Christine doesn't want to be the reason why Strange can't face his fears and move forward like she has, nor does she want to hold him back from being the hero the multiverse needs. In every universe, Stephen Strange loves Christine Palmer.
Accepting it would never work between them, Palmer moved on and eventually met Charlie, who she fell in love with and married. Palmer invited Strange to the wedding, and at the reception, it was disrupted by Gargantos attacking.
The mid-credits sequence introduces Clea (Charlize Theron), one of the most important characters from the Doctor Strange mythos, who seeks Strange's help in dealing with a universal incursion.
The character made her live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022), portrayed by Xochitl Gomez.
In the comics, Clea is Doctor Strange's great love so to speak. The alternate Christine Palmer, as she says goodbye to our Doctor Strange, tells him to face his fears, to be willing to love someone else and to face that fear connecting with someone else.”
In the Doctor Strange original, Benedict Wong played the sorcerer. He went on to star as the character in several MCU films including the recent 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'.
Actor Xochitl Gomez plays America Chavez in the Doctor Strange 2. In the film the character Chavez is a teenager from another planet who has the ability to move between dimensions by punching open gateways. The film also acknowledges that Chavez is gay, as in the comics.
Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, Clea first appeared in the Doctor Strange feature in Strange Tales #126 (November 1964). She is a sorceress, the disciple, lover, and eventual wife of Doctor Stephen Strange, and his successor as Sorcerer Supreme.
In Gillen and McKelvie's Young Avengers, America revealed that she made out with a boy, The Ultimate Nullifer, once, but it didn't stick. "It's always a shame when you end up as a damn stereotype," she says. "'Yeah I went with a boy on my first team, but I was just experimenting. '"
At the start of the film, we see Christine Palmer's wedding, and as she's marrying Charlie, we see Michael Waldron plays his best man. Waldron is a neat cameo because he is the writer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Doctor Strange is straight. In the comics, he was involved with various ladies including Clea, Morgana, Martha, Victoria Bentley, and more. In the MCU his main love interest is Christine Palmer but after the latter was married, it seems like Clea is geared to be his next love interest.
"Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" includes a 12-second scene where a lesbian character refers to her "two moms."
In the movie, Xochitl Gomez plays America Chavez, a gay character in the movie, as well as the source material. This is likely the reason for the ban of the movie in Saudi Arabia. Fans cannot purchase advanced tickets anymore in Saudi Arabia, as well as Kuwait and Qatar.
Her link to the Dark Dimension and the Faltine gives her a slight edge over the Scarlet Witch, who was not born an extraterrestrial or extradimensional being, and Agatha, who is only able to live a long life by absorbing the energy of the other witches in her coven.
Clea Strange makes it perfectly clear that she is more powerful than Doctor Strange ever was, especially as Sorcerer Supreme of two worlds.
She is the sorcerer ruler of the Dark Dimension and one of the Faltine, a race of beings whose existence was born out of pure magical energy. A longtime ally and partner of Doctor Strange, Clea, a superhuman spell caster and illusionist, is easily one of the most important women in his life.
Nawaf Alsabhan, Saudi Arabia's general supervisor of cinema classification, told AFP (via The Guardian) that Disney is unwilling to remove “barely 12 seconds” from the film in which Gomez's character refers to her “two moms.” “It's just her talking about her moms, because she has two moms,” Alsabhan said.
AP Entertainment on Twitter: "Baby steps: Rachel McAdams was still pregnant when #DoctorStrange started filming without her.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is rated PG-13, which means that some material is not suitable for children under the age of 13. For example, the movie might contain violence, brief language and/or nudity.
In contrast, Nexus Events are circumstances that must happen and cannot be changed under any condition. One could think of America as being an unstoppable force and Nexus Events as immovable objects. As a Nexus Being, America Chavez is interdimensionally unique, meaning she has no variants.
Doctor Strange, according to the comics, would be pansexual.
Clea was born the daughter of Prince Orini, legitimate heir to the rule of the Dark Dimension, and Umar, sister to the then-current ruler Dormammu.
After the wait was finally over, though—and half a dozen other characters actually did cameo in Doctor Strange 2—Loki and friends were nowhere to be found.
Although she is seen in a romantic relationship with Ultimate Nullifier during her first appearance with the Teen Brigade in Vengeance #1, America later confirmed, despite not wanting to be a cliché, she was merely experimenting with Ultimate Nullifier and now identifies herself as a lesbian.
