A newDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesslicensed adult coloring pad and puzzle might have teased some details about the upcoming movie’s plot. The puzzle shows Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) fighting a giant squid monster in the middle of a city, which comic book fans will identify as interdimensional villain Shuma-Gorath. However, Doctor Strange is not alone, and the puzzle might give us the first image ofXochitl Gomez’s Miss America.
Created bySteve EnglehartandFrank Brunner, Shuma-Gorath showed up for the first time in 1973’sMarvel Premiere #10. The creature is an ancient force of chaos that cannot be truly destroyed, only banished to its original dimension. In the comic books, Shuma-Gorath even ruled humanity during Earth’s pre-history. With the Multiverse opening up, it’s not hard to imagine Doctor Strange will have to face some dangerous creatures coming from alternate realities.
As for Doctor Strange’s allies, the image of the puzzle in the pre-orderBooktopia pageis not clear enough to identify the three supporting heroes featured there. However, it’s easy to imagine that the man with glowing hands is Wong (Benedict Wong), the figure in red with open arms is the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), and the person with a jeans jacket is Miss America. Miss America is known for her ability to punch portals to other dimensions, a power that’ll surely come in hand when the heroes begin to explore the Multiverse of Madness.
