Everything we thought we knew about the Marvel multiverse was all wrong this entire time. Between shows like Loki and She-Hulk, and movies like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel has not exactly been consistent or clear about the rules of the Multiverse.
But when you rewatch the entire Multiverse Saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you start to realize how the multiverse really works, despite the contradictory explanations. In our latest Marvel video, we’ll break down the Marvel multiverse, and tell you once and for all how it really works. What‘s the difference between parallel Earths and parallel realities? How does time travel fit into a multiverse? How can there be alternate dimensions (like Asgard or the Quantum Realm) in the same singular universe of the multiverse? Watch our full multiverse explainer below.
