When it comes to the former, which sees her joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Clea, “It was such a nice surprise."«You know, they reached out to me and it all kind of happened pretty fast,” Theron says, explaining that she “felt so invited into the creative process and what this can be.”She adds, “So, all of that was really exciting.” In the sequel, Clea appears at the end of the film to recruit Dr.

Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to help her deal with an “incursion” in the multiverse. When it comes to Theron playing Clea, a prominent character from Dr.

Strange’s world, screenwriter Michael Waldron previously told ET her casting “is super exciting.” “Clea is one of Dr. Strange’s most famous counterparts in the comics,” he continued, explaining that she, “in a lot of ways, is equal as a sorcerer and a ‘will they, won’t they’ love interest throughout the ages and she’s Dormammu’s niece.” And what ultimately makes Clea a great addition to the franchise is that “she becomes a great foil of his and they can go onto some really fun adventures together in the future,” Waldron said, teasing the potential for more of Clea and Dr.
