Physician Abnormal within the Multiverse of Insanity got here to theaters Friday, with director Sam Raimi returning to Wonder for the primary time since his Spider-Guy trilogy wrapped up in 2007. An come upon with new hero The us Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) forces the previous Sorcerer Superb to step outdoor the acquainted Wonder Cinematic Universe and discover different realities, and search support from fellow Avenger Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen).
“Despite the fact that the nominal hero of the movie feels a little bit misplaced, a robust central chase helps to keep the narrative transferring and the combination of journey, horror and motion is balanced with a swagger worthy of cocky superhero Physician Abnormal himself,” CNET’s Wealthy Knightwell stated in his evaluate.
Those occasions happen after the occasions of Spider-Guy: No Method House, which noticed Abnormal serving to Peter Parker after Mysterio printed the teenager’s secret id to the entire international.
It is time to see how Physician Stephen Abnormal’s journey within the Multiverse of SPOILERS wraps up. We even have a separate article diving into the post-credits scenes, if the ones intrigued you, a take a look at the Illuminati and a record of WTF questions the film left us with.
Scarlet Witch, corrupted
Decided to reunite together with her magically created sons Billy and Tommy after shedding them within the WandaVision finale, Wanda Maximoff has taken The us Chavez to her drafty Scarlet Witch temple on the most sensible of Mount Wundagore.
She’s been corrupted by means of the Darkhold, a e-book of forbidden magic, and begins casting a spell to scouse borrow The us’s energy to create portals between realities — which is a little bit imply, since it will end up deadly for the brand new hero.
Wanda Maximoff would possibly not be getting her Avengers club card renewed any time quickly.
Wonder Studios
Alternatively, doing so will permit Wanda to pass right into a truth the place her boys exist. Up to now, she’d most effective been ready to go into that universe via darkish magic referred to as dream-walking, which allowed her to quickly take over the frame of her counterpart on Earth-838, engage together with her sons and hunt our heroes.
It sort of feels like Sorcerer Superb Wong (Benedict Wong) has been killed, since Wanda dropped him off a cliff after he attempted to forestall her plan to sacrifice The us.
Undead Abnormal
Abnormal and the Earth-838 variant of his ex-girlfriend Christine Palmer are trapped in a truth the place Sinister Abnormal — a warped model of him who tapped into that international’s Darkhold — led to an apocalyptic match.
They defeat that international’s Abnormal, leaving him impaled on a fence, and MCU Abnormal makes use of the Darkhold to dream-walk into the corpse of Defender Abnormal — a model of him who’d been killed whilst serving to The us.
Extraordinarily badass.
Wonder Studios
This forbidden act activates the spirits of the damned to seek Abnormal, however the undead hero manages to tame the wraiths and turns them into an amazing shadowy cloak — I might want an motion determine of this.
Confronting Wanda
Since there was once no method being thrown off a mountain was once going to kill Wong, he manages to climb again as much as the temple simply as his corpse-inhabiting friend arrives. They loose The us, who sends Wanda to Earth-838 and exposes her evil to that truth’s Billy and Tommy.
Seeing how a lot her complete “demonic witch” vibe upsets the lads makes Wanda understand the horror she’s wrought. Returning to the MCU, she tears down her temple, destroying the Darkhold in each truth and apparently crushing herself. It is a unhappy finish for the previous Avenger, who is in reality had a tricky time in existence.
A contented finishing?
Abnormal portions techniques with Earth-838 Christine, admitting that he at all times beloved her MCU counterpart. At magical temple Kamar-Taj, The us learns the mystic arts — probably as a way of controlling her truth hopping skills. Abnormal bows earlier than Wong, it seems that accepting him as the brand new Sorcerer Superb.
Abnormal fixes the fondness watch Christine gave him on one in every of their early dates, suggesting he is transferring on (no less than I am hoping so, since she’s married). Apparently content material, he strolls alongside the New York Town boulevard till a 3rd eye sprouts in the midst of his brow, confirming that he is been corrupted by means of the Darkhold.

Is Wanda useless?
It certain seems like Wanda misplaced her existence as she destroyed the temple and Darkholds around the multiverse, however her standing as an impressive magic wielder leaves the door open for her go back — her horrible deeds might be blamed at the Darkhold corrupting her thoughts. WandaVision additionally created the chance that her lover Imaginative and prescient may just come again, and he may well be keen to trace her down.
Wanda’s arc on this film echoes the shaggy dog story the place grief over her misplaced, magically created sons led to her to create the Area of M, another truth the place mutants dominated, and the following Decimation, the place she wiped the powers of maximum of Earth’s mutant inhabitants. She was once in the long run redeemed, so her MCU counterpart may just practice that trail.

Is Strange evil now?
No, the mid-credits scene robs this cliffhanger of any tension by showing him strolling down the street again and calmly opening his third eye when he meets Clea.
We might see him grappling with the Darkhold’s corruption in a later appearance though. It’s unclear where he’ll show up next, but Agatha Harkness — former owner of the Darkhold — is getting her own Disney Plus show sometime in the future. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania also seems like it’ll continue the multiverse plotline when it comes out next February.
