KEEP IN MIND: This story consists of spoilers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
As a long-lasting Marvel Comics reader, I typically get a substantial toss out of the post-credits series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe motion pictures. Marvel does a wonderful task of teasing brand-new characters and stories, offering fans simply enough details to get thrilled and dispute what may be following to the motion pictures and television. Thanos’ expose in The Avengers made my theater emerge with comic fans gasping over the capacity of an Infinity Gauntlet story, and non-comic fans stating, “Who was that purple guy?”
Since the film is over at this moment, individuals are easily talking about the tease of note as the credits roll, and I’ve had numerous discussions with complete strangers to fill them in on who a character might be or why a specific product might be of value. It’s an all of a sudden enjoyable part of the Marvel film experience.
The exact same thing occurred after Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness‘ mid-credits series aired in my theater. I heard a lot of individuals ask their good friends and individuals near them who Charlize Theron’s character was. I too was a bit baffled. I had my suspicions, however Theron’s match didn’t lineup with the vision I had in my head. I believed she might be Clea or maybe a various cosmic character that would connect into the next Guardians of the Galaxy or Captain Marvel film. It ends up she’s playingClea You might not understand her now, however she will end up being a home name if she ultimately takes control of as theSorcerer Supreme Don’t act shocked. You understand Doctor Strange is most likely going to pass away. Like actually pass away. The Earth -616 variation.
As much as we enjoy the heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they all would appear to have brief expiration dates. Iron Man is gone. Black Widow is gone. Captain America is gone. And I dislike to state it, however it will not be long previously Thor, Hulk, Doctor Strange, and the majority of the characters from the very first 20 motion pictures are gone too.
These cherished heroes do not age (much) in the comics and can constantly revert back to their young, initial kinds thanks to story advancements. That isn’t the case with the MCU, which’s likewise what makes it sort of cool. We have real development in the superhero world, whereas the comics typically reverse it to develop brand-new entry points for readers.
So, yes, Clea will likely end up being the brand-new “Strange.” She presently holds this rank in the comics world within a brand-new series merely entitledStrange It’s off to a wonderful start and is the outcome of the similarly as exceptional The Death of Doctor Strange story, where he really passed away. He’ll most likely be reanimated within a year or 2, however for now, we get to see what Clea can do with these powers. I highly advise you to go out to your comics store to get this series’ very first 2 problems (the just 2 that are out since this writing) to get familiarized with her.
So who is she? This is where things get made complex. Clea is an extra-dimensional energy being and a part of the Faltine race. She has strong household ties to the Dark Dimension, and is the child of Umar (that makes her Dormammu’s niece). She can handle a humanoid kind, however can likewise appear like a fire being. See listed below:
Clea is a knowledgeable magic user who can bounce in between measurements. She is thought to be near to never-ceasing and likewise has actually boosted strength. When in human kind, she ultimately research studies under Steven, falls for him, they wed, and after that he passes away … terribly. And that’s where we are at now. She’s questing to bring him back, however isn’t having much luck yet.
Clea made her very first comics look in 1964 within Marvel’s Strange Tales # 126. Created by Stan lee and Steve Ditko, she’s remained in and out of comics for years, however recently appears to be taking hold as a main figure within Marvel’s primary connection.
If I needed to think, she will end up being the brand-new Sorcerer Supreme in the MCU within the next 4 to 5 years. I believe we’ll see their relationship grow in the next Doctor Strange movie, and after that he will likely pass away in the subsequent movie, which will provide her the title and power. There’s an opportunity they’ll both remain for a while– which would be incredible– however as I mentioned, the heroes we enjoy do not remain long. Brining in a fantastic star like Theron to handle this function, informs me Marvel has huge prepare for Clea.
Multiverse of Madness‘ mid-credit scene is a bit silly in its setup, as Doctor Strange does not reconsider diving into another measurement, however what it develops is huge for comic fans, as another fantastic character is now a part of the MCU.
