In learning these skills from a powerful sorcerer called The Ancient One ( Tilda Swinton) and fellow sorcerer Baron Mordo ( Chiwetel Ejiofor), he suddenly finds himself thrust into a war that is unfolding across multiple planes of existence and dimensions, threatening to destroy the Earth. However, he gets a new lease on life when he learns about mystical arts that would allow him to heal himself and regain full control of his motor skills. It's also the most metal the MCU has ever been.In Doctor Strange, cocky but gifted neurosurgeon Stephen Strange ( Benedict Cumberbatch) was in a devastating car accident that derailed his career by ruining his steady hands. He tries to speak, and it backfires into his own skull, deflating his head like a punctured volleyball. When a member of the Illuminati tells Wanda he could kill her just by opening his mouth, she says, "What mouth?" The camera pans down to reveal she's made the guy's orifice disappear. Nothing in this scream-inducing sequence is more shocking than the death of Black Bolt, which looks more like something out of "The Boys" than the squeaky-clean MCU. Waited years to see the Fantastic Four in the MCU? Well, wait longer, because this version of Mister Fantastic just got shredded. Did you miss Professor X? Sorry, his neck's now been snapped in a liminal space where Scarlet Witch has Wanda's subconscious trapped under a pile of rubble. Scarlet Witch just absolutely destroys these heroes in a matter of minutes.

This is a mouthwatering smorgasbord of cameos and reveals for hardcore Marvel fans, which makes what comes next all the more wild.
