4. Clea

We are all excited to see the MCU’s first attempt at horror with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. We know Beyonce as the singer of Halo, but she has a bit of a dark side with Sasha Fierce. Well, what better way to show how big and bad she could be than as the niece of  Dormammu, the ruler of The Dark Dimension?

In the pages of Marvel comics, Clea helps Doctor Strange defeat her uncle. Of course, she was punished and exiled from the Dark Dimension only to be rescued by Doctor Strange and brought to Earth. Sparks would fly between the two super-powered people making them one dangerous couple. Clea would eventually get kidnapped by her father in hopes to destroy Strange — it doesn’t end well.

The role of Clea makes sense for a few reasons. For starters, in a case like this, Beyonce’s role would be minimized as she’d be a supporting character. This would give fans who weren’t going to see Doctor Strange a jolt of energy and perhaps even make it a priority for them. Likewise, Marvel’s comic sales would could very well skyrocket with both mainstream and non-mainstream fans wanting to know this character Queen B is playing.

So yeah, having Beyonce would either be a sweet dream or beautiful nightmare, but that’s in the eye of the beholder, of course.
