I am ready for Wanda Maximoff's villain era, I'm not even sorry.
Like, I feel safe letting you all know that I fully started weeping at a Super Bowl party when Marvel had the audacity to drop this trailer BEFORE the game. I was caught off guard. I was unprepared. My family now thinks I'm chaotic.
Picking up after the events of WandaVision and Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) is now dealing with some major problems after cracking open the multiverse to help Peter Parker (whoever he is 😉). Meanwhile, Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) is attempting to move on from Westview while secretly studying the Darkhold.

Marvel / Via youtu.beBasically, SO much happens in this barely two-minute trailer and I need to talk about every detail, Easter egg, and out-of-this-world theory I've got, because this is the multiverse and anything can happen.
So, here are all the details and Easter eggs I spotted in this trailer:
1. In the first shot of the trailer, we get a glimpse of Doctor Strange watching as the Sanctum Sanctorum starts to disappear in what looks like a deadly reality that has been created.
3. We saw it in the first teaser trailer, but I'm so obsessed with this shot, I have to point this out again. This is Stephen's watch we previously saw in Doctor Strange, and the broken watch could symbolize how time (and space) are fracturing.
4. In the beginning of the trailer, you get a great look at America Chavez's signature jean jacket from the Marvel comics. The star represents her ability to create star-shaped portals that allow her to trek across the multiverse.
5. When Doctor Strange is performing magic at one point, you can see that he's using red magic, which is typically associated with Chaos Magic, aka the magic Wanda wields.

The MCU has color coded the different types of magic, with red representing Wanda's Chaos Magic and the Dark Dimension magic that Kaecilius notably used in Doctor Strange.
6. This is the first time we get a glimpse of who appears to be Dr. Christine Palmer's future husband. You can spot him standing behind her.
7. If you look closely, you can see that the tips of Wanda's fingers are turning black, which is the same thing that happened to Agatha when she used the Darkhold in WandaVision.
8. The door we see Doctor Strange, America, and Christine open could finally be giving us a look at the Nexus of All Realities from the comics.

In the comics, the Nexus is the cross-dimensional gateway that provides a path to all possible realities. It's basically the place between realities and it would make sense that we are headed here, especially after Loki.
9. When Doctor Strange is handcuffed and being walked through a building, he's been flanked by Ultron bots. Basically, it looks like we'll be getting to see what would happen if the Ultron program was successful and worked.
10. When Doctor Strange walks into this room, you can see several people seated, and a running theory right now is the person all the way on the left could be Reed Richards from the Fantastic Four. It's a little hard to get a clear image, but like, this doesn't seem SUPER far-fetched considering a future Fantastic Four movie is in the works for the MCU.
11. Now, this is the part of the trailer that really killed me, because while the subtitles say "mystery voice," I would recognize this voice anywhere. It looks like Patrick Stewart is reprising his role as Professor Xavier from the X-Men movies. I am very much not calm.
12. Now, stick with me here: In the comics, Doctor Strange is part of a group called the Illuminati, which consists of Doctor Strange, Professor Xavier, Reed Richards, Iron Man, Black Bolt, and Namor. Meaning, if this is really Reed AND Professor X, this could be happening.

Basically, the Illuminati were a think tank consisting of these characters. They met in secret for years and shared information and strategy. This could also mean we would be getting an alternate version of Iron Man.
