16 APR 2022 · Writer-director-producer, Robert Meyer Burnett, and his guest, Rrr Mmmm, discuss the connection between the upcoming movie, DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS, and the Marvel Comics series, AVENGERS: Disassembled. In that comic series, Dr. Strange finally explains the scope of power running through Wanda Maximoff (the Scarlet Witch).
She can control all of reality and, as a result, reality controls her. Drama, conflict, and tragedy become excuses for her to change the world to fit the way she likes. But as she does, a little more of her slips away and she slowly loses her mind. She becomes the chaos.
Rob also reaffirms his belief that this movie will finally create the opening needed to introduce mutants and the X-Men to the MCU. DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS debuts on May 6, 2022.
