Doctor Strange, with the help of mystical allies both old and new, traverses the mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse to confront a mysterious new adversary.
During the final battle, America Chavez goes one on one with Scarlet Witch and continuously punches/slaps her with her multiversal punches, almost knocking her into a portal to hell.
There is constantly demons throughout the movie. Hell is briefly shown in the final battle when America Chavez makes a portal to Hell almost knocks Scarlet Witch into it.
Wanda 838 is possessed by Scarlet Witch, who takes control of her body and leaves her twin sons at home alone unattended with no explanation while they’re asleep.
Also, America Chavez’s origin story begins from being (unintentionally) abandoned by her parents.
Essentially, yes. Wanda was abused by Agatha Harkness in WandaVision, and antagonized by her in that series. Here in this movie, we see Wanda taking on the role that Agatha had in WandaVision as an antagonist, mirroring this concept.
No, but currently DDD doesn’t have this trigger on the list, so I’ll put a warning here: there is a brief scene where an illusion is placed. A character falls for it but eventually sees through the charade and the illusion is also stripped away.
Not specifically/prolonged, but could have similar imagery [spoiler] as Billy & Tommy are frightened of Wanda who shouts/is seen fighting America in front of them at the end of the film. This is minor & Wanda quickly changes from this, but could be seen in this similar vein.
Wanda 838 is kind of abused by Scarlet Witch in a sense in this movie and sort of has that kind of relationship with Scarlet Witch. At the end, she forgives Scarlet Witch for what she did to her, and promises her that her kids will be loved with her.

CGI wasp that startles America [flashback scene in her memory]. For other bugs (my main worry is maggots) there are none in this movie. [Spoiler] I was worried when they mentioned zombies & burying his body but as far as I could tell, there were none.
At the beginning, Strange is only able to defeat Gargantos after using a lamppost to stab Gargantos right in the eye and mutilate his eyeball out of its socket.
After the attack on Kamar-Taj, Scarlet Witch escapes the mirror dimension through a reflection on a gong. She must’ve cut herself and injured herself through the glasses, because she comes out of the reflection in a distorted body, covered in wounds and broken bones. She re adjusts her body and unbreaks her bones and heals herself very quickly.
Later on, Scarlet Witch removes Black Bolt’s mouth causing him to accidentally explode his own head, but you can see his eyeballs get blown up a bit and blood leak from his eyes, as well as a noticeably large dent in his brain. Seconds later, she disfigures Reed Richards and dismembers his body into noodles before popping his head.
In the same battle, Scarlet Witch uses Captain Carter’s shield to dismember her and slice Captain Carter in half. For about only a half second, you can briefly see Captain Carter’s body flop in two in the background.
It is magic/very CGI, but at one point, arms are severed from a creature and used by Strange with magic. I think this is in the first major fight in New York but am uncertain.
During the beginning, battle scene, during Christine’s wedding, Strange mutates the big monster’s eye VERY graphically. The blood gushing, and the eye socket is shown separately from the body, and everything. For a CGI monster, it was egregiously graphic.
More brutal than any prior MCU movie but nothing on the level of Deadpool or Daredevil. A giant monster has its eye torn out of its head. A character’s head pops, another character is sliced in half but this is mostly obscured, only their reaction is seen.
As soon as the movie opens, Defender Strange is almost instantly killed off by a demon. His body remains on screen for a while, buried later on, and then brought back from the dead for the final sequence.
A little bit in, Strange and Wong kill another demon by removing its eyeball graphically.
Scarlet Witch arrives at Kamar-Taj and murders a lot of sorcerers attempting to fortify and protect Kamar-Taj.
A sorceress, at no fault of Scarlet Witch’s, also dies after stabbing the Darkhold, which kills her instantly, in attempt to stop Scarlet Witch.
Later on, Scarlet Witch arrives at the Illuminati’s facility in the body of her Earth-838 self, and brutally murders each member of the Illuminati. In the order of Mr. Fantastic, Black Bolt, Captain Carter, Captain Marvel, and Professor X.
After a duel, Strange kills and impales Sinister Strange.
After the end of the final battle, Scarlet Witch atones for her actions by sacrificing herself to destroy all darkholds in every universe by killing herself with it. She uses her powers to levitate Mount Wundagore and then drop it to crush her under the rubble.
Yes; at the end of the film, Scarlet Witch dies by sacrifice using her powers to force Mount Wundagore to collapse on herself and crush her presumably to death. It is later confirmed that “shes gone,” after she promises to destroy all dark holds in every universe in the event of her death, and it is successfully accomplished.
