The new trailer for Doctor Strange 2 has fans who aren’t knee-deep in plot leaks excitedly wondering if this is our first glance at the Illuminati – a group that, in the comics, basically operates in a similar way to the real Illuminati – er, theoretically real (WINK WINK). They’re a bunch of hyper-intelligent superheroes who make decisions on massive conflicts wherein the world’s safety is in the balance. While they aren’t usually meant as a judge ‘n jury type of team like, say, the TVA, they are nonetheless the most likely group in the trailer. However, we don’t actually know exactly who all is on the team – so let’s take a look at both the all-but-confirmed and likely members. Obviously the one we have to start with is Professor X, since that is 100% Patrick Stewart’s bald noggin and luxurious voice in the trailer. If it’s not I’ll pull a Herzog and eat my own shoe. In the comics he’s a part of the Illuminati from the get-go, and among other things helps to turn Marvel Boy away from his more villainous predilections. A scene I love, by the way, is when Reed Richards is explaining the original Captain Marvel to Noh-Varr through an old memory presented through Xavier’s psychic abilities. Top notch stuff right there. Of course the important bit here is that this would be the official introduction of the X-Men and mutants in general to the MCU… unless of course, you know, this is all a trick and Marvel is playing us Subscribe: Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:43 Professor X 1:40 Tony Stark / Superior Iron Man 4:13 Reed Richards 4:35 Defender Strange 5:14 Baron Mordo 5:36 Namor 7:06 Black Panther 8:06 Black Bolt Check out Screen Rant’s official TikTok! @screenrant Our Social Media: Our Website: Written by: Michael Keene Narrated by: Michael Keene Edited by: Michael Keene For copyright matters please contact us at: legal@
