After the multiverse was unleashed in Spider-Man: No Way Home, the film saw the return of many characters from previous Marvel films, one being Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man. After playing a prominent role in that film, it’s very possible that Maguire could return again as the web-slinger in the Doctor Strange sequel, a film that, like its title suggests, will delve deeper into the multiverse as the sorcerer tries to restore it.

Now, those rumors of Maguire’s return could be true. Mariana Torres, the actress who provides the Portuguese voice for Wanda, posted a story on her social media with a message that read, “Good things are coming.” But where things get interesting is another actor, Manolo Rey, is also in the story. Rey happens to provide Maguire’s Spider-Man voice in Portuguese. This recent story indicates that Maguire could very likely appear in the sequel, and with the two voice actors together in the same room, they could possibly be acting out a scene from Doctor Strange 2 involving Wanda and Maguire’s Spider-Man.
On top of that, it would make sense for Maguire to return, as director Sam Raimi (who directed Maguire in his Spider-Man trilogy) is helming Doctor Strange 2. Now, none of this is confirmed of course. Many characters have been rumored to make a cameo in the film. After Disney acquired Fox, everyone from Reed Richards from The Fantastic Four to Charles Xavier / Professor X from the X-Men series have been rumored to make an appearance. And with a film like Doctor Strange 2, which has been hyped up ever since the first film’s release back in 2016, Marvel Studios will make sure nothing surfaces until the sequel’s release in May.
With so much uncertainty surrounding the film, what is known is that Doctor Strange 2 will head down a much darker route. Elizabeth Olsen, who will return to play Wanda Maximoff following her appearance in Disney Plus’ WandaVision series, did confirm that Doctor Strange 2 almost resembles a horror film at times. While Olsen’s comments are not too surprising, considering Raimi is directing the film, it’ll be interesting to see how dark of a film the MCU is willing to push for.
The sequel also stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Benedict Wong as Wong, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo, Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez, and Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer. Loki head writer Michael Waldron, who was praised for his work on the Marvel Studios series, was hired to rewrite the script along with newcomer Jade Bartlett.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to release in theatres on May 6, 2022.
