Marvel's Multiverse plans have been in motion for some time while Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness will be the Multiverse's coming out party on the movies' side, Disney Plus' upcoming Marvel TV series are going to be playing with the Multiverse a great deal. Even DC's recent, more stand-alone films like 2019's Shazam and 2020's Birds of Prey had mentions of the greater shared universe, albeit with a lighter touch.
