Marvel movies have become the pinnacle for American culture and have ultimately evolved into a cult-like niche while producing a multi-billion dollar list of major successful blockbuster movies. Marvel’s latest film is the highly anticipated adventure/fantasy film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and is debuting in early May.
In fact, the official movie trailer for Doctor Strange was just released on YouTube and offers up tons of drama, action, and adventure. So much so that it has millions of comic book and Marvel movie fans around the world left with tons of questions and predictions!
But how much does this latest movie match up with Stan Lee’s original famous comic books? We sat down with Marvel comic book and Marvel movie experts and hosts of the Super Serious 616 Podcast, Mike Kealy and Edward Nevraumont, to discuss the movie and how it all does, or doesn’t, tie into the original Marvel comic books from the 1960s.
Break it down for us Normies — Did a lot of the Doctor Strange plots and themes from comic books make it into this latest film? Is this film the perfect primer if you’re looking to explore Marvel comic books?
Doctor Stephen Strange first appeared in Strange Tales #110 in 1963. His was originally a stand-alone “mystic” story tacked on at the end of a Human Torch comic to fill space. He wasn’t even mentioned on the cover. It wasn’t until a year later that Stan Lee began incorporating the character into the broader Marvel Universe.
While we don’t know the entire plot of this movie just yet, it seems that the film is very loosely based on the original Dr. Strange story. In fact, it is more based on Wanda’s story of trying to get back to her children. It seems the Marvel Comic Universe has taken that story, changed it considerably, and then made Dr. Strange the protagonist.
The trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness just came out — there is so much to unpack, but what about it is really interesting to you? Tell us why you’re pumped about this film?
Mike: A few things about this film:
(1) It was supposed to come out BEFORE Spider-Man: No Way Home, which debuted in 2021. So all the multiverse stuff from the Spider-Man film was supposed to follow from the “Madness” that will start in this movie. Because the order of the films was switched, the plot of both movies had to be changed to “make sense.” It will be interesting to see how much of the original plot is still showing through in this film.
(2) Even more so than Spider-Man, this film is set up to do a lot of fanservice. The fact that the older Spider-Man appeared in No Way Home was the worst-kept secret in Hollywood, but at least they pretended they were trying to keep it a secret. This time they put Patrick Steward (as Charles Xavier) in the trailer. Given that they are not saving Professor X from the Fox X-Men movies, the question is, “what surprises ARE they saving for us?”
Iron Man died in Avengers right?? There are rumors of Tom Cruise as Iron Man, as well as a variety of actors who could play him, including Reed Richards. Lou Lou Ferigno as the Hulk? It seems unlikely, but who knows what Easter Eggs they drop?
What superpowers does Doctor Strange have and some speculate that he is one of the best superheroes in the entire Marvel universe — What do you think?
ED: “Magic” is his superpower. Magic is a bit of a catch-all in the comics. It allows Doctor Strange to do just about anything the writers need him to do. Meanwhile, if the writers need to NOT have him able to do something, they can do that too. There is always an excuse as to why magic does not work the way you want it to.
Mike: Remember Doctor Strange was not originally created as a Superhero at all. He existed in his own corner of the Marvel Universe doing his own thing battling other sorcerers and extra-dimensional demons. While other heroes were battling villains in New York, almost all of Doctor Strange’s adventures were hidden from view.
How did you guys originally get started to produce The Super Serious 616 Podcast?
We’re college friends and after loving Marvel comic books and the films for quite some time, we decided to start a podcast to discuss them, but in a way, no one ever has before. Instead of talking about the issues directly or interviewing writers and artists, we wanted to try something a little more unique.
The premise of the show is that the two of us live IN the Marvel Universe in the early 1960s. Our show is a “commentary on the news of the day” – specifically the “super and supernatural news of the day.”
We read each issue and take notes on what the public would know about the situation. In each podcast episode of The Super Serious 616, we theorize about what is happening that is not public, and we explore the ramifications of what we do know about the wider world.
What is the impact of Monstro destroying lower Manhattan? What does it mean for the residents when Dr. Doom moves the Baxter Building into space? How do Stark Corp. shareholders feel about having Iron Man on the payroll? What impact is the appearance of Thor having on modern religions?
Generally (with some exceptions) each episode covers a single Marvel Comic. We started at the very beginning with Fantastic Four #1 (Nov 1961) and issue by issue, worked our way forward through each Marvel comic book. We produce two short (~10 minutes) episodes per week. We have published more than 150 episodes and are now almost at the end of 1964 in “comic time.”
Some people were worried that we would run out of new things to talk about, but that certainly hasn’t happened yet! One recent episode was all about what we know (in the real world) pertaining to how time travel would work (in the fictional world).

Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet Move In After Three Years of Dating
Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are officially cohabitating after nearly three years of dating, marking a massive milestone for the high-profile pair.
The beauty mogul and the Marty Supreme actor have reportedly decided to move in together as their relationship reaches a new level of permanence. The news comes on the heels of Chalamet’s most public display of affection yet: a heartfelt declaration of love during his acceptance speech at the 2026 Critics Choice Awards.
An Emotional Night at the Critics Choice Awards
On Sunday, January 4, Chalamet took home the Best Actor trophy for his portrayal of Marty Mauser in the 1950s drama Marty Supreme. While the couple skipped the red carpet, they sat side-by-side throughout the ceremony. Upon his win, cameras captured the two sharing a sweet kiss before Chalamet took the stage.
“Lastly, I’ll just say thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn’t do this without you,” Chalamet gushed from the podium. A visibly emotional Jenner was seen in the audience smiling and mouthing “I love you” back to the actor.

The Move to Los Angeles
The declaration of love appears to be the public confirmation of a private shift in their living situation. A source close to the couple shared that Chalamet has relocated most of his belongings to Jenner’s Los Angeles estate to be near her and her two children, Stormi and Aire.
“Timothée has become a staple in the household,” an insider told Page Six. “Kylie loves his work ethic, and he has built a wonderful foundation with her kids. They are finally at a place where they want to be together under one roof full-time.”
Navigating Fame and Family
Despite their global status, the duo has notoriously kept their romance low-key since first being linked at a Beyoncé concert in 2023. However, 2025 and early 2026 have seen them become more comfortable in the spotlight, appearing together at the Palm Springs International Film Festival just one night prior to the Critics Choice Awards.
The move signifies a serious commitment for the Kardashians star, who has been focused on her massive business empire and raising her children since her split from Travis Scott. For Chalamet, the move coincides with a career peak, with Marty Supreme currently holding strong at the box office.

Kay and Tay Dudley Family Update 2026: Meet Baby Sutton Blair and Big Sister Ellie
American social media sensation Tay Dudley and his wife Kay have joyfully welcomed a new bundle of joy into their lives.Tay and Kay welcomed their…
Social media sensations Kay and Tay Dudley have significantly expanded their family and online presence since the birth of their first child together in late 2023. As of January 2026, the couple has transitioned into a “two under two” lifestyle, having welcomed their second daughter together this past autumn.
A Growing Family: Welcoming Sutton Blair
On October 7, 2025, Tay and Kay welcomed their second daughter together, Sutton Blair Dudley. Affectionately nicknamed “Bug,” Sutton arrived at 4:29 p.m., weighing 7 lbs. 15 oz. The couple exclusively shared the news with PEOPLE, describing the transition as a “bittersweet” end to their pregnancy journey but a thrilling start to their new adventure as a family of five.
The name Sutton carries a special meaning as a family name from Tay’s side, while Blair is a nod to the place where Kay lived when she was born. Fans were quick to notice the contrast to their first daughter’s name, as “Sutton” and “Blair” lean toward a more classic aesthetic compared to the gender-neutral “Elliott Mae.”
Elliott Mae (“Bean”) and the Big Sister Role
Their first daughter together, Elliott Mae Dudley, turned two in November 2025. Now widely known to their millions of followers as “Ellie” or “Bean,” she has become a central figure in their content. To celebrate her second birthday, the couple threw an elaborate Bluey-themed party, complete with an “Adopt a Floppy” station.
Ellie has reportedly taken to her big sister duties with enthusiasm, appearing in numerous TikToks alongside baby Sutton. The couple continues to use the “Bean” nickname, which even inspired a specialized jewelry collection launched by Kay in 2024.
The Dudley Family Dynamic
With the arrival of Sutton, the Dudleys are now a family of five:
- Kinsley (14): Kay’s oldest daughter from a previous relationship. While Kay and Tay increasingly include her in their broader family descriptions, they continue to respect her privacy (and the wishes of her biological father) by keeping her face blurred or off-camera in most viral content.
- Elliott Mae (2): Their first child together, born in 2023.
- Sutton Blair (Infant): Their newest addition, born in October 2025.
From “Cringe Couple” to Parental Icons
Since their initial virality in 2022, @kayandtayofficial has grown to over 20 million followers across platforms. While they still lean into their “cringe couple” moniker with playful pranks and Tay’s “POV” filming style, their content has shifted heavily toward the realities of parenting “two under two.”
In late 2025, they shared their first official holiday card as a family of five, featuring all three girls in matching plaid outfits. Despite the challenges of managing a newborn and a toddler, the couple maintains that their success is rooted in the same consistency and authenticity that first launched them to stardom.
This video provides an exclusive interview where Kay and Tay discuss the transition from two to three children and the story behind baby Sutton’s nickname.

