Doctor Strange & Loki"s Hidden Multiverse Link Sets Up A Major Villain
An interesting multiversal connection between Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may be teasing an important supernatural villain. Although it was the third project in Phase 4, Loki effectively launched the Multiverse Saga. With its introduction of the sacred and diverging timelines, variants, the TVA, and of course He Who Remains played by the great Jonathan Majors, Loki set the stage for a saga’s worth of multiversal stories – much of which the saga has strangely ignored. That is until Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness significantly expanded audiences’ understanding and expectations by incorporating incursions and exploring more alternate universes and variants.
The next step was Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania with Majors returning and stealing the show as Kang the Conqueror. Yet, he was unexpectedly killed off, paving the way for Immortus, Rama-Tut, and Scarlet Centurion in the post-credits scene as the leaders of the new Council of Kangs. This is all setting the stage for Avengers: The Kang Dynasty. Naturally, given their role throughout the Multiverse Saga thus far, both Loki and Doctor Strange must rightfully play pivotal roles in the upcoming conflict. However, an interesting supernatural link between the two heroes may also set up a conflict with another significant villain whether in a future Avengers film or elsewhere.
