I'm hoping the Multiverse in Doctor Strange isn't what we expect. I was fine back in the 60s with Earth-1 and Earth-2 but now it's (a) complicated beyond belief ~ how many offspring of Scott and Jean of the X-Men from different timelines are there? (b) overused ~ it seems that's all comics are about now (c) cheapens the whole concept ~ crossing the multiverse should not be as easy as crossing the street.
The multiverse theory is being disputed now in favor of one universe with patches where different laws apply, expanding too fast for us ever reaching another patch; and different laws does not mean alternate universe counterparts, it means different laws, like molecules not able to form, no gravity, or enough lethal radiation to kill any living organism. Feige was very specific about time travel not affecting the timeline (EG Tony Stark's daughter not erased.) Loki in Endgame doesn't appear to have stepped out of the timeline to create a new one; since his TV series will take place in history he is just time traveling. He could still end up back where he started. In Doctor Strange the extradimensional worlds seemed to fit the different laws theory ~ worlds so different that Dormammu could exist. I'm hoping the Multiverse of Madness means universes maddeningly different from ours, not just the tired old alternate universes trope.
