Marvel movies always seem to have a multitude of famous stars taking up every role these days. The most recent movie, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was no exception as Benedict Cumberbatch was joined by Elizabeth Olsen and several surprises for a truly mad movie.
However, with the film on streaming, there’s one star that no one saw coming.
The high energy ‘extra’ that steals the scene at the wedding.
@chaaarlesweber THIS is how you be an Extra #doctorstrange #multiverseofmadness #mom
In the above TikTok video, the extra seated behind Cumberbatch during the scene at the church seems to have found her moment to become unforgettable.
Doctor Strange is seated speaking with Nic West, played by Michael Stuhlbarg. But no one can pay attention to their conversation because the woman seated just behind the good Doctor is having the time of her life.
She’s making eyes, making faces, and at one point even seems to glance at the camera.
She’s too much for these TikTok comments.
However, she wasn’t just relegated to the world of short videos on TikTok. No, her own madness spread across the multiverse of the internet and found it’s way to Twitter where people were here for the extra.
They praised the “performance of a lifetime” as she seems to swirl and smile at everyone around her.
Watch for the next Marvel film: Church Lady.

There were theories as to who this actress might be, with some suggesting a BAFTA nominated British performer named Lesley Sharp, while others suggested it might be Cumberbatch’s own mother, which is why the take stayed in the movie.
While fun thoughts, neither of these options seems very likely. Either way, the scene will stay in our hearts and laughter for a day.
