List of Every Rumored and Confirmed Cameo in 'Multiverse of Madness'
With only days to go until the film officially premieres in theaters, we'll soon find out which of the rumored cameos mentioned on this list are actually true.
Confirmed: Illuminati in 'Multiverse of Madness'
First one is pretty recent and actually been confirmed in the newest 'Doctor Strange 2' teaser. At one point Dr. Strange is seen being pushed into a mysterious auditorium as we hear an announcement by the very familiar voice of Karl Mordo, now long-haired, but seemingly unchanged: "Steven Strange, the Illuminati will see you now."
Confirmed: Professor X (Patrick Stewart)
First, fans spotted a very familiar silhouette in one of the first 'Multiverse of Madness' trailers – in a scene that actually is a direct continuation of the mentioned above scene with the reference to Illuminati. And then a couple of days ago we got yet another confirmation via CGV YouTube channel and the recent TV spot that was shown in ScreenX format in selected theaters (ScreenX is like IMAX but sideways). This 270-degree view allowed fans to see the back of Stewart's head, as well as the headpiece of his iconic hoverchair.
Patrick Stewart is listed alongside other actors among the cast of 'Multiverse of Madness' on IMDb. And finally, just a week before official premiere, Professor X was introduced in another teaser with Captain Carter and other Illuminati.
Confirmed: Captain Carter
Right alongside Professor Xavier in Illuminati corner is Captain Carter, played (supposedly) by Hailey Atwell. Captain Carter, one of the Peggy Carter variants, was introduced in animated 'What If?' series, and in one of the earliest posters of 'Multiverse of Madness' there's a pretty obvious 'What if?' Easter egg – Captain's shield, shattered but still recognizable.
Confirmed: America Chavez
'Multiverse of Madness' will see yet another superhero joining the MCU: America Chavez, played by Xochitl Gomez, can already be seen in glimpses in various trailers. As the film's director Sam Raimi revealed to Fandango, "she actually comes from another universe" and is going to create some contrast:
"Doctor Strange can be a very egotistical and stuffy character, a know-it-all. She just flies in the face of that. She doesn't really have respect for him originally."
'Multiverse of Madness' was preemptively banned in Saudi Arabia likely because of this particular character and her sexual orientation (The film will acknowledge America is gay, and homosexuality is still illegal in the Gulf region).
Confirmed: Maria Rambeau as Captain Marvel
Played by Lashana Lynch in 'Captain Marvel' solo film, Maria Rambeau will appear in 'Multiverse of Madness' as yet another "guest" from alternate universe – the reality where Rambeau became Captain Marvel instead of Carol Denvers. From the looks of it, this particular version of Captain Marvel isn't all that friendly towards Steven Strange and Wanda – in one of the most recent teasers it's actually Wanda who faces off against her.
Rumored: Superior Iron Man
This is actually one of the greatest "will they, won't they" moments in modern pop culture: rumors that Tom Cruise will appear as Superior Iron Man in some sort of a cameo have been circulating for more than a year now. Latest reports suggest that Tom Cruise is not in the movie after all (according to KC Walsh at least), but that doesn't stop fan artists from imagining how exactly 'Mission Impossible' star could look like in a superhero costume.
Rumored: Loki
Rumors about Loki's cameo intensified pretty recently, having been based on the movie's cast list: stunt doubles both for Tom Hiddleston (Loki) and Owen Wilson (Mobius in 'Loki' TV series) are on it. The only problem is, fans often forget that the information listed on IMDb page is public and can be added or edited by literally anyone.
Rumored: Deadpool
Craziest of them all, but, given that anything is possible in the multiverse, no madness seems wild enough. According to a recent rumor, we can expect Ryan Reynold's Deadpool popping up in one of post-credits scenes, effectively tying loud-mouthed superhero to the MCU. One of insiders even went as far as predicting that Deadpool will appear alongside his group of misfits from 'Deadpool 2' (Domino, Cable, Vanessa) in said post-credits scene, joking about Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier.
