Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessdirected by the filmmaker of the original Spider-Man trilogy, Sam Raimi, is the latest entry in this nearly fifteen-year franchise not only serves as a sequel to the film Doctor Strange from 2016, but also from the miniseries of WandaVision from 2021, where Elizabeth Olsen reprises her role as the sorceress Wanda Maximoff / the Scarlet Witch.
Even with all of its applause-worthy cameos and wacky wackiness, there’s still one other moment that stands out from the rest. After Wanda sends Stephen Strange from Earth-616 and Christine Palmer from Earth-838 to an alternate version of New York that has been completely ravaged beyond repair, the former enters a ghastly-looking mansion where he finds himself. with Strange from this universe, who promptly asks 616 Strange to tell him something that only he would know.
Then Earth-616’s Doctor Strange talks about how he had a sister named Donna who, at a young age, died after falling into a frozen lake they were both playing in, to which Strange from this universe simply replies: “We don’t talk about it. Shall we?”
“Doctor Strange 2” and his relationship with Stephen’s sister
Donna Strange’s death was almost in the first “Doctor Strange” tape.
While the movie doesn’t dwell on this theme for long, it does add another layer of tragedy to both versions of Strange (and presumably many others in the multiverse), as this traumatic event likely inspired them to dedicate their lives to saving Strange. others, whether that meant saving them through surgery or sorcery. However, for more casual MCU fans, this moment is also one big deep cut.
While Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness marks the first time Donna’s existence is acknowledged in the MCU, her death almost featured in the first Doctor Strange movie according to director Scott Derrickson, who remained on the sequel as an executive producer.
Speaking to Collider’s Steve Weintraub in 2016, Derrickson said that Donna’s death was one of the few scenes he cut from the finished film: “We shot that scene. I loved that scene, it was a great scene. It just didn’t fit the movie.” it didn’t work.”
Donna Strange’s death was almost in the first “Doctor Strange” tape.
Derrickson explained that he hopes this scene will appear as a DVD/Blu-ray extra, but unfortunately that never happened. Still, it’s nice to know that at least one of Derrickson’s ideas carried over to the sequel, even if he’s not as involved this time around.
What’s more, Donna in this scene would have been played by Haunting of Hill House star Lulu Wilson, who would have been ten years old when principal photography for the first Doctor Strange wrapped on April 3, 2016. Therefore, if Doctor Strange 3 was to bring Donna back in any way, it would either be recast to fit Derrickson’s original vision for the character, or aged out so that Wilson could reprise the role.

Donna Strange’s death was almost in the first “Doctor Strange” tape.
AmericanPost.News reports that as for Donna in the comics, she made her first official appearance in 1992’s Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme #45.
Donna and Stephen grew up with their younger brother Victor on a small farm in Nebraska. When Donna was nine years old, she hurt herself roller skating, but luckily her older brother was there to help her, fueling her interest in medicine.
Sadly, the young Doctor Strange was unable to save Donna eight years later when she suffered a cramp while swimming in a lake, an incident he ultimately blamed on himself.
Though the circumstances are slightly different, Donna’s death in both the movies and comics is certainly a major factor in Strange’s decision to become a surgeon and dedicate his life to saving others.
