More movies need to be different and hopefullyDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessis just the start. It was a great idea toget Sam Raimion board who knows how to film disturbing content. Of the characters that die in the movie, both good and bad, here are the wildest. There will be spoilers.
8Earth-838 Doctor Strange
The Earth-838 version of Doctor Strange seemed like a decent guy. They built statues of him in his world for defeating Thanos. While this is true, he also had to use the Darkhold to get the job done. This means he knew at some point he would become corrupted by the book.
That’s why he was resigned to the fact that his fellow Illuminati members had to kill him. The person that finished off Doctor Strange was Black Bolt by whispering, “I’m sorry.” That is a brutalquote in the movie. It’s hard to know if being turned into dust by words would hurt or not but it was still wild all the same.
7Sara
Sara was one of the sorcerers fighting Wanda at theKamar-Taj. She is the one that plunges the dagger into the Darkhold, thus destroyingWanda’s grasp on reality. This was both a good and bad thing.
On the good side, Sara temporarily halted Wanda’s progress. On the bad side, Wanda found another route anyway. Sara also dies in this scene by turning into stone and eventually dust. It’s not a violent death in the movie but the idea of turning to stone is horrific.
6Professor X
One of the most exciting moments ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesswas getting to see Professor X in an MCU movie. That was big for fans ofthe other movies. It wasn’t the full team ofX-Men, but it was a start. Unfortunately, Professor X got a tragic death.

He was trying to help his reality’s version of Wanda escape from Scarlet Witch’s mind prison. In the process, Scarlet Witch sneaks up on Professor X and snaps his neck thus killing him in real life. It could have been worse. She could have ripped off his head completely.
5Shuma-Gorath
Shuma-Gorath is a creature that some fans may be more familiar with because of theMarvel vs Capcomseries. It was one ofthe playable charactersalbeit in a much smaller state. Shuma-Gorath was a villain so it can be hard to sympathize with a creature of this magnitude in a superhero film.
Still, it’s safe to say no one likes the idea of getting their eyeball violently popped out of their head followed by numerous cuts to the body. That’s something fans can relate to inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesseven if Shuma-Gorath had it coming.
4Darkhold Doctor Strange
There’s no official name for this version of Doctor Strange. He could be called Evil Doctor Strange or Darkhold Doctor Strange. Either way, it’s the version Earth-616 Strange fights in the broken reality. This evil doppelgänger gets the worst death of all the Doctor Strange men in the film.
He gets shot out of a window and then lands on his fence. It’s a death that is straight out ofMortal Kombat. It was a bit surprising that he didn’t jump off the fence and keep going. They could be saving thatfor a sequelencounter though.
3Captain Carter
This was not the first time that Peggy Carter was depicted asCaptain Americainstead of Steve Rogers in the MCU. TheWhat Ifcartoon showcased this possibility too. Whether Earth-838 is the same universe as theWhat Ifshow is unknown.

What is known is that Captain Carter kicks butt inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Unfortunately, she also gets sliced in halfby her shield. The movie doesn’t show her being dissected down the middle but it should have. More MCU movies need to be rated R.
2Reed Richards
Reed Richards popping up was more surprising than even Professor X. There have only been three big-budgetFantastic Fourmovies. All three were owned byFoxand since they were bought, fans have been waiting to see Richards and the rest of the gang appear in the MCU.
This might not have been what fans had in mind though. Did they wish Richards would be stretched out and turned into bits of rubber by Scarlet Witch? The answer is probably not. Imagine being cut into pieces like string cheese and how that must feel.
1Black Bolt
Black Bolt deals a massive blow to Earth-838 Strange and gets the worst death inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. He is the first of the Illuminati to go during the fight with the Scarlet Witch. She removes his mouth. In a panic, Black Bolt whispers in his head. The speech reflects on him and explodes his brain in the process.
There is not a single death more graphic in the film than this. If Captain Carter was shown being cut in two with her organs spilling out then maybe she’d win. As of right now the honor, or more dishonor, goes to Black Bolt.
