In a recent tweet, Charlize Theron shared a 15-second compilation of clips and images that were taken during the filming of her surprise scene in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” Some of the clips appear to show her getting scanned in a room full of cameras while wearing her costume from the film. Other images, meanwhile, just show Theron sitting in a makeup chair.
In other words, the clips don’t reveal anything new about Theron’s role in the “Doctor Strange” sequel, and Benedict Cumberbatch is noticeably absent from the compilation. Fortunately, their brief interaction in “Multiverse of Madness” does suggest that Marvel fans can likely look forward to seeing Cumberbatch and Theron reunite on-screen together in the MCU at some point in the future.
Additionally, while her character’s name is never revealed in the “Multiverse of Madness” mid-credits scene, Theron did confirm on May 10 (via Twitter) that she is playing the MCU’s version of Clea. In the comics (via Marvel Database), Clea is Dormammu’s niece, but despite being related to one of his enemies, she gradually becomes one of Stephen Strange’s most unexpected allies. The pair eventually marry each other in the comics, and Clea even takes over as the Sorcerer Supreme after Stephen dies at one point.
Fans will, unfortunately, have to wait to see if Clea’s big-screen path ends up resembling the journey she’s taken in the comics, but based on her recent social media posts, it’s clear that Theron is very excited about her MCU role.