Social media sensation Zoe LaVerne left her fans shocked when she revealed during a live session that both of her parents are siblings.
However, Zoe quickly clarified that despite the familial connection, she does not consider it incestuous.
She explained, “So my mom and my dad, because like my dad and my mom Debbie, since they are siblings, it sounds incest but it’s not. It’s really confusing to talk about.”
As expected, Zoe’s live confession spread like wildfire across various online platforms, with tea pages, such as teatoktalk, sharing the video on their pages.
The moment viewers caught wind of the video, they wasted no time expressing their opinions, with one fan commenting, “girl, it’s definitely incest.”
Another exclaimed, “tf she means it’s not incest when they’re literally siblings who had children together.” LaVerne’s revelation seemed to have divided her audience, with some questioning her explanation.
However, amidst the wave of criticism, some fans stepped forward to defend LaVerne and shed more light on the situation.

One supporter highlighted, “Y’all, her mom is her aunt who adopted her. She didn’t explain it very well, but let’s not be weird about this.”
Another fan chimed in, saying, “Guys, she talked about it a long time ago. Her mother died because of alcohol abuse, as I remember, and her auntie adopted her and took care of her, and Zoe calls her mom.”
The following comment read, “Her “mom” is her aunt that had to take custody of her, not her biological mother. Her wording was very weird and an explanation on her part would’ve been good…”
A look at Zoe LaVerne’s family
LaVerne’s adoptive parents’ names are Debbie Pemberton, originally her aunt, and Douglas Wright. Additionally, she has two brothers: her biological brother, Eric Pemberton, and her stepbrother, Cameron.
LaVerne cherishes her relationships with her family, taking the time to express gratitude to them, especially to her mother.

On January 23, 2023, she wished her mother a Happy Birthday by posting several pictures on her Instagram and calling her “best friend.”
She expressed, “happy birthday to my best friend. i love you so so much mom. it breaks my heart that you don’t know it’s your birthday but all that matter is you’re here with us. i love you.”
Similarly, on May 14, 2023, on the occasion of Mother’s Day, the social media star took to Instagram to share a lovely picture with her mother, Debbie and wrote a heartfelt message.
She wrote, “happy mother’s day to this woman right here. i love you more than words can ever explain. thank you for everything you have ever done for me. you deserve the world.”
On May 17, 2021, LaVerne wished her father a Happy Birthday by posting a picture of her and her father and expressing that she loves her very much.
Zoe LaVerne’s biological parents were drug addicts
During a live session, LaVerne opened up about her difficult past and revealed that her biological parents were drug addicts.
She expressed her frustration at the video being leaked without her consent, as she had chosen not to share this part of her story yet.
LaVerne emphasized that her mom, Debbie, who adopted her at birth, is her true mother, even though she may not be her birth mother.
Her biological mother, Melinda, and her biological father, Billy, struggled with addiction, and Melinda even considered having abortions.
However, Debbie fought for LaVerne’s custody and won, providing her with a loving home and support.
She expressed her gratitude for her adoptive parents, as they have been there for her since the beginning and have played a significant role in shaping who she is today.
LaVerne also shared the heartbreaking news that her biological mother was murdered when she was only three years old, while her father died of a drug overdose when she was around six or seven.
Despite not knowing her biological parents personally, she acknowledged that her adoptive parents, Debbie and Douglas, are her true parents, as they provided her with love, care, and stable life.
She praised Debbie for fighting to have her as her own and expressed her love and appreciation for the life she has been given.
