A new WandaVision fan theory suggests that the series has revealed the identity of the villain in Doctor Strange 2.
Several hints have already been dropped that the Marvel Cinematic Universe series will tie in with the forthcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Most of the interest from fans has been placed on Dottie, the neighbour played by Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Emma Caulfield Ford.
Hinting at a greater significance on the character, fans have honed in on one specific scene, where Agnes says that Dottie is “key to everything in this town”.
“The devil’s in the detail,” Dottie says during a key scene in the second episode of the series, with Agnes cryptically replying: “That’s not the only place he is.”
The resultant fan theory speculates that Dottie is an alter-ego of Doctor Strange star Clea, while another says it is in fact Mephisto.
“The theory floating around that Dottie from #WandaVision is either Mephisto or Clea is interesting asf,” one tweeter wrote. “I may have to go back and connect some dots.”
Another added: “It’s been pointed out many times, seems likely & I hope it’s true. If #WandaVision’s Dottie is, in fact, #Clea (#DoctorStrange’s disciple/lover/eventual ex-wife), then the casting is just too perfect.”

So if #WandaVision is supposed to go directly into Dr. Strange, WHAT IF Dottie is really Clea??? It would connect! pic.twitter.com/cvCixAivOB

If you’ve watched #WandaVision and keep up with #marvel then I believe the woman playing Dottie is Clea the sorceress from the dark dimension. Also known as Doctor strange wife. It has to be!

After initially being set for a May 7, 2021 release date, Doctor Strange 2 has now been pushed back again and will arrive in cinemas on March 25, 2022.
Reviewing WandaVision, NME wrote: “Marvel isn’t known for messing with its formula, but the big leap from cinema to streaming calls for a bold play – and WandaVision delivers.
“Nostalgia-phobes might soon grow bored of the ‘Honey, I’m home!’ shtick, but a slowly unwinding mystery should keep most of us hooked from week-to-week, even if beige wallpaper and oddly-patterned carpets aren’t your thing.”
