What if it's not Strange that we see in the trailer, but Mephisto? That could explain why Strange seems off. I mean, that's one fan theory that I've heard.
As long as the Communist Party in China has its laundry list of taboo subjects and imagery (The Devil is one...) we can all put to bed any theory that hangs on Mephisto being a central character in anything MCU on the big screen.What if it's not Strange that we see in the trailer, but Mephisto?

100% that's not the real Dr. Strange. 100%.
It's so obvious, his mannerism, his look. Benedict is so subtle with his performance, but if you look, really look, you can see that it's not the same Dr. Strange as before. It's also not in line with his character in the MCU. Strange is many things, but incompetent, irresponsible, selfish he is not. He would gladly sacrifice anyone for the greater good. And he wouldn't hesitate once. So this is 100% not the real Strange we know and love. It's a red herring, and an obvious one imo.
Too many red flags for me to blindly believe in this being real. Trailers love doing this, nothing is as obvious as it looks. I think there are moments in this trailer where we see the real Strange and the fake one.
yes, everyone's quick to jump on the Mephito band wagon, but him being a variant seems like the most likely scenario... surprised this isn't a more popular theoryIt could be Strange up until he casts the spell, and then when there's that glitch and Peter asks "what just happened" that's when he's been transported to another universe or Strange has been replaced by a variant.
Doctor Strange is always a plus. His spell conjuring looked cool.
I think he'll be a pretty good supporting character.
Having said that DS really f'ed it up. It's so reckless and dumb of him to attempt a spell of that magnitude, bringing so many things into play, the dangers of the multiverse... you would think someone with his overall experience wouldn't attempt such a thing. And the way SM messes it up by talking while he's doing the spell and he still continues on, it's a bit of a stretch for DS to through with it but otherwise we wouldn't have this particular film.
So...and this is more Wong related than Strange related, but here goes...
When Peter first goes to the Sanctum, it's stated that Strange is no longer the Sorcerer Supreme since he died in the blip and that title has passed to Wong. My question there is that even though there was never any concrete evidence as to what happened to Wong in the snap, I guess everyone just assumed that he died because he didn't show up until the end of Endgame. Which begs the question, was he too busy engaging in underground fighting to help out the Avengers during the time heist? Both Bruce and Tony knew Wong, so if he was alive why didn't they recruit him to help them out?
I also found it odd that Wong introduced himself to Peter even though they were standing like 10 feet apart from each other at Tony's funeral, but that's just me nitpicking.
