The end to Spidey's journey, for the time being, is signaled in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'sost credit scene that jumps straight into the sequel of 'Doctor Strange'. Set to release on May 6, 2022, Benedict Cumberbatch will reprise his role in 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ' and the teaser gives a hint of what to expect.

It appears all that timeline tampering, despite Wong's warning seems to have actually had dire repercussions for Strange, and he is forced to take the help of Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). The Scarlet Witch was last seen in Disney+'s miniseries, 'WandaVision' that was released in January 2021 and in the final moments of the show, was searching for her children across alternate universes. The remainder of the teaser shows the dark Doctor strange, his former Karl Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), and hero America Chavez along with a cyclops monster with a tentacle.

'Spider-Man: No Way Home' post-credits scene explained

The teaser provides a look at the villains in the MCU that we can expect to see in the future and in the sequel. The dark version is certainly Strange Supreme, a character fans will best remember from Marvel's animated short series, 'What If...?' The darker version is obsessed with reversing the death of a fellow surgeon back from is doctoring days and acquires his power from other mystical creatures. Ejiofor's Mondo was last seen in 'Doctor Strange' where he was upset and disgruntled about Strange and the Ancient One misusing the mystic arts.

He steals Jonathan Pangborn's powers in his mission to destroy the other sorcerers. His presence might see him tussle with Strange before perhaps becoming an ally again. America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) in her first MCU appearance doesn't do much in the trailer, but she's the latest entrant to the MCU after Photon. A closer look also reveals that the horror element that Marvel said would be incorporated is set in motion with the Strange sequel.

'Spider-Man: No Way Home' releases December 17 in the US.
