Spider-Man: No Way Home

The late trailer forSpider - gentleman’s gentleman : No Way Homepits Peter Parker against a wide array of villain from all the premature Spider - Man movie franchise . The wager have never been higher with Doctor Octopus , Green Goblin , Electro , and others all team up up against the Wall - Crawler . But there may be other villains , and , in fact , someone who is the ultimate villain behind everything .

circle of speculation has centered around the development in the two trailers see so far , and there is some possibility that the multiversal cataclysm happening in the picture is not altogether accidental . The true culprit could end up shocking audiences when the movie opens in December .

Doctor Strange

A lot of lover speculation aboutSpider - Man : No Way Homefocuses on Doctor Strange ’s behavior . It seems improbable that the Sorcerer Supreme would willingly lease in such a rash magic spell to delete people ’s memory of Peter Parker , not to advert also dismiss Wong ’s strict objections .

It ’s equally surprising that he would be distracted by Parker in casting it . Does Doctor Strange have an ulterior motive ? Is he attempting to get the Time Stone back , or is there some other reasonableness he would be so willing to take such a huge risk ?

What If…? Doctor Strange

Is he even Doctor Strange ? It ’s a valid question and one fan have been ask . A popular possibility about Doctor Strangehas his counterpart from the animatedWhat If … ?series impersonating him in hot - action mechanism . That variant of Doctor Strange ruin an entire population in acquire more and more magic and could be doing the same thing here .

The season finis ofWhat If … ?left the glum Doctor Strange trap in what remained of his realness , but he was trapped with six Infinity Stones , intend he has the force to escape and possibly do more harm .

Baron Mordo

legerdemain molding is amongDoctor Strange ’s strongest powers in the comic strip , but he ’s not the only one who can do it . It ’s possible someone is impersonate Strange in the movie , and a potential defendant is Baron Mordo . Fans last saw Mordo at the end of the firstDoctor Strangemovie , stealing back sorcerous others had used to help oneself people .

Baron Mordo was disillusioned by Strange ’s use of goods and services of thaumaturgy to spay nature and warned him the bill would finally come due . It ’s possible Mordo ’s manner of getting back at Strange is by consecrate a terrible act in his name .

Agatha Harkness

Agatha Harkness is one of the most muscular magiciansin the Marvel Universe and clearly has the power to portray someone else . Though Wanda Maximoff left her stranded in Westview at the conclusion ofWandaVision , it ’s possible that Agatha has since escaped . It could also be she is attempting to access darker and stronger magic , as she did in Westview .

Agatha is by all odds coming back to the MCU in her own cyclosis series , and it would n’t be unexpected to see her inDoctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness . If Doctor Strange is n’t himself , Agatha is a likely culprit .

Venom

It could be that Doctor Strange is just Doctor Strange . There may be villains beyond what the trailers have shown , and one of the biggest could be Venom . At the end ofVenom : permit There Be mass murder , Venom appear to be transported into the MCU through a unknown phenomenon that is likely link to the spell Strange casts inSpider - Man : No Way Home .

Venom could terminate up being the ultimate villain of the movie , especially once he finds out that every other villain is destined to die at the hands of Spider - Man . Eddie Brock is n’t likely to apprise that .

Mysterio

thaumaturgy may not be the graphics behind Doctor Strange . One thing rooter should be bet out for is Mysterio , whose unmistakable destruction spark Peter Parker ’s   movement to have Strange aid him in the first piazza . It ’s potential that Mysterio is alive and is using his extremely in advance hologram engineering science to not only trick Spider - Man but the world .

It would not be out of the realm of possibility for the intact invasion of Spider - Man villains to be some colossal illusion on Mysterio ’s part . Quentin Beck did begin his luxuriant lie inFar From Homeby saying he was from another Earth himself .

Mephisto

Comic Christian Bible lover know Mephistois one of the most powerful being in the Marvel Universe . MCU fan are in all probability burnt on any speculation about him afterWandaVision , but they should n’t be . While improbable , there is reason to suspect Mephisto in the magical quandary of the movie . Mephisto plays a huge character in a comic account book storyline which appear to have influencedNo Way Home .

In " One More Day , " Peter Parker makes a deal with Mephisto to trade the existence of his spousal relationship to Mary Jane and retentiveness of it for Aunt May ’s liveliness . This is virtually the same thing Peter is doing with Doctor Strange , leading some to hypothesise on Mephisto ’s involvement .

Shuma-Gorath

Shuma - Gorath could be manipulate Doctor Strange from another universe . This ancient cosmic being is so powerful that he can mentally manipulate others across dimensions , and give the hypothesis about the baddie ’s appearance inDoctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness , it ’s possible that everything inNo Way Homeis all prelude .

Shuma - Gorath may have already appear in the MCU . A tentacle behemoth resemble him has made a few appearances inWhat If … ?and the creature could be innocent now , causing chaos through the multiverse in ways Doctor Strange is barely cognisant of .

Kang The Conqueror

The MCU has established a major scoundrel connected to the multiverse in He Who Remains . The trance live on faulty inSpider - Man : No direction Homecould perhaps be connected to the fracturing of the Sacred Timeline at the ending ofLoki . It could also be a product of worldly manipulation by the manypowerful variants of Kang The Conquerorthat He Who Remains bug .

Kang ’s interference in the multiverse could be responsible in some agency for Doctor Strange ’s spell going sideways , and it could be Kang who emerges at the final stage as the ultimate villain peril the entire MCU .

The Scarlet Witch

There is another knock-down thaumaturgist with the power to alter realness and perceive other dimension . At the end ofWandaVision , the Scarlet Witch storey up considerably with the Darkhold . She also see the vocalization of her children , likely from another existence . She could either be impersonating Doctor Strange or more potential , be interfering in the spell for her purposes .

The Scarlet Witch needs access to other universe , but may not have the power or ability to do it yet . Once Strange ’s spell goes awry , the multiverse seems to swamp into the world , allowing her to find her twinned Son .
