A new synopsis for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness highlights the importance of Stephen Strange in a post-Avengers: Endgame world.
Marvel Japan posted the synopsis of the film, which arrives in May 2022 and continues the events of Spider-Man: No Homecoming. In the last film, Stephen performs a risky spell that tears the multiverse apart, with the fallout having him team up with Wong, Scarlet Witch and America Chavez. But they will also pit him against a mortal enemy: himself.

“The door to the multiverse, full of mystery and madness, opens.
Now that Iron Man and Captain America are gone after a fierce battle in Avengers: Endgame, the former surgeon, genius and strongest wizard of them all, Doctor Strange, must play an active role as a central figure in the Avengers.
However, using your magic to manipulate time and space at will with a forbidden spell that is considered the most dangerous of all, opened the doors to a mysterious madness called "Multiverse".
To restore a world where everything is changing, Strange seeks the help of his ally Wong, the Sorcerer Supreme, and the Scarlet Witch, the most powerful of the Avengers, Wanda.
But a terrible threat looms over humanity and the entire universe that can no longer hold its power. Even more surprising, the greatest threat in the universe looks exactly like Doctor Strange...
Director Sam Raimi, who expressed a unique worldview, will captivate the entire world with overwhelming scale and an unprecedented visual experience that will transcend time and space!”
The idea that Strange is the new Captain America or Iron Man is still not certain, but the synopsis makes it clear that he certainly is a high-ranking Avenger now that they're gone.
Of course, Homecoming revealed that Wong is actually the Sorcerer Supreme, while Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings showed the wizard giving orders alongside Bruce Banner and Captain Marvel.
What the synopsis confirms, however, is that the other Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailer will be the main threat in the film. It is unclear if he is the same character from What If???, but the concept appears to be similar. Strange will have to face at least one version of himself from the multiverse, and that won't be all he'll face.
The film's toy line features another Marvel villain, while the trailer shows the Avengers facing off against a tentacled being that could be the Shuma-Gorath from the comics. And, of course, Baron Mordo will be back looking to stop Stephen from constantly meddling with the universe - and the multiverse - with his magic.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits theaters on May 5, 2022.
