During the scene where Strange finds himself in Earth-838 where the Illuminati reign, there's a statue at their facility which
This statue is Xena from Xena: Warrior Princess (1995). A TV show that Sam Raimi developed and was executive producer on. It does resemble Xena, and the Sam Raimi connection makes sense, out-of-universe.
Actress Xochitl Gomez made her MCU debut in Multiverse of Madness as the Marvel comics hero, America Chavez.
The first poster features Benedict Cumberbatch's Stephen Strange conjuring magic from all sides of the Multiverse, shattering realities with each glyph he activates. The other poster shows the darker side of the Sorcerer Supreme and includes a vision of Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) at the center of a fire circle.
The team includes Professor X (Patrick Stewart), Mister Fantastic (John Krasinski), Black Bolt (Anson Mount), Captain Carter (Hayley Atwell), Captain Marvel (Lashana Lynch), and Sorcerer Supreme Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor).
The cuts amount to “barely 12 seconds” in which a lesbian character, America Chavez, played by the actor Xochitl Gomez, refers to her “two moms”, according to Nawaf Alsabhan, Saudi Arabia's general supervisor of cinema classification.

An alternate version of America Chavez appears in the Marvel Universe. In a possible future, an adult America Chavez is a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. and has taken on the mantle of Captain America.
First introduced in Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta's 2011 limited series Vengeance, America Chavez initially went by the superhero name Miss America, originally the name of a Golden Age Marvel Comics hero.
With the ability to create cross-dimensional portals, superhuman strength, and flight, America Chavez comes to believe she and her powers originate from the Utopian Parallel, a realm outside conventional time and space formed from the “unbinding of magic” by the multidimensional messiah Demiurge.
Kieron Gillen, the writer behind Chavez's original backstory, once stated she is from a singular dimension outside the Multiverse and therefore has no counterparts.
Clea appears in a mid-credits scene of the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, portrayed by Charlize Theron.
It's none other than Charlize Theron, playing Clea, the daughter of Dormammu, the big, fiery villain from the first Doctor Strange movie. Or at least, she's the daughter of Dormammu in the comics. In the movies?
Charlize Theron opened up about her cameo as Clea in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and what's next for her MCU character.
She was raised by two superhero 'Amerimoms,' Elena and Amalia Chavez, who heroically sacrificed themselves to protect their dimension. Hopping around the Marvel Multiverse, America eventually made her way to the main Marvel universe on Earth 616 and decided to stick around as the hero Ms. America.
In the comics, Doctor Strange's third eye is an organic manifestation of the Eye of Agamotto. It represents the wisdom of the sorcerer Agamotto and his fellow Vishanti, allowing Strange to see his enemies' true intentions and break magical illusions.
America Chavez didn't have a great grasp on her powers in Doctor Strange 2, but how she fared against Wanda at the end of the movie proved that she is indeed a force to be reckoned with. Her unique nature makes her capable of manifesting energy that's at least strong enough to challenge Scarlet Witch.
She also appeared several times in Kate Bishop's solo “Hawkeye” series. Chavez's most well known relationship is with Kate Bishop, who became Hawkeye after Clint Barton. In the main universe, the two have never actually dated, but constantly flirt and are best friends to the end.
America Chavez is easily one of the most powerful beings in the entire Marvel Multiverse, with Loki describing her as "a nearly indestructible woman who can throw tanks at the Moon." She can tap into the ambient energy of creation to boost her own physical powers, and consequently, she's been able to trade blows with ...
So, like, sure, maybe in the MCU the Demiurge gave her her powers. But you know what's far more likely? That she's a mutant. If you're familiar with X-Men origin stories, almost every mutant has the same experience.
Mount reprises the role as Black Bolt in the 2022 feature film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, depicted as a member of the Illuminati from the alternate universe labelled Earth-838. Black Bolt is depicted with a tuning fork attached to his mask.
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.
Sofia Strange was a sorceress living in New Orleans with her nanny, Aunt Vesper. One day, she attempted to unravel the case of a missing girl and a ghost named The Whisperer.
In the first trailer for Marvel Studios' Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, one of the more intriguing moments involved a scene at a wedding in which Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams) is seen walking down the aisle, while Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) watches in bittersweet fashion.
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.
