New Marvel movie introduces new lineup of the group of heroes
“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” officially arrived in Brazilian theaters after a series of changes to its premiere schedule due to the COVID-19 pandemic and introduced a famous comic book group to the Marvel Cinematic Universe: the Illuminati.
Bringing together the greatest minds of the Marvel Universe, the Illuminati emerged after the Kree-Skrull war and is an alliance made up of the main characters and leaders of the Marvel Universe, such as the X-Men, Avengers and Inhumans.
Its members change over time, but the principle is the same: shaping the course of the Earth and the world of superheroes from the shadows, influencing politics, economics, agreements and even carrying out missions of a questionable nature, getting their hands dirty. in a way that more public heroes cannot, or will not.
In their first appearance in the comics, the supergroup was formed by Charles Xavier (or Professor X), Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic, leader of the Fantastic Four), dating (the Sub-Mariner, leader-regent of Atlantica), Tony stark (Iron Man, leader of the Avengers), black ray (leader of the Inhumans and king of the Inhuman race) and the Stephen Strange.
ATTENTION: If you haven’t watched “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”, the new Sorcerer Supreme movie now available in theaters, it’s best not to continue reading, as the text contains spoilers.
Despite fan expectations, the group arrived at the MCU with a different lineup from the comics, but still very grandiose. In addition to having Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), the new Surpemo Mage, Marvel brought back Patrick Stewart to reprise his iconic role as Charles Xavierone of the most famous characters in the universe of heroes.
THE black ray was also present and is interpreted by no one else, no one less, who anson Mount, actor who has already given life to the character in the series “Inhumans”. Like “Daredevil” and even the X-Men, Marvel works that were not released by Disney, we can consider the ABC series as canon – at least, in another reality.
Despite the high expectations of fans, Tom Cruise did not appear as superior iron man and we didn’t even have Namor’s first appearance on the big screen, which should only happen in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”, but another heavy name has finally arrived in the MCU: John Krasinski.
Krasinski has shown interest in participating in the new “Fantastic Four” project in the past and surprised fans by appearing in theaters as Reed Richards, Mister Fantastic. The character appears wearing the hero’s classic uniform and still claims that he is married and has children. Will we have the “fancast” of dreams coming true with Emily Blunt in the role of Sue Storma Women Invisible?
To replace Stark and Namor, the writers placed two powerful women, and who were already known to fans, among the Illuminati. Hayley Atwell is officially back in the MCU as a Variant of the captain Americaa Captain Carter. after interpreting Peggy Carter in the saga of infinity, the great love of Steve Rogers from Earth 616, Atwell appeared in uniform as the captain britain. This version of the character had already appeared in the animated series “What If…?”, which is canon, and those who watched the episodes on Disney+ were already looking forward to seeing the heroine on the big screen.
The last member of the Illuminati is Maria Rambeaucharacter played by Lashana Lynchthe variant of captain marvel of that reality. the mother of Monica Rambeau appeared wearing the heroine’s first blue uniform, the same as the one worn by Brie Larson in his solo film.
It is worth remembering that although the characters are canon and are officially part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this does not mean that they are the same versions as we know from the previous films, as they belong to a different reality. For example, even though Captain Carter appeared in “What If…?”, that doesn’t mean the version we saw in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is the same Disney+ series.
Considering the fate of the Illuminati in Stephen Strange’s second film, we can still see different versions of these characters in future projects from the studio, such as Variants from other multiverse realities.
