The superhero movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness from 2022 which is the second installment of the movie Doctor Strange is based on the comic book character. As it broadens the cosmos and introduces new characters and ideas, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a key movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
There were several unexpected cameos in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, much to the pleasure of fans. These cameos weren’t all made equal, either. Some were fleeting but noteworthy, like Patrick Stewart’s reappearance as Professor X. Others were more important but tragically ended, such as John Krasinski’s portrayal of Reed Richards.
Another actor who made his MCU debut in Doctor Strange 2 and similarly met with an unflattering ending now has frustrating news for MCU fans.

Frequently asked questions
Who is Anson Mount and which Marvel character did he play?
Anson Mount is an American actor known for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Hell on Wheels. In the MCU he played Black Bolt, the silent king of the Inhumans, first taking on the role in ABC's 2017 series Inhumans before appearing as the character in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
What happened to Black Bolt in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?
Black Bolt appeared as a member of the Illuminati on Earth-838 in the 2022 film. Wanda Maximoff (the Scarlet Witch) turned his own power against him by magically removing his mouth and then forcing him to speak; because Black Bolt's voice is destructively powerful, his own sonic blast killed him, making for an extremely short-lived big-screen debut.
Is Anson Mount returning to the MCU as Black Bolt?
Based on his own comments, no. Mount said that if a return were happening he would not be allowed to confirm it, but since he could speak freely, the answer was no. He has said he would love to reprise the role, yet no official Marvel return has been announced, so any multiverse comeback remains fan speculation rather than a confirmed plan.
