A new storyboard from the 2022 film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness showcases a whole new set of Illuminati members that Scarlet Witch would’ve faced off against.
The new art, which was made up of artist Soren Bendt, features a different version of the Illuminati than the one we saw in the film. Instead of Reed Richards (played by John Krasinski) and Black Bolt, the Early Art had an Iron Man-like version with Baldur the Brave in their place. Oadiah Stane used the Iron Man suit, while Baldur is an Norse god from Asgard, and an author of Thor.

While neither were in the film, a Iron Man variant and Baldur were heavily rumored to appear, and many rumors suggest that Tom Cruise would be set to play a Tony Stark movie variant. That didn’t happen, but judging by the early storyboards, there were plans for a completely different group for Wanda Maximoff to take down.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is now streaming onDisney+, sees the return of Benedict Cumberbatch as he becomes known for his role as Dr. Stephen Strange. This time, the Sorcerer Supreme is joined by Elizabeth Olsens Wanda Maximoff, who recently turned into the Scarlet Witch during the World Vision Finale.
The movie was directed by Sam Raimi (Spider-Mantrilogy) using a script written by Emmy winning scribe Michael Waldron (Loki). The film was created by Kevin Feige, CEO of Marvel Studios.
