There are currently only a few such multiverses. Because the comic book structure makes it easy to use the setting, most are limited to the superhero genre. There are also films that bravely represent branching realities, allowing for confusing yet compelling narratives. In any event, these films about the universe should get moviegoers ready for more baffling multiverse mythos films.
1. Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Bringing a parallel universe to life on a comic book scale seemed impossible at first, but Marvel and Disney's magicians pulled it off with flying colours. Avengers: Endgame reversed the fortunes of its doomed predecessor and gave the MCU's heroes a fighting chance against Thanos.
It was possible thanks to time travel, which sent the heroes to a parallel dimension where they were able to borrow all of the Infinity Stones. Many things could have gone wrong, especially when dealing with multiple stories, yet Avengers: Endgame handled it flawlessly, just as its heroes did with that time heist.
2. Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
It was only a matter of time after the success of the MCU's universe in Avengers: Endgame before the MCU started ratcheting up the craziness to eleven. Spider-Man: No Way Home provides the ideal scenario. When Doctor Strange failed to cast a spell that Peter Parker requested to make people forget his identity, it tapped into the multiverse.
All of the Spider-Man villains from prior Spider-Man films, as well as the elder Spider-Men, were later integrated into the MCU's main universe. The picture had an overabundance of fan service, science fantasy, and superhero mayhem that somehow equalled Avengers: Endgame's emotional punch.
3. Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (2018)
Without Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Spider-Man: No Way Home would not have been as brave. This film was released earlier, and it tested the waters by bringing together numerous zany Spider-Men from different realms with Miles Morales.
It's a touch too much fan service, and it can be confusing for folks who aren't familiar with the superhero's comic book. The film's attractive art style, poignant tale, and a multitude of Spider-Men, on the other hand, make it a must-see for fans of either Spider-Man or the multiverse.

4. Star Trek (2009)
In terms of fan service, J.J. Abrams was responsible for the much-needed revamp of the Star Trek series. He did it in a5 way that didn't violate the Star Trek mythos' official canon: he set the reboot in a parallel world. The decision paid off, as the filmmakers were able to take a fresh look at Star Trek.
The beauty of it is that they kept people and things from the original canon reality, where old Spock met the young one after travelling to another universe through the wormhole. The multiverse aspect of the novel isn't just for show; it's also a major driving force behind the plot.
5. Coherence (2013)

Films like Coherence were already bending heads with how they handled the sophisticated sci-fi cliche before Disney or Marvel even started messing with the concept of the multiverse in acrobatic ways. What appears to be a reunion drama is transformed into sci-fi thriller in this flick.
Everything appears to be normal at the reunion until a comet passes by and splits reality in two, with the second world purportedly collapsing after the comet has passed. As a result, the protagonists embark on a frenzied scramble to eliminate their multiverse doppelgängers in order to ensure their survival.
6. Mr Nobody (2009)
Mr Nobody is more art-house than sci-fi, although it matches the multiverse sub-genre because it revolves around the Butterfly Effect. It's difficult to keep track of everything that happens in this film, but the gist is that the last mortal man recalls his life, but in a way that makes it appear as if he didn't choose a path that preserves all of the alternate realities' possibilities.
Through his three romantic alternatives, he explores this. Each choice resulted in a branching reality or parallel universe offshoot, yet there was always something lacking with each alternative. One made him destitute, another saddened him, and the third he didn't actually love. Because the protagonist can't make up his mind, they all exist and don't exist at the same time.
7. Sliding Doors (1998)
Sliding Doors is a full-fledged drama/romantic film, akin to Mr Nobody. The plot centres around Gwyneth Paltrow's primary character, whose future depends on her taking the train from work to home.
If she catches it, she returns home early and discovers that her lover is having an affair with her; she dumps him and improves her life. If she misses the train, her boyfriend's other girl gets to go with him, but Paltrow's character becomes suspicious, and her life spirals out of control. It's a simple explanation for branching realities and parallel universes, but it conveys the message.
8. Source Code (2011)
At first glance, Source Code appears to be a straightforward storey about a machine that can perform a simulation based on the memories of the deceased. Its authors then utilise it to trace down a bomber's identification prior to his next strike. Colter Stevens, a dying military soldier whose brain has been kept because he is the only candidate for the Source Code machine, is at the centre of it all.
Stevens manages to continue living in the memories recreated by the Source Code by the end of the film, proving his theory that the machine generates alternate realities rather than simulations. Unfortunately, there isn't a sequel, but that just means it's worth watching again and again.
9. The One (2001)
Despite the fact that The One is a simplistic action film, moviegoers must give it credit for basing its whole plot on multiverses and interdimensional travel. It all starts with Jet Li's most wicked and ambitious version of himself. His goal is to assassinate all other versions of himself in other worlds in order to become "The One," a creature with godlike abilities who can only be attained by deleting all other versions of himself.
Regrettably, The One's abilities did not flow toward him, but rather to a gentler and more modest version of himself. The protagonist in this version then utilises his newfound abilities to send villainous Jet Li to a penal colony in an alternate universe.
10. Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths (2010)
-evil-justice-league.jpg?q=50&fit=crop&w=740&dpr=1.5 "Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths")
DC was already experimenting with the universe before Marvel dared to bring it to the big screen, as shown in Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. It's based on a Justice League comic book plot in which the "canon" Earth's superhero team is attacked by their villainous counterparts from another universe.
The purpose of the evil Justice League is to wipe out all other versions of Earth so that only they may rule. Batman was having none of it, and happily, the rest of the Justice League's strong hitters put in a valiant effort in a key battle that rescued their universe as well as others.
