While she’s sitting with her husband Waymond (Ke Huy Quan) across from inspector Deirdre Beaubeirdra (Jamie Lee Curtis), she’s suddenly transported into a parallel dimension. There, an alternate version of Waymond explains that the future of the multiverse is being threatened by “verse-jumper” Jobu Tupaki (Stephanie Hsu) — who also happens to be Evelyn’s daughter, Joy — whom they must work to defeat.
It’s a lot to take in, but the film gloriously illustrates the endless versions of the Wang family (and Deirdre) through visual snippets that are at turns whimsical, apocalyptic, terrifying, heartfelt and hilarious. Salazar recognized her limitless opportunities to design the film’s hairstyles, but said she was anchored by the characters’ inner essence, which stays constant even as the world changes around them.“One of the most important things was I wanted to make sure that they were consistent throughout,” Salazar said.
