with the mystical side of the MCU. This would be a good chance for Marvel to explain exactly what happened between Clea and Stephen Strange in the mid-credits scene from Multiverse Of Madness. Even if they don’t meet, it’s possible that Wong will appear in this series.

Thor 4

Why Chris Hemsworth's Last MCU Film Might Be Thor 4

Thor: Love and Thunder is the next film in Marvel’s Phase 4 release schedule, reuniting Chris Hemsworth and Taika Waititi for a fun-filled romp through different corners of the galaxy. It will be the first appearance of Christian Bale’s Gorr the God Butcher, a villain who threatens everything the thunder god has ever stood for and who just might mark the end of the greatest Avenger’s time in the MCU.

Several Marvel characters have yet to be announced for Love and Thunder, and Clea could very well be one of them. Clea For the fourth time, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) will be spanned by the titular superhero Thor, who is searching for his identity. Could be that the former Master of the Mystic Arts comes to his aid again, as he did during Ragnarok. To his surprise, if this is true, he may find Strange already preoccupied with the news of the multiversal incursion brought to his doorstep by Clea on their first meeting, which would surprise him.

Doctor Strange 3

Everything We Know About Doctor Strange 3

Although Marvel Studios has yet to formally confirm a follow-up to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, such a film is inevitable given the success of their latest cinematic release. Doctor Strange 3 has already piqued the interest of fans, who are hoping that the wait will be shorter than it was for the previous instalment.

Doctor Strange 3 could be hinted at in a variety of ways, but the mid-credits scene from Multiverse of Madness seems to be the most definitive. He and Clea’s marriage is a central tenet in Doctor Strange’s mythos. In any case, fans can expect Charlize Theron’s character to play a significant role in the next film in the franchise, regardless of where she appears first.

Secret Wars

Hickman's Secret Wars

A multiverse storyline from the comics called Secret Wars appears to be looming over the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where heroes from different universes are forced to fight for the survival of their own. The perfect conclusion to the MCU’s multiverse storyline would be a film like Avengers 5, which has been Marvel’s most closely guarded secret since the release of Avengers: Endgame in 2019.

It was revealed in Clea’s disquieting message to Doctor Strange at the end Multiverse of Madness that the MCU was on the verge of an incursion into an unknown parallel reality. Secret Wars will undoubtedly occur if she and Strange are incapable of stopping this from happening, leaving the two sorcerers to aid the other heroes of their world in their fight to save their reality.. There are few people who have seen an incursion firsthand, so Clea’s role in such a film would be crucial.

The First Of Many

Who Is Clea_

 

A spinoff series for a Marvel character is a risk that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not afraid to take when it comes to film or streaming series. Given how well Marvel Studios has done on Disney+ thus far, a spinoff centered on the newly introduced Clea wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility.

It may seem unlikely, but a Clea-centered spinoff isn’t impossible, given that other characters like Agatha Harkness and Echo have received spinoffs after only one prior appearance in another MCU project. In the near future, the Dark Dimension’s Sorceress Supreme is likely to play a significant role in the franchise’s future, and she may already be in the works for her own franchise, maybe even earlier than many fans realize.
