Doctor Strange 2 Illuminati cameo

DOCTOR STRANGE 2 (Multiverse of Madness ) (2021)

New Updates (Wanda vision and doctor strange 2)

(ILLUMINATI, Quick Silver, Wiccan and Speed)

First revealed by writer Brian Michael Bendis in the pages of New Avengers in 2005, Marvel's Illuminati have no association with the historic one save for borrowing the name. The group's history is related in the New Avengers: Illuminati miniseries via flashbacks set during classic storylines from the previous fifty years (or, in Marvel Time, the last decade) of Marvel continuity. They form during a meeting called in secret by Tony Stark and attended by Prince Namor (The Sub-Mariner), King T'Challa (Black Panther), Doctor Strange, Professor Charles Xavier, Reed Richards and Black Bolt shortly after the events of The Kree-Skrull War, which saw The Avengers fighting to prevent Earth from being caught in the crossfire of an intergalactic war between the two alien races. According to rumours the illuminati make his appearance in doctor strange 2 in multiverse of madness

Stark, having reasoned that the situation could have been better resolved had disparate heroes and teams shared their individual experiences with the Kree and Skrulls prior to the War, proposes that this group - together representing the collective leadership of established Marvel superheroes - agree to meet periodically, compare notes and help each other out in secret. Essentially, it's a ready-made explanation for why heroes from different factions and corners of the universe seem to run into one another in the right place at the right time. Initially, the only member who refuses to join is T'Challa, who warns that trying to manage the world in secret is going to blow up in their faces (spoiler: it does).

MARVEL ILLUMINATI

The story (the original, at least, though "The Illuminati did it!" remains a favorite mythology-shortcut to this day) then tracks The Illuminati's actions as the "real story" behind major events like Secret Wars and the backstory of The Runaways, answering loose-thread questions from Marvel history and patching continuity holes. It also lays seeds for later stories, the most prominent being an attempt by The Illuminati to collect and destroy The Infinity Stones; which doesn't work and leads to them being divided among the membership to be protected/hidden (this also does not work).

Oh, incidentally: Black Bolt has actually been a Skrull imposter almost this entire time, as have multiple associates of each member's respective team/group/family. That's going to be important later. In any case, the Illuminati "history" comes to an end in the then-present, as part of the setup and lead-in for the Civil War event in 2006.

WANDA VISION (2020)

Speed and Wiccan

Recently some rumors about the upcoming series have begun to surface online, including some casting news. It seems that production is looking to cast babies to appear on the show. Based on what we know thus far, it is safe to assume these will be Wanda and Vision’s children.

The babies are rumored to be part of Wanda’s vision, who will age rapidly. It has also been reported that at the end of the show, the children will become real and join the MCU. Given Wanda and Vision’s history in the comics, it seems that these children will be Wiccan and Speed, two members of the Young Avengers.

Quicksilver in Wanda vision

Quicksilver was shockingly killed shortly after his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While their appearance was briefly teased in the post-credits scene for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, his debut alongside Scarlet Witch was only brief as he was killed off by the end of Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

There were rumors that the character would come back in Avengers: Endgame or that he would appear somewhere else in the future of the franchise — but maybe this audition tape is teasing a different character entirely.

While we won't find out for a while, as Marvel Studios is keeping everything regarding WandaVision tightly under wraps, we won't have to wait too long as the series is set to debut later this year.
