to peter he says they're starting to come through and i can't stop them and if you look at the statue of liberty much of the scaffolding is gone and it's no longer holding that gaudy captain america shield which collapses during the big fight and this suggests that peter and doctor strange are having this moment in the aftermath of that battle given the presence of that magical mystery box as well maybe whatever happens during that fight deepens the fractures in the fabric of the multiverse and tears an even bigger hole in it one that dr strange can't seal off despite his impressive mystical powers according to the theory the they who are coming through could be even more visitors from other universes and that in turn will lead us directly into the events of doctor strange in the multiverse of madness what if instead of simply getting a bevy of spider-man villains and a pack of peter parker's we're also getting other massive cameos from marvel characters of yesteryear rumors have already been swirling about sir patrick stewart reprising his role as professor charles xavier but what about sir ian mckellen as magneto hugh jackman as wolverine or even chris evans as johnny storm now this isn't to suggest they're going to be the official mcu versions of the fantastic four or the x-men because we know for a fact they have plans for both of those properties in the mcu as we move forward rather it could be a barrage of familiar faces and nostalgic nods intended to hammer home the point about all of these universes colliding as the multiverse begins to tear apart at the seams it would also neatly lay the groundwork for the metaphysical mess that doctor strange will inevitably have to mop up in the multiverse of madness alongside characters like wong scarlet witch and america chavez now obviously this presents a number of challenges from a licensing and legal perspective because while disney now owns fox which was previously a separate entity that held the rights for the x-men and the fantastic four properties sony maintains the rights for spider-man and they're able to make these movies in the mcu by working in tandem with disney and marvel studios through a profit-sharing agreement and that lets each other play in the other sandbox up to a specific point given that the film is co-produced by columbia pictures in marvel studios and released by sony disney might not want to unload all these high profile cameos in a movie that's already packed to the gills with returning fan favorites however with that said teasing the arrival of major marvel characters like that could be a fantastic way to show fans that doctor strange and the multiverse of madness will be required viewing even if they wind up being mere multiversal variants as rosie pointed out in her article using no way home as a vehicle to reintroduce these characters to the marvel cinematic universe and establish they exist in other universes could reduce the need for retreading origin stories in future phases of the mcu when we finally get those fantastic foreign x-men projects it will also provide a sense of scope for the multiverse as we know it and some potentially friendly and not so friendly faces that our heroes
