The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Doctor Strange 2 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:trailer is here, and there's tons to talk about – including who might be forming the line-up of the MCU's versio𝔍n of the Illuminati. 

In Marvel comics, the Illuminati are a secret group of heroes formed to share intel anꩲd stop threats to the Marvel universe in their tracks. The roster originally included Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Namor, Reed Richards (AKA Mister Fantastic), Professor X, and Black Bolt, but the likes of Captain America, Black Panther, and Beast have also been part of the line-up. 

Stephen Strange is arrested for multiversal crimes in the trailer (most likely because of the events of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man: No Way Home), and it seems he's being brought before a tribunal of some kind. We then hear a very familiar voice – Patrick Stewart's. The actor appears to be back as Professor X, which could not only open the door for the X-Men, but also herald the arrival of the Iᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ဣᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚlluminati to the MCU.

Besides Charles Xavier, it's ne🥃ar impos൩sible to make out who is filling those seats, though it seems Chiwetel Ejiofor's Mordo can be seen walking to take his place. 

So who else could fo✅rm the Illuminati line-up in the MCU? Speculation has naturally been running rampant onlin♈e – and Namor and Reed Richards are two very popular contenders.

"Tell me this is the Illuminati!!! Xavier/Tony Stark (Tom Cruise)/Reed Richards (John Krasinski)/Dr Strange," wrote one Twitter user, with a picture of the moment. While Iron Man died in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers: Endgame, it's possible a Variant could return thro෴ugh the multiverse (though whether these castings prove true is a൲ mystery for now). 

"That's 2000's Reed Richards, it's gotta be," said another fan, with a zoomed-in look at one of the shadowy 🦩figures. 

"♌The illuminati cꦰonfirmed? I hope we see Professor X and maybe Reed Richards. Also a variant of Namor?" speculated. 

"Multiverse of Madneཧss has 6 seats for the Illuminati members. I hope we get to see Namor, Blackbolt and Mr.൲ Fantastic," said . 

"Looks like the MCU version of the Illuminati will be prote🅷ctors/dictators of the Multiverse? All variants maybe? Namor and Mister Fantastic MCU debut? Curious if they'll get Anson Mount to reprise Black Bolt from Inhumans," on Twitter – Mount played Black Bolt in the now-canceled Marvel TV show Inhumans. 

"If Strange is meeting the Illuminati here it 𝔉means that we might not only get Professor X but alsಌo an au Tony Stark, F4 introduction with Reed Richards and maybe even Namor," predicts . 

It remains to be seen w♈hether this really is the Illuminati arriving to the MCU, and if so, who might form the line-up. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness arrives this May 6.
