"You are not an aberration, Clea Strange. You are a miracle." 🥹🥹🥹
BUT CLEA, DON'T IGNORE DOYLE! He's not a curse. Poor boy has already been through so much and has Dormammu as a father, he could use a loving cousin.
The sweetest and deadliest family!
And the Faltine family drama continues. They're so unhinged, I love it. I really hope Dormammu gets to meet Donna soon.
Umar is more of a mother to Donna than she ever was with Clea, which isn't saying much. The bar is on the ground with her.
Well, Umar did murder Stephen. "Dreadful" is a kind term.
THEY WANT TO BE PARENTS SO BADLY BUT THEY'RE SCARED

Unpopular opinion. #1
Dormammu is the one who should be the Main Villain in "The Multiverse Saga".
Arts made by Anthony Francisco and Kevin Maguire.
Warning: English is not my main language, I'm sorry if there are some errors in the text.
_______________________________________________
If Marvel is really going to try to replace Kang as the main villain in the saga, then Dormammu is one of the best options at the moment.
Dormammu is already a multiversal threat in the MCU and has been here since 2016 trying to get revenge against Stephen (The "Anchor" of the MCU, according to Kevin Feige).
Dormammu and Stephen have a long rivalry in the comics, not to mention that the two are very similar in certain aspects, such as their ego, ignorance and pride.
Stephen Strange's greatest love is, literally, the niece of his greatest enemy. Imagine the potential that this could be used to develop their rivalry and even explore what Clea's relationship with Dormammu is like in the MCU. Let you know, I'm a fan of the idea of Dormammu and Clea having a "Father and Daughter" relationship in the MCU, I think it would be an interesting dynamic and would make Dormammu become a more complex antagonist.
Nothing against Doctor Doom replacing Kang in the MCU, because he is one of the best villains in Marvel and is the most likely option to happen. However, my fear is that they will have to introduce him in the middle of the saga and perhaps his introduction will be too rushed, negatively affecting the character's adaptation. Galactus has the same problem.
Dormammu is an easier villain to write in the MCU because he has always been portrayed as a villain who is "Evil for the sake of being Evil." There's no problem with him being like this in the MCU, because that would save Marvel a huge headache if they used Kang or Doctor Doom. Furthermore, there is a way to make simple villains work in the MCU, the High Evolutionary is an example. Villains can be pure evil and still care about certain people, this could be put into Dormammu and explore that side of him a little.
If Marvel wants so badly to adapt "Secret Wars" into the MCU, then there are two possibilities for doing so: They could leave out 2015's Secret Wars and focus on the first Secret Wars (Beyonder), but replace the Beyonder with Dormammu. The other option is to try to adapt the comic "Defenders (2005)", because in that comic, Dormammu managed to use the power of Eternity to recreate the Multiverse in his image. These two options could save 2015's Secret Wars and be adapted in the future with Doctor Doom.
The first Doctor Strange film established that the Dark Dimension is "Beyond Time". This could be used as an excuse for Dormammu to not be affected by Kang's (or the Council of Kangs') manipulations. Furthermore, this would give Dormammu an advantage in eliminating these threats and taking their place as the Main Villain.
_______________________________________________
Well, that was my opinion on who should replace Kang in the MCU. I know this will never happen, because Marvel doesn't realize the potential they are losing by leaving the Faltines aside. I know it's still possible for them to just replace Kang's actor with another actor, but I wanted to base my post on the possibility of the character being completely replaced, because it's more interesting.

What If? #18 (Gillis/Sutton, Dec 1979). I thought this would be a simple Mirror Universe version of Strange who just works with Dormammu and constantly plots to undermine his rivals. It turns out to be a cleverer, more circuitous path to Strange’s enlightenment.
