Doctor Strange
There is a theory floating around the internet thatLoki , Scarlet Witch , andDoctor Strangeall accidentally created the multiverse together , simultaneously – here ’s how . Ever since the events ofLokiandWandaVision , plenty of memes have abound centering on an exasperated Doctor Strange possess to reconstruct the multiverse to order after the God of Mischief and the Chaos Magic - fueled beldame give way it . After all , he was the orchestrator of the 5 - year - long design to defeat Thanos ; why would n’t he also be the one to touch on this mint , too ?
The teaser trailer forSpider - Man : No Way Home , however , tossed all those jokes out the window when it break Doctor Strange also seem to be at least partially responsible for screwing up metre and space and head to the multiverse . Granted , there ’s a big discussion to be had as to whether Doctor Strange casting a dangerous spell simply because Peter Parker asked him to was in fibre or not , and it ’s wholly potential that Marvel thin the trailer in a shoddy way , as it is wo nt to do . For now , however , it would seem Peter Parker ’s unfitness to stop talk during the complex casting mental process head to the patch luxate away from Strange ’s clasp and going awry , run to metre and space being warped .

That ’s lead a number of people to state the hypothesis that it was n’t the events of any one Marvel TV show or moving-picture show , nor any one character reference that is responsible for breaking matter and creating the multiverse . Rather , it ’s the combination of Loki ( really Sylvie ) , Scarlet Witch , and Doctor Strange each break a slice of it at the precise same fourth dimension ( or at least in penny-pinching proximity ) that make a wrench powerful enough to warp the blank space - time continuum to the extent of make an full multiverse . It take in sense . Though Wanda on her own seemed capable enough of create that much force , nothing she did on her own seemed to be enough to whole break up the universe . Sylvie and Loki sure as shooting did some damage , but it ’s not necessarily clear how apace the disjoined timelines would have jump noticing and spoil over into one another ; He Who Remains ' story seemed to indicate it took a while the first fourth dimension . And it ’s backbreaking to bottom how Doctor Strange ’s memory - wiping charm , powerful as it is , would also be enough on its own to produce a dire scenario where space and time are completely tangled .
The timing lines up , too : The events ofWandaVisionbegan about three weeks after the end ofAvengers : Endgamewhen Wanda unleash her tremendous bang of grief - driven chaos illusion to make Westview . at the same time , theLokiseries began at the same time asEndgame ’s third enactment was unfolding , albeit in a unlike timeline . The main action ofLokitook place over only a few day , but Loki drop some time being train by the TVA before his first duty assignment , potentially a few hebdomad , meaning the event of the Loki close , when Loki and Sylvie destroy He Who remain ' cautiously - grade Sacred Timeline , would arguably happen right around the time of Scarlet Witch puke her spell .
Spider - Man : No Way Homeis the one MCU project that does n’t fit neatly into that timeline . Spider - Man : Far From Hometakes place roughly eight months after the events ofEndgame , andNo means Homeafter that . That leave two possibility : Loki and Sylvie and Scarlet Witch started the wipeout , essentially setting up all the multiverse rowlock for Doctor Strange ’s charm to knock down . Or the multiverse was already in chaos without Doctor Strange ’s cognisance , and it was only his spell buy the farm so wrong that alarm him to the problem .
However , it seems awfully unlike Strange to be asleep in the roulette wheel like that . After all , inThor : Ragnarokhe reassert that he monitor every single threat that could hail to Earth , including Loki . It does n’t make good sense that he ’d not notice the very concept of time and space bump apart for months . The most lucid explanation is that the actions of Sylvie , Loki , andScarlet Witchstarted the multiverse , butDoctor Strange ’s spell festinate the repercussions , blowing the doors wide subject and allowing other realities to poke .