During a flashback, America revisits her first time using her powers, when she accidentally sent her parents off to some other universe, in which she believes to have killed them. Later on, when dealing with the Illuminati, Richard Reed confronts Wanda and claims to have children too, and tells her that he understands her, which leads Wanda to ask if his kids’ mother is still alive, after Reed replies yes, she says “Good. At least they’ll still have someone else to raise them”, before she rips Reed apart and kills him.
Wanda’s goal throughout the film is to kidnap America and kill her, and use her powers to see her children again. At the end of the film, Wanda is successful in this, and holds America hostage and bound by her powers at the Scarlet Witch temple.
After being told that what you see in dreams is just your other variants in other universes, Wong recalls having a dream about running from a clown whilst naked, but there is no clown shown on screen, or mentioned beyond that.
There are Multiple Jumpscares in this film including characters appearing from knowhere or monsters flying towards the screen this is mostly accompanied by a loud scare choird however the jumpscares are fairly predictable and while scary you can mostly prepare yourself them
Repeats throughout the movie & is a main theme. [Spoiler] Wanda possesses alternate versions of herself to chase down Strange & co. Strange also possesses his corpse in a different universe (zombie-type effect). A lot of these include unnatural/uncanny movement, scenes of the possession taking place/ending & is frequent throughout the movie.
Vomit in movies is so UNNECESSARY especially in a Marvel movie. A huge thank you to the amazing people who take one for the team and report back for other emetophobes.
As well as above discussion of vomit/spitting, there is a minor moment of spit where [redacted for spoiler] spits during a fight scene in a fleeting moment. This is a quick moment & after Wanda asks her something to the effect of “aren’t you tired of this?” (can’t remember exact wording sorry)
The Darkhold is destroyed by a sorceress who sacrifies herself trying to stop Scarlet Witch from dreamwalking, leaving Scarlet Witch extremely distressed afterwards.
[SPOILER](copied from someone else) A character commits suicide to ensure no one can access something again- it is worth noting this character has been struggling with mental health throughout the film, and I found this ending to be very disturbing.
The entire movie is about jumping between alternate realities, which sometimes involves the characters' bodies being briefly made of different material. The characters also spend some time in the Mirror Dimension, which allows them to physically move, distort, duplicate, etc. everything around them. Lastly, there's a scene where Wanda takes the place of herself in another universe; a photo of her moves so she's always facing the camera as it passes by, then Wanda makes direct eye contact with the camera for a 4th wall break. It's all really trippy (moreso than the 1st movie), but still only triggers mild depersonalization-derealization for me.

This doesn’t explicitly count, but not sure where else to put this - at the end, there is a moment where Strange is overwhelmed by the sounds & sights of the city in a manner that resembled sensory overload (clutches his head/seems overwhelmed as things are dizzy & sounds are blurry) - this could also mirror panic attacks but it is a pretty minor scene.
Might not be 100%, but while there were flashing lights/strobe effects, these mostly came from the magic & powers rather than a scene like in Spider-man: No Way Home or Incredibles 2 where the entire scene was flashing. Might be misremembering but as someone with light sensitivity, this surprisingly was an okay one.
Less explicitly shakey cam in the way it might be in a found footage movie/the camera literally shaking, but more stylised movements seeming to mirror motion sickness/vertigo that had a similar effect
Yes; there is even a scene that shows America Chavez being watched through a weird shaky cam that is supposed to be Scarlet Witch’s vision, as she is trying to locate America.
There is no miscarriage or pregnancy in the film, but FYI for anyone dealing with trauma related to infertility, this film does play into the trope of demonising childless women. Wanda is tormented and desperate because she cannot have a family - the children she wants only exist in alternate universes in the multiverse. Her desperation drives her to do horrible things.
There is a scene where a character is cursed to hit themselves in the face over and over again. It is portrayed as something to laugh about. As a person with a tic disorder with this involuntary movement this was deeply offensive to me
No but I'd argue there's lesbian erasure, America Chavez is a lesbian in the comics but her sexuality is only barely hinted at through minor design details with the only queer scene being like 10 seconds of her two moms. It feels like they kept the parents lesbian but not America because they could easily cut the former's scene from some releases (they ultimately didn't, though). A few people find Wanda problematic for being both mentally ill and violent as well as being whitewashed from the original comic character who was Jewish and Romani.
Yes - majority is CGI, but like the other comment says, is probably the most explicitly gory in the MCU so far. [Spoiler for specific moments] Early in the film Strange has a bloody leg wound which the camera lingers on for a few seconds. While CGI, the monster in the New York fight is stabbed through the eye in a quite gruesome way. Many deaths/corpses shown throughout the fighting with some blood. Blood shown on Wanda in a similar way to Carrie from the horror film (mostly dried/in her hair and covering some of her face). Doctor Strange’s corpse/zombie reanimated might be seen as gory to some as well.
