The Mystery of the Watcher in 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'

Is the enigmatic Watcher making an appearance in the highly anticipated Marvel Studios film 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'? The answer, according to recent analysis, is a resounding no. However, the absence of the Watcher in this movie adds to the layers of mystery and intrigue that come with the multiverse storyline.

Official Standings

However, it's important to note that the Watcher, a character often referenced in Marvel Comics, has a fairly low profile in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Most of his mentions are in other comic books and series, rather than in the films. But, fans have always been curious and interconnected their knowledge, hoping to see the Watcher in the highly anticipated 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'.

Release and Hopes

I watched the movie on its release date, May 4, 2022, and to my regret, there wasn't any direct mention or appearance of the Watcher. This might be due to the rapid success of the Disney series 'What If…', which has featured several instances of the Watcher. Yet, he was notably absent, adding to the speculative wonder about his continued influence in the universe.

Mystery of the Multiverse

The movie 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' explores the vast and complex multiverse, where various versions of Doctor Strange and Wanda Maximoff coexist. With so many multiverse-related characters rumored to appear—Professor X, Tony Stark, even Tom Cruise as Wolverine—it’s easy to wonder what role the Watcher might play. However, the trailers provided some hints but not definitive answers.

Speculation and Fan Theories

The absence of the Watcher in the movie doesn't mean he's completely out of the picture. 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' is known for its ability to surprise and keep audiences guessing. So, it's not entirely out of the question that he could appear in a way not directly mentioned in the trailers.

Conclusion

While the Watcher is not confirmed to appear in 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness', the movie is still full of mystery and unexpected plot twists. Only time will tell if he will make an impact in the upcoming storyline, either as a direct character or as an impalpable presence guiding the narrative. The multiverse is a vast and intricate web, and the Watcher plays a crucial role in shaping it.
