For more than a decade, movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have taught us to stay in our seats when the credits roll — and not just pay tribute to the people involved in the making of the films.
In the early days of the MCU, its post-credits scenes would have been fun jokes or brief appearances by Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury planned to assemble the Avengers. Since then, Marvel’s post-credits scenes have evolved into truly unmissable subjects, providing crucial teases and storytelling details for upcoming films.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is no exception, featuring two post-credits sequences – one of which has major plot implications, while the other is a fun joke to reward fans for their patience. Let’s dig into them…
what happens in Doctor Strange mid credits scene?
It’s a bit of a shocking start to this scene, as the last thing the audience saw before the credits was Benedict Cumberbatch’s Strange, screaming in pain as a third eye appeared on his forehead – identical to what we saw earlier on the malevolent’s head. Sinister Strange variant. . This scene, however, begins with a normal-eyed Stephen walking the streets of New York wearing a very elegant scarf.

He is interrupted by the arrival on the street of a woman dressed in purple, played by none other than Charlize Theron. The character she is playing is Clea – in the comics, a future Sorceress Supreme and wife of Doctor Strange.
Clea doesn’t seem at all pleased with Strange, who definitely doesn’t recognize her. “You caused a raid, and we’re going to fix it,” she says. Raids is a concept we were introduced to by the Illuminati at the beginning of the movie. When two universes collide due to multiversal interference, it causes an incursion, which threatens the continued existence of both colliding universes.
Clea opens a portal to a very strange looking world and invites Strange in, as long as he’s not too scared to go along. He takes off his scarf – which turns out to be her cloak – and follows her, after giving us a glimpse of his newly sprouted third eye.

He ends up having a run-in with the heroes, who see him squirted in the face with mustard and bewitched to continually punch himself – a nice nod to Raimi devotees who remember Campbell’s Ash fighting violently with his own possessed hand. Evil Dead II. Strange jokes that the spell will eventually wear off.
That joke pays off in the end credits, which returns to Campbell’s character, as he’s still in the full flow of the star’s trademark antics. He finally stops punching himself and looks directly into the camera lens to yell, “It’s over.”
At least he avoided the temptation to cut it with a chainsaw this time.
