Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness spoilers follow.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, as the name implies, takes place across the multiverse, which is a good excuse for Marvel to expand on what we saw in What If...? and Spider-Man: No Way Home and chuck in a load of cameos.
Those cameos are getting spoiled below this picture, so beware.

During Strange's visit to one of these alternate dimensions, he meets the Illuminati. We knew about Patrick Stewart's Professor Xavier, but we also got Lashana Lynch's Captain Marvel, Hayley Atwell's Captain Britain, Anson Mount's Black Bolt, and John Krasinski's Mr Fantastic.
They don't last long in the film though, as Wanda rips them to shreds (quite literally, in Mr Fantastic's case) in one of the film's most memorable scenes. But it turns out that, even though they're fighting, the actors weren't in the same place.
When asked by Cinema Blend what it was like working with such big-name actors, Elizabeth Olsen said: "I've never met them! Movie magic!"

Vanity Fair asked Olsen a similar question, but specifically about Krasinski, and the actress channeled her inner Mariah Carey by stating: "I don't know him."
She said: "I’ve never met him… I’ve never met him. Never met him! I’ve never met that man. I’ve met his wife [Emily Blunt]."

It'll be interesting to see any behind-the-scenes breakdown of the Illuminati scenes, and if any of the cameo actors were in the same room as each other.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is out now in UK and US cinemas.
