Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness was the second step into the madness we will soon be witnessing in the MCU. From mind-bending realities to its consequences, the movie proved how careful the characters of MCU might have to be when it comes to the multiverse. Taking a dive into the film, the fans were looking forward to the future of the multiverse with the mid & post-credits scene of Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, believing there is more to this story.
Taking a look at the same, the mid-credits scene of Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness introduces a new character to the MCU, while the post-credits scene turns out to be a joke. One scene leaves the fans questioning the future adventures of Doctor Strange. Then there is another scene loved by the Sam Raimi fans and at the same time, probably hated by the regular MCU fans. So let’s find out what we’re in for.
Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Mid-Credits Scene Explained
The post-credit scene of Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness probably picks up sometime in the future after the events of the film. Much like the ending, we see Stephen Strange taking a regular walk on the streets of New York. Until someone calls him by his name and a woman appears sporting purple attire.
The woman, played by Charlize Theron, lets Strange know about the incursions caused by his travel into the multiverse. She asks him if he is ready to fix this. Strange answers the question by opening his third eye, which states that the event takes place sometime in the future. Strange might have spent time trying to excel in this new power.
Earlier in the movie, Doctor Strange met a darker version of himself in a universe destroyed because of this version’s incursions. The darker version crossed the limits when it comes to using the Darkhold. All of this for Christine. But in the same process, he ended up destroying his own universe. He also had a similar third eye on his forehead.
Even Stephen Strange used the Darkhold in order to dream-walk into his own universe to save America Chavez. This might be the reason Stephen Strange has the power of a third eye from now on. The woman and Doctor Strange walk into another universe that looks more or less like Dormammu’s Dark Dimension to close the scene.

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness Post-Credits Scene Explained
The post-credits scene of Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness is nothing but a simple joke. It may not mean much to the Marvel fans but definitely for the Sam Raimi and Evil Dead fans. Bruce Campbell has a special relationship with Sam Raimi as he has appeared in a number of movies directed by him. Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness was no exception as he appeared in the film as Pizza Poppa from Earth-838.
Earlier in the movie, when Doctor Strange and America Chavez traveled to Earth-838. There they came across a Pizza vendor owning a shop where he sells Pizza Balls. When America stole one of his bowls, he confronted them. The man even opted to attack Strange with Mustard. But before he could do that, Strange decided to cast a spell on him.
The spell sees Pizza Poppa punching himself. Strange claims he may go on to do that for weeks before the spell wears off. The post-credit scene probably takes us three weeks into the future of Earth-838. The spell on Pizza Poppa wears out, and he finally screams, “It’s over”.
