The Marvel Cinematic Universe has made progress in great leaps and bounds in the last couple of movies alone. The string of events that connects the MCU in its overarching narrative has now found a common Avenger as the root cause of it all. And it all began with the multiversal shenanigans ofSpider-Man: No Way Home.
After the reality-warping, world-bending, and shockingly cool story ofNo Way Home, Earth-616 has not been the same. As tragic as Peter Parker’s arc may have been in the final moments of the film, that tragedy was reduced in impact by Doctor Strange and Clea’s chat about incursions.
Now, it remains to be seen how Doctor Strange can tie up all the loose storylines of the MCU’s Multiversal Saga in its anticipated semi-finale,Avengers: Doomsday.
Doctor Strange has an important arc inDoomsday
Doctor Strange’s otherworldly mystical powers make it highly difficult for anything in the universe to get by him, be it in this reality or an alternate one. His 14 million predictions inAvengers: Infinity Waralready established the range of his powers beyond the shadow of a doubt, and yet, there is something terrifyingly unpredictable about the Avenger himself, as seen inMultiverse of Madness.
Despite his cool-headed approach to solving the universe’s biggest dilemmas, incursion just might be the one thing to throw him off balance when it comes to real-world threats. Earth-616 is now at the center of the chain of events that set off the universe-shattering incursion. Clea knows it. Doctor Strange knows it. The audience knows it. Now, all that’s left is forDoomsdayto arrive.

With one of the most capable Avengers now being at the center of it all, the Multiversal Saga has become exponentially interesting as realities will come crashing down presenting an endless stream of dangers and possibilities. But the most important arc will be that of Doctor Strange and his contribution to making the incursions happen.
The Avenger who is at the center of it all
WithAvengers: Doomsdaylooming over the Marvel fandom, there are endless questions to be answered and mysteries to be solved. For one, Doctor Strange’s shenanigans inNo Way Homeplayed a major factor in causing the first domino to fall. Scarlet Witch further worsened the case inMultiverse of Madness.
Now, Charlize Theron’s arrival as Clea and her subtle hint toward what lies ahead for the mystical Avenger has had the fans biting their nails in anticipation. WithDoctor Strange at the center of it all, the Avenger will finally get his due on screen as the fans can finally witness the sheer scale of his powers in full display.

However, as for the incursions, the blame for it all still lies on his shoulders – an irony considering he is blessed with insurmountable knowledge about the past, the present, and the future. Without the Time Stone in his possession, perhaps the good Doctor is finally imbued with some flaws in his powers.
Asexplained by Alex Perezregarding the aftermath ofSpider-Man: No Way Homeinfluencing the events ofAvengers: DoomsdayandSecret Wars:
They’ve always been linked. If I had to divide the blame as to who is responsible for the current incursion 616 is about to face, 75% of it goes to Strange, with 60% being the events ofNWH.
Doctor Strange will definitely have a larger role to play inDoomsdayandSecret Warsthan he did in the Infinity Saga. Moreover, with the MCU going full steam ahead with its family of superheroes, one can hardly wait to witness how Doctor Strange brings the Multiversal Saga to a smart and satisfactory closure.
Avengers: Doomsdayis slated to release on 30 May 2025.
