Emma Watson to join Benedict Cumberbatch in Doctor Strange 2 as Clea?

After the successful end of Phase Three, Marvel Cinematic Universe has entered into Phase Four and promises several new faces to emerge in the upcoming movies. Similarly, an image of Emma Watson made the rounds on the internet as a potential character in the Doctor Strange 2 cast. The image, which is catching the audience's attention, shows Emma dressed as Clea, a sorceress and the disciple of Doctor Strange, according to the comic books. 

Emma Watson seems to be glowing in purple and donning short hair as stands in front of a sanctum. The character, Clea is dressed in a bodysuit and has purple flames and symbols in front of her palms, similar to Doctor Strange's orange symbols as shown in Doctor Strange and the last two Avengers movies. But is the image real?

Emma Watson's picture, posted on March 30, 2020, is created by a digital artist, ApexForm. The graphic designer has created many such posters on his Instagram page related to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The picture of Emma Watson as Clea is a mere interpretation by the artist.
