The Illuminati will see you now,” states Karl Mordo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, hinting at a grand encounter with some of the most effective heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.The 28th MCU motion picture landed in theaters on Friday and sent the ex-Sorcerer Supreme (Benedict Cumberbatch), Avenger/Disney Plus star Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and brand-new hero America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) on a wild flight through several realities. America and Strange flee to a futuristic truth designated Earth-838. The MCU is Earth-616, which takes place to be the same designation given to the mainline comic universe– suggesting each is thought about the prime truth of its medium.Seeking assistance from this worlds Strange, they find he died heroically and has been changed as Sorcerer Supreme by Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor).

The charming-but-sneaky Mordo drugs America and Strange, bringing them to the Central Park head office of the Illuminati. This group of elite heroes will be familiar to long time Marvel fans– lets go through each one, and their terrible, terrible fates.Reed Richards/Mr. Reed Richards is the leader of the Fantastic Four, Marvels very first superhero group.
Paramount Pictures
Hes played here by John Krasinski (of The Office and A Quiet Place popularity), an actor whom fans have actually called to be cast in the role for several years. Unsurprisingly, Krasinski is pretty much best as Reed, instilling the character with the right mix of gravitas and warmth.Ol Stretcho kindly describes the threat of Wandas multiversal madness causing an attack– an apocalyptic occasion that occurs when one multiversal truth crashes into another. And after that he encounters Wanda.Reed does not constantly have a beard, but he looks excellent with one.

” I have kids of my own. I understand your pain,” he states, in an attempt to factor with her. She asks if their mother is alive, to which he responds in the affirmative. In the comics, Reed is wed to fellow FF member Sue Storm (aka Invisible Woman) and their children are Franklin and Valeria.” Good. There will be someone left to raise them,” Wanda responds.Sounds like a danger, due to the fact that it is. Reed extends out to limit her, but she amazingly levitates him before tearing his body apart like string cheese and rupturing his head. I think Earth-838 has a Fantastic Three now.We havent seen this characters Earth-616 counterpart yet. Its unclear whether Krasinski will repeat his function in the upcoming MCU Fantastic Four film or if this was just a nod to fans whove been wishing for him to be cast. Hes ideal for this part, however it might be a little too obvious.Theres something so encouraging about Patrick Stewart as Professor X.

Charles Xavier/Professor XThis person has the most cinematic history of the Illuminati members, with Patrick Stewart returning to the function he stemmed in 2000s X-Men. This isnt the same version of the powerful psychic mutant we saw in those movies, but its pretty exhilarating to see Stewart coming back.Marvel understands how to optimize Xaviers emotional impact, putting the hero in his signature yellow hoverchair from the comics and providing us a tip of the 90s X-Men animated series theme when he enters (the program is likewise getting a Disney Plus revival).
Xavier displays more compassion than his fellow Illuminati, who dont trust Earth-616 Strange due to his Earth-838 equivalent ruining a reality in his Darkhold-assisted mission to defeat this realitys Thanos. Xavier dives into her mind and attempts to help Earth-838 Wanda take back control of her body, however her Earth-616 equivalent emerges on the mental plain and snaps the X-Men creators neck.

This is the 4th time Stewarts Xavier has actually passed away– hes disintegrated by a Dark Phoenix-possessed Jean Grey in X-Men: The Last Stand (though he moves his mind into a comatose patient), Sentinels blast him offscreen in X-Men: Days of Future Pasts dystopian timeline (the past is rewritten soon later, so its reversed), and a clone of Wolverine fatally stabs him in Logan.Blackagar Boltagon/Black BoltInhuman king Black Bolt is played by Anson Mount, who formerly represented the character in the bad 2017 Inhumans TV show (and more recently appeared in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds). As the leader of a near-human species, who gains random superpowers through contact with Terrigen Mist, his voice holds amazing harmful power.We last saw Black Bolt in the Inhumans series, nobodys preferred Marvel show.

He used this ability to execute the Darkhold-corrupted Earth-838s Strange at the request of his fellow Illuminati. Excuse me while I have a little cry.We dont understand where Earth-616 Black Bolt is– the show ended with him leading the Inhumans from their old house on the moon to Earth and making it their home.
Maria Rambeau/Captain MarvelIt appears that in this universe, Carol Danvers fellow pilot, rather of her, was empowered by the Tesseract, using up the mantle and turning into one of the worlds greatest heroes. This character was presented in Captain Marvel, and is played by Lashana Lynch (likewise seen as the new 007 in No Time To Die).” Higher, further, faster, child.” Maria Rambeau got to fly without a plane in Earth-838.

Shes positive she can beat Wanda and puts up a good fight, but ends up being crushed by a statue (it looks a bit like Jocasta, the female variation of Ultron). On Earth-616, Rambeau didnt get powers. Her daughter Monica acquired energy based powers throughout the occasions of WandaVision, suggesting the Rambeaus are destined for superheroics.Captain CarterEarth 838s Peggy Carter has been empowered by the Super Soldier formula, most likely in place of Steve Rogers (who ended up being Captain America in Earth-616).
Marvel Studios
Hayley Atwell has played the non-powered Earth-616 Carter several times and voiced Captain Carter in the animated series, however its our very first time seeing her playing a superpowered take on the character in live-action. Unlike her What If …? counterpart, she enhances her abilities with a jetpack, and its incredibly cool.Unfortunately, shes no match for Wanda. When Carter flings her Union Jack guard at the Scarlet Witch, its sent out flying back at her and we see what occurs when you fail to catch the vibranium disc. You get sliced in half at the waist, Darth Maul-style. Peggy lived a life of enjoyment in numerous realities.

In Earth-616, Carter lived through World War II and had a lot of adventures in her two-season TV program. Captain Carter working as a Shield representative in that programs season 1 finale.Karl MordoIn this truth, Mordo and Stranges relationship was worn down when Mordo ended up being intensely envious of Stranges power and impact.

His jealousy bubbles up when Earth-616 Strange taunts him, and the set fight. The more athletic Strange leaves Mordo stuck in a hole in the Illuminati throne room (should not have avoided leg day, Karl), and he winds up as the groups only survivor. Lucky him, but likewise a bit embarrassing.The movie Illuminati has some members in common with the initial comic lineup.
Marvel Comics
Earth-616 Mordo ended up being disillusioned with his fellow sorcerers after seeing their consistent violation of the natural laws. In the first Doctor Stranges post-credits scene, he steals a magic users energy and declares that there are “a lot of sorcerers” in the world.ComicsIn the comics, the Illuminati is a group of superhero leaders who share and fulfill details to prevent disaster. The initial roster included Tony Stark, Namor the Submariner, Reed Richards, Black Bolt, Doctor Strange and Charles Xavier.Earth-838 had a similar lineup– its likely Marvel decided it was prematurely to bring Tony back in any universe after his heroic sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame. Atlantean prince Namor has yet to appear in the MCU, but its likely hell appear quickly, offered his long comic history with the Fantastic Four.
