In the cartoon strip , the Illuminati is a secret guild found by some of Marvel ’s most powerful and influential fictional character : Professor X , Tony Stark , Namor , Black Bolt , Reed Richards , Stephen Strange , and Norman Osborn — among others who would eventually participate such as T’Challa . The group , which is far from a benevolent and heroic brass , often seek to mold and control major world events in whatever way its members think it is the right one . However , inMultiverse of Madness , it seems like the Illuminatiwill be some sort of multiversal council who will face Doctor Strange and Wanda on their irresponsible actions towards the material of reality . If that is truly the eccentric , the MCU ’s edition of the Illuminati will be much close to something likeWhat If … ? ’s " Guardians of The Multiverse " than to a group of Marvel ’s most egocentric characters . This alteration would work as a route to adapt a well - known conception from the comics but in a way that better lawsuit the already established MCU overall storyline .
Beyond this pernicious shift in purpose and motivation , a comic book exact Illuminati adaptation would be difficult due to the current status of of the essence character : Tony Stark is idle , Reed Richardshas yet to be introduced , and the only Norman Osborn audiences have run into in the MCU so far is the already deliver variant of Dafoe . On top of that , this new take on the Illuminati can prevent the MCU from identify some of its most darling character reference in a storyline based on deceptions and problematic action . This would make both the group as a whole , as well as its item-by-item members , much more relatable for consultation .
By changing the Illuminati from a controversial secret society to protectors of the Multiverse , Doctor Strange ’s newest adventure ameliorate something from the comics while also set up an excitable young force in the MCU . Although the group ’s perfect line - up is still a mystery story , the MCU ’s Illuminatiwill certainly bring together big names not only from the current franchise but from Marvel ’s past as a whole . The real motives behind this new Illuminati will no doubt be full explained whenDoctor Strange in theMultiverse of Madnesshits the dramaturgy in May . However , it ’s already clear that the flick ’s subtle changes will make a handsome deviation .
