Another open up the Marvel multiverse for Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to explore.
In the months since Doctor Strange 2 was announced, though, the film's scope has continued to grow. Instead of just being a solo film for Doctor Strange, the movie will reportedly feature several different notable Marvel characters. New details about the film appear to indicate that America Chavez aka Miss America will be included in some fashion. She would a ing cast that is expected to feature returning characters Wong (Benedict Wong) and Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), and now another Marvel hero may also be ing the film.
According to a casting call obtained by The Illuminerdi, Marvel is looking to cast a ing male character for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness who is of Caribbean descent, with Haiti mentioned explicitly. Although the breakdown doesn't specifically name Jericho Drumm aka Brother Voodoo, the description matches Marvel's Haitian sorcerer. At this point, though, it is not confirmed that this character is Brother Voodoo, so there's a chance this could be a different character of Haitian descent.
In the comics, Brother Voodoo was first introduced in Strange Tales #169 in 1973. He begins training in sorcery, specifically Houngan, after the death of his brother, so his MCU story could follow a similar arc. His brother, Daniel Drumm, had a small role in Doctor Strange before being killed by Kaecilius. If Brother Voodoo is part of Doctor Strange 2, then he could prove to be a powerful ally to Strange against whatever threats they face across the multiverse. But, it's also worth mentioning the multiverse's prominence in the story could allow Voodoo to be from a different reality, perhaps even as an alternate Sorcerer Supreme.
Now that another character is rumored to be part of Doctor Strange 2, it will inevitably raise concerns the sequel is getting too crowded. Perhaps these additional characters could even be one of the reasons why Avengers: Age of Ultron. Whether Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness can balance a possibly larger cast could ultimately depend on who decides to direct it.
