Trivia: The scene in which Wanda gets angry and screams "Stop it!" at her variant's children was real. The boys were throwing things at her for part of the scene, and accidentally smacked Elizabeth Olsen hard in the face, hurting her. But they didn't realise they hurt her and kept throwing things. Seconds later, she reflexively screamed "Stop it!", legitimately terrifying them. She immediately felt terrible about snapping at them, but it worked for the scene - it was the take used in the final movie.

Trivia: There is a persistent rumor that Daniel Craig was going to have a cameo as a member of the Illuminati. Craig allegedly would have played Balder the Brave, a sibling of Thor. While it has not been 100% confirmed, reports suggest Craig was cast in the role, but ultimately dropped out due to a sudden rise in COVID cases during the film's production. (He didn't want to risk travelling and getting his family sick.) Thus, the character was simply written out and replaced with another Marvel hero.

Trivia: Original "Doctor Strange" director Scott Derrickson was originally attached to return for this sequel in 2017, but left the production in early 2020. Derrickson and his co-writer C. Robert Cargill wanted to take the movie in a different direction than Marvel Studios, and decided to step away, as they did not want to compromise either their or Marvel's vision for the sequel. Derrickson however is remaining attached as an executive producer due to his work on the first movie and the character.

Trivia: The fourth comic-book movie directed by Sam Raimi, who previously directed the original "Spider-Man" trilogy in the 2000's. Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige is reportedly a big fan of Raimi's first two "Spider-Man" movies (even referring to "Spider-Man 2" as "one of the best superhero movies ever" in interviews), and desperately wanted to bring him into the MCU as a director.
