The first Funko Pop collection for the much-awaited Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has been revealed. Shared by Marvel Studios on their social media channels, the 10 new figures represent some of the main characters from the upcoming flick. With the film’s release still a few months away, fans are only able to pre-order the items for the time being, with the official release planned for June.
As is now the case for any upcoming project in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Funko Pop figures have started a conversation about what Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will unveil. Fans are already discussing the different variants of Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange, and their interesting outfits, along with the subtle introduction of a new character named Sara.
The first batch of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness figures includes the 1,000th Marvel Funko. The Doctor Strange figure will be available in a limited interdimensional blue chase variant, which Marvel.com is referring to as the “1 in 6 chase figure.” Apart from that, fans can also get their hands on Supreme Strange and Defender Strange, whereas a Doctor Strange keychain will also be available. But, this isn’t the end of the line, as the next wave of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Funko figures could feature more variants.
Apart from the MCU's favorite sorcerer, the Funko Pop collection also includes some other main characters from the franchise. Other figures include Wong, America Chavez, Christine Palmer, Master Mordo, and new characters including Rintrah and Sara. Joining them is the Scarlet Witch as she makes her official crossover into the Multiverse. She is seen sporting her official costume, which was first revealed in the season finale of WandaVision.
While most characters have already made an appearance in the multiple Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailers, Sara is someone that fans haven’t met yet. Her figure is seen wearing an outfit quite similar to the ones worn by the students of the mystic arts, but she has never appeared in the MCU prior to this. The figure’s reveal has left fans wondering who Sara is, and whether she is Sara Wolfe or Sara Krowler from the Marvel Comics. They will likely have to wait till the film’s release to know for sure.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness premieres in theaters on May 6, 2022.
