Why did Dr. Strange get a third eye? ›

The Third Eye Represents The Wisdom Of Agamotto

In the comics, Doctor Strange's third eye is an organic manifestation of the Eye of Agamotto. It represents the wisdom of the sorcerer Agamotto and his fellow Vishanti, allowing Strange to see his enemies' true intentions and break magical illusions.

The main reality depicted in the MCU is designated Earth-616 in the film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), despite its designation as Earth-199999 by Marvel Comics and outside media.

The film was directed by Sam Raimi, written by Michael Waldron, and stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange, alongside Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Rachel McAdams.

Summaries. Doctor Strange teams up with a mysterious teenage girl who can travel across multiverses, to battle other-universe versions of himself which threaten to wipe out the multiverse. They seek help from the Scarlet Witch, Wong and others.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' mid-credits scene introduces a new character, Clea, played by Charlize Theron, a sorceress who arrives to ask Strange for help as his actions triggered a terrifying incursion. Clea is pivotal to Doctor Strange's storylines in Marvel Comics.

She collapses Mount Wundagore on herself and dies, destroying all copies of the Darkhold across the multiverse. Wanda has become a central character within the MCU, appearing in six films as of 2023. She also has a lead role in the miniseries WandaVision (2021).

She traveled across different realities, eventually adopted the moniker of Miss America, and began covertly acting as a superhero. Chavez eventually joined the Teen Brigade and served as co-leader with Ultimate Nullifier.

America Chavez was formed from some mysterious magic on the Utopian Parallel. She was gifted with the signature ability to punch star-shaped portals between dimensions, which has allowed her to travel across the universe and back.

However, I felt like there was not enough multiverse and maybe too much madness. Despite the entertaining visuals, the plot is fairly chaotic, and the acting & dialogue are inconsistent. This movie is an entertaining ride, but it's a little too messy to stand on its own. Was this review helpful?

Mordo was exiled to the Dimension of Demons by Dormammu. He battled Doctor Strange once more at Stonehenge, but was ultimately banished from Earth. Mordo would return eventually to continue to bedevil Doctor Strange. He impersonated Doctor Strange during Strange's brief retirement, but was soon vanquished.

Will there be a Dr. Strange 3? ›

3 – Doctor Strange joins the new Avengers from the Dark Dimension during Avengers 5. But, his adventures with Clea are showcased in Doctor Strange 3, which arrives after Avengers 5 but still acts as a prequel to it (similar to how Marvel handled Ant-Man and the Wasp and Avengers: Infinity War's timelines).

The Eye first appears in the live-action film Doctor Strange (2016), in which it was originally stored in the Masters of the Mystic Arts' secret compound, Kamar-Taj, until Doctor Strange borrows it to defeat Kaecilius and Dormammu. The Eye appears in Strange's possession in the live-action film Thor: Ragnarok (2017).

The third eye is a representation of mystical intuition and insight—an inner vision and enlightenment beyond what the physical eyes can see. It is traditionally depicted as being located in the middle of the forehead.

During an interview with Cinemablend in the lead-up to Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' release, director Sam Raimi revealed that "the Eye of Agamotto still has magical properties even without the Time Stone," which could explain its prolonged importance to Doctor Strange.

In another universe, Doctor Strange used Dreamwalking to travel across the Multiverse to kill versions of himself. This eventually caused an Incursion between the universe he originated from and another one. The Incursion managed to destroy his universe to the point where he was the only one left alive.
