Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessis clearly going to release all manner of cameos on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with a recent poster seemingly revealing an appearance from The Merc With a Mouth himself,Deadpool. The poster, which was released by Twitter userDoctor Strange 2 Updates, shows Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange smashing the window of The Sanctum Sanctorum, teases several variants from across the multiverse, with some eagle-eyed fans thinking they’ve spotted a hint of Deadpool.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesswill pick up following the events ofSpider-Man: No Way Homeand the first season of Loki. Dr. Stephen Strange, with the help of both old and new mystical allies, travels into the multiverse to face a mysterious new adversary. Based on the recent trailer, it looks like some of these new allies will be characters already established,such as Captain Carter who has also been teased in this latest poster, as well as various 20th Century Fox franchises, including Patrick Stewart’s Professor X. Thus, the idea of Deadpool popping up for some multiversal adventures is not far beyond the realm of possibility…

Deadpool Creator Rob Liefeld Recently Confirmed Many of the Ongoing Rumors
Adding fuel to the already hugely warming fire,Deadpoolcreator Rob Liefeldrecently confirmed that many of the ongoing rumors surroundingDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessare indeed true. “I think it’s safe to say some of the stuff, you just said that’s out there, it’s happening. It’s in, it’s been seen… And so dude, give us lots of that,” Liefeld said.
According to the comic book legend, the studio is currently test screeningDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessover and over again, with the hopes that they can make this exploration of the multiverse even more exciting than the likes ofSpider-Man: No Way Home. “But yeah, Doctor Strange… to answer that other question and, you know, whatever they’re testing. I kind of feel like each… result of each test that’s being reported in the press is ‘We need to put more cool shit in that movie,'” Liefeld continued.
This will seemingly include adding as many characters previously owned by 20th Century Fox as possible to proceedings, which would, of course, includeDeadpool. “You want me to see it six times, you bring some of that [Fox-Marvel] stuff in… And actually, I know on some level, some of it is already there,” Liefeld added. “I have just revoked every – every one of my [Marvel] passes just got revoked.”
Fans will have to wait a little while to find just how mad the events ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessare going to get, with the Marvel sequel scheduled to be released on July 18, 2025, as part of Phase Four of theMCU.
