Something similar to what happened with the premiere of Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings, which was also vetoed due to the comments of its protagonist against the Chinese government.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness next May 5 (in Latin America) “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness” opens in theaters, the long-awaited Marvel film and the second solo film of the character played by Benedict Cumberbatch and, in addition, the fifth of the so-called "Phase Four" of the MCU.
One of the great attractions of this new installment is the appearance of the Scarlet Witch as the great villain of the story, in addition to the expectation generated by the use of the multiverse and the possible parallel realities that are unleashed from it. Something that we started seeing in the acclaimed “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, released in December 2021.
If you are one of those who are looking forward to this movie but the information behind it has you a bit confused, this article is for you. Here's all the data you need to know about "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness" and the Marvel Universe that revolves around it.
Let's start by reading what the synopsis tells us: “In “Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness”, the MCU unlocks the Multiverse and pushes its limits further than ever before. Journey into the unknown with Doctor Strange, who, with the help of mystical allies old and new, traverses mind-boggling and dangerous alternate realities to confront a mysterious new adversary."
The film will be released next Thursday, May 5, although it will have a preview on Wednesday, May 4.
The plot of "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness" is set after the events seen in "Spider-Man: No Way Home," so it's important to watch this movie if you haven't already.
What happened in "Spider-Man: No Way Home"? Without any intention of spoiling you, it must be said that it was in this film that the opening of the multiverse began, of which now, in "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness", we will see its consequences.
Let us remember that Peter Parker, concerned that his identity has been revealed to the world, asks Doctor Strange to alter reality so that everyone forgets his great secret. He agrees but while they are doing the spell, something goes out of control and what would be a "simple change" generates an alteration in the parallel realities. It is for this reason that we see characters like Electro, Doctor Octopus; Green Goblin; Sandman (man of sand) and the Lizard as well as the expected Spiderman of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.
In these previews, because there are several, we saw that in addition to WandaVision, Professor Charles Xavier, founder and leader of the X-Men, will appear in this sequel and will be played by the remembered Patrick Stewart, the same actor who gave this character in the Marvel saga in the early 2000s.
And taking into account that at the premiere of the wall-crawling film at the end of last year, the fall of web pages was reported, as well as the saturation and collapse in the process of digital ticket purchase, since there were millions of users who were looking for get tickets for the opening day, presumably the same will happen with the sequel to the Marvel sorcerer, hence it is advisable to go directly to the branches of your favorite cinema.
On January 17, a Reddit user published what is apparently the leaked script of the film, detailing scenes from the film, and highlighting the multiple cameos that could happen. The appearance of Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier in the film had been speculated for months, although the latest rumors suggest that the actor will play a variant of the character, being the incarnation of the version of the animated series of 'X-Men' of the 90s.
This leak supports past rumors such as the appearance of Captain Carter played by Hayley Atwell, a character seen in What If?, the variant of Tom Cruise's Iron Man, or Captain Marvel by Tenoyah Parris (characters that have become the center of debate due to the confusion generated by the Marvel Studios spots). On the contrary, new characters have been added, such as Emily Blunt's Invisible Woman, along with John Krasinski's Mr. Fantastic, actors noted by fans as the 'dream-cast' of the fantastic quartet, as well as a variant of Black Bolt played again by Anson Mount who was seen in the series Inhumans (2017).
Inhumans was a series that did not have the best audience or the best reviews, having only a score of 11% by Rotten Tomatoes, being the Marvel television series with the worst approval rating. If the rumor is true, it would mean that Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, is taking into account all existing Marvel-themed series, even more so knowing that in recent days the official Marvel page published that the events of the Defenders series , seen on Netflix, are part of the MCU canon, so seeing characters from Agents of Shield or Marvel's Runaways again would only be a matter of time.
