Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness end credits scenes explained

Introducing Charlize Theron as Clea

The mid-credits scene shows Doctor Strange walking down a street in New York City. He hears someone say, “Dr. Strange?” He turns to see a woman dressed in a purple superhero outfit (Charlize Theron) and says, “Can I help you?”

The woman says, “You caused an incursion, and we’re going to fix it.” She pulls out a blade that slices through reality to show the realm of Dormammu—who Dr. Strange fought at the end of the first Dr. Strange movie. “Unless you’re afraid,” she asks. Dr. Strange replies, “Not in the least,” as his third eye opens on his forehead.

The character played by Charlize Theron is Clea, Dormammu’s niece, and is also a love interest for Strange. (Wikipedia) In the comics, Clea and Strange defeat Dormammu, and eventually, Clea and Strange get married.

Who is that guy in the post-credit scene?

The guy punching himself due to Dr. Stranges’ spell is Bruce Campbell, a longtime friend of Sam Raimi who directed Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Raimi and Campbell go way back to the late 1970s when Campbell appeared in Sam Raimi’s short film Within the Woods. Years later, in the early 1990s, Sam Raimi and his brother Ivan wrote and directed Army of Darkness in which Bruce Campbell played the main character. Bruce Campbell has long been a fan favorite and has voiced many games and animations and had reoccurring roles in Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules.

Since then Sam Raimi habitually finds some small role for Bruce Campbell to play in each of his movies. Most famously Campbell was in the first three Spider-Man movies with Toby McQuire. In the first Spider-Man movie Campbell played the wrestling announcer who coined the name Spider-Man for the titular hero. Then in Spider-Man 2 Campbell returned as an usher. Finally, Campbell also appeared in Spider-Man 3 as a waiter who tried to assist Peter Parker’s attempted proposal to Mary Jane.

This is a great app. I wish more people would support it

This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!

Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
