Evil Doctor Strange was first introduced in the Marvel animated series 'What if', where it was shown he apparently consumed numerous beings from different universes and gained mystical potencies that are as evil as it gets. After discovering her immense potential at the end of the Marvel Disney+ series 'WandaVision,' Elizabeth Olsen reprises her role as Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlet Witch. She now meets paths with Doctor Strange, who is attempting to maintain some kind of order in the midst of the multiverse's chaos.
