X-Men Nightcrawler actor Kodi Smit-McPhee sets the record straight on whether he is appearing in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
BY RYAN NORTHRUPPUBLISHED 19 HOURS AGO
X-Men Nightcrawler actor Kodi Smit-McPhee addresses if his version of the character will show up in the highly anticipated Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. First played by Alan Cumming in X2: X-Men United, Smit-McPhee took over the role in 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse. The actor would reprise his role as Nightcrawler for a brief cameo in Deadpool 2 and for a more substantial role in X-Men: Dark Phoenix.
With the official opening of the multiverse in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to take the concept to a new level entirely. The first trailer for the upcoming sequel has already teased what is to come for Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange, which includes a host of otherworldly villains and an evil version of Strange himself. Many fans have also drawn attention to what sounds like the voice of Patrick Stewart's Professor X in the trailer, prompting many to speculate whether the Sam Raimi film will finally see the X-Men make their MCU debut.

10 Major Changes The MCU Made From Marvel Comics
RELATED:Doctor Strange 2 Theory Would Explain The Origin Of MCU Vampires
In a new interview with Variety, Smit-McPhee weighs in on whether his version of Nightcrawler will be making an appearance in Doctor Strange 2, definitively saying that, no, he is not involved in the film in any way. Having worked with Cumberbatch on Netflix's The Power of the Dog, Smit-McPhee explains that he tried to pry answers from Cumberbatch about the film, but, much to his frustration, had no such luck. Check out Smit-McPhee's full comment below:
Of course, while Smit-McPhee denies that he has any involvement in the upcoming film, it's worth noting that Andrew Garfield similarly denied that he was in Spider-Man: No Way Home, which of course turned out to be false. Furthermore, although he has not flat-out denied that he is in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Stewart has cast doubt on whether it is his voice that can be heard in the trailer. That is to say, if Smit-McPhee is in the movie (or is contracted for future appearances as Nightcrawler), it's likely that he wouldn't be admitting it.
That being said, the story Smit-McPhee shares about his time on the set of The Power of the Dog with Cumberbatch does certainly sound true. Both X-Men: Apocalypse and X-Men: Dark Phoenix were not very well received and it wouldn't be surprising if Marvel opted not to bring back certain characters from those movies. Furthermore, Stewart's Professor X is the legacy version of the character, suggesting that, if other X-Men characters are to return in the upcoming Doctor Strange sequel, they will more likely be the legacy versions of those characters that proved most popular with fans. While it doesn't sound like Smit-McPhee is in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (or any future MCU projects), audiences will have to wait and see to be sure. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is scheduled to release on May 4.
America Chavez's Powers In Doctor Strange 2 Explained
Chavez makes her MCU debut on May 6.

Producer Richie Palmer explains America Chavez's powers in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and why the sequel is her MCU debut.

Producer Richie Palmer explains America Chavez's powers in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Chavez was created by Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta and made her comic book debut in 2011's limited series Vengeance before going on to appear in 2013's Young Avengers and 2015's Ultimates and finally getting her own solo series with 2016's America. The character has the ability to create portals to the multiverse in the shape of a star while also having superhuman strength, speed, flight and time travel in the comics.
Xochitl Gomez is bringing America to life in her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness alongside the returns of Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular hero, Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo, Benedict Wong as Sorcerer Supreme Wong, Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer, Michael Stuhlbarg as Nicodemus West and Patrick Stewart as a version of Professor X. The MCU sequel picks up after the events of WandaVision, Loki season 1 and Spider-Man: No Way Home as Strange grapples with breaking the doors open to the multiverse and accidentally unleashes a powerful mystery adversary. As the film gears up for its theatrical release, those behind Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness are offering new insight for what's to come from the sequel.
In the latest issue of D23 Magazine (via CBR), Marvel producer Richie Palmer opened up about America Chavez in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Palmer opened up about why the sequel was the right time for her to make her MCU debut, believing that her multiversal powers would fit best in the film. See what Palmer shared below:
Before being set for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, America Chavez was set to make her MCU debut in Spider-Man: No Way Home, though the former film's development delays saw the webslinging threequel rewritten to take place prior to it and saw her role removed. While the Tom Holland-led film did explore the dangers of the multiverse, it did already proved to be a nearly overstuffed affair as it built the bridge between the MCU and Sony's previous Spider-Man franchises by bringing back both its lead stars and villain actors, which would've made America's introduction difficult to fit in. As Palmer notes, the Doctor Strange sequel's primary focus on the consequences of multiverse tampering does serve as a better introduction for the character and her powers.
It is interesting to note that Palmer describes America Chavez's powers in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as being maddening for its titular hero and Wong, a dynamic already teased in a recent image in which the two are seemingly confronting her in an alleyway. With Chavez set up as an ally and new heroine for the MCU, she becomes the latest member of the Young Avengers comics team to make her debut in the franchise, with Wanda's kids Billy and Tommy having been introduced in WandaVision, Kate Bishop arriving in Hawkeye, Eli Bradley premiering in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Cassie Lang undergoing some form of a retcon in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Only time will tell what the future holds for America Chavez when Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits theaters on May 6.
Dr Strange is one of the most powerful Marvel characters and he basically interacts with everyone so it makes sense...

Man on man; might challenge for best marvel studios movie…
It's interesting how some fans are selective regarding what's Marvel and what's not. Marvel fans won't claim Hulk, Venom, or Morbius, but will fully embrace Spiderman.
What is it?
Lol.

I think there is logic to it.
If it isn't connected to the main MCU
They don't embrace it
And even Venom they put it in and then promptly took it out.
But now netflix marvel and ABC Marvel are officially connected so fans have/are embracing them too
Although to be fair most fans already did.
Hulk is directly connected to the MCU. He's a essential component. What you mentioned is absolutely not the case with that movie.
Not trying to stir up anything. Just an observation from someone who like most Marvel and DC movies, despite the production company.
I think because of these recent films and shows it can all be included. I'm fine with it (shrugs)

Abomination is in Shang Chi. This means the Hulk film is 100% a part of the MCU.
