<big>'''WARNING: In addition to all previous filmsworks involving Strange, this film also involves [[Late Arrival Spoiler]]s for ''[[WandaVision]]''. Spoilers for these will be unmarked. Read on at your own risk!'''</big>
 
An unknown time after ''[[Spider-Man: No Way Home]]'', Strange and Wong (Benedict Wong) rescue America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), a girl with the ability to travel through the multiverse, from a demon that wants her power. An odd detail on the demon leads to Strange seeking the aid of Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). What he learns leads to him travelling the multiverse hoping to thwart a grave threat.
Line 20:
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Unless most of the others, the death of {{spoiler|Captain Carter}} is depicted this way. We are shown her {{spoiler|shield}} sent flying back at her, her face changing expression, followed by the now-bloodstained {{spoiler|shield}}, but not the state of the corpse.
* [[Heroic Suicide]]: {{spoiler|Maximoff, finally come to a [[Heel Realization]], brings down Mount Wundagore, destroying all copies of the Darkhold across the multiverse and apparently killing herself in the process.}}
* [[Hope Spot]]:
* [[Hope Spot]]:* {{spoiler|Xavier gets into Maximoff's head while she's dream-walking in the 838 her's body and attempts to get the 838 her back in control. Then the 616 her tracks him down in the mindscape and kills him.}}
** {{spoiler|Chavez, Strange and 838 Palmer manage to reach the Book of Vishanti through the waypoint 838 Strange left. Then Maximoff catches up and destroys it.}}
* [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice]]: {{spoiler|Both Defender and Darkhold-corrupted Strange are killed by impalement, Defender by a demon chasing him and Chavez and Darkhold-corrupted after 616 Strange blasts him out a window onto a fence.}}
* [[Mama Bear]]: How far is it justifiable to go for your children? This question in relation to Maximoff and her boys drives the film.
* [[More Expendable Than You]]: {{spoiler|A survivor of Maximoff's attack on Kamar-Taj destroys the Darkhold instead of letting Wong do it, dying in the process.}}
* [[Mythology Gag]]:
** Strange now has spells that summon creatures to do his bidding, which is portrayed similarly to the Strange Supreme variant from ''[[What If...? (TV series)|What If...?]]'' A Darkhold-corrupted Strange variant has a [[Third Eye]] also similar to what Strange Supreme eventually developed, and is found in a destroyed universe too.
** When {{spoiler|Professor X}} first appears, a rearrangement of {{spoiler|the ''[[X-Men (TV series)|X-Men cartoon]]'''s theme plays. This Xavier variant, while still played by [[Patrick Stewart]], also has clothing and a hoverchair resembling said cartoon's depiction.}}
* [[Power Nullifier]]: {{spoiler|Earth-838 has special handcuffs that prevent Strange from using magic.}}
