Rintrah the Magical Minotaur is rumored to appear inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. It has already been teased that the highly anticipated sequel was going to get weird, but this latest rumor will likely have Marvel Comics fans pretty excited for even more weirdness. Currently, Marvel Cinematic Universe fans are watchingWandaVisionon Disney+ to see how the series connects to the upcomingDoctor Strangesequel. There have been rumors that Dr. Stephen Strange will show up on the series, but that has yet to be confirmed.
According to a newDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesscasting report, Adam Hugill (1917) has jumped on board. So far, the sequel stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, and Rachel McAdams. Xochitl Gomez will play America Chavez in the sequel, while it is believed that Hugill will be taking on the role of Rintrah the Magical Minotaur. In the comics the character is an alien minotaur whopossesses magic powers.
Rintrah first showed up in Doctor Strange (Vol. 2) #80 in 1986. He is from the extradimensional planet of R’Vaal and resembles “a green-skinned minotaur of Greek myth.” In the comics, Rintrah’s magical potential found him in the presence of Enitharmon the Weaver, who isanother-dimensional sorcerer, where his training began. Rintrah first met Doctor Strange when he brought the Cloak of Levitation to Enitharmon for repairs after it had been torn. From there, the two characters shared a pretty massive storyline that found Strange almost killed and taking over Rintrah’s body at one point, where they shared consciousness to inhabit one body at the same time.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesscould be the movie thathelps blow the MCU into a whole other dimension. Benedict Cumberbatch will make an appearance inSpider-Man 3, which is also shaping up to be pretty weird. Tom Holland says that he still finds the story baffling, though it seems that the multiverse is going to connect everything from here on out. That has yet to be officially confirmed, but it appears thatWandaVision,Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, andSpider-Man 3are all seriously interconnected.
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige previously teased what MCU fans can expect with the upcoming sequel. “The title of the next Doctor Strange movie isDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, so that is our biggest clue that that movie willembrace the Multiverse and the madnesstherein, very directly,” Feige said. “There are, as we always like to do, connections before and after that, which will remain to be seen and discovered. But it seemed appropriate that it would be Doctor Strange that takes that on in the most direct way.” The Rintrah the Magical Minotaur inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessnews was first reported byThe Direct.
