Not a bad idea.
I guess I had some similar thoughts about this when I thought of the Alliance wonders. I'd been thinking about Alliances with Oz, Narnia and Wonderland, which I guess could work into this mod. Though the details of how the connection between worlds works could be easily explained in the pedias, so naming the Alliance with Narnia "Digory Kirke's Wardrobe" may not be necessary.
And I'd be okay working in an aspect of a multiverse into the mod's continuity. I always figured the backstory to be a kind of "Elseworlds" story only loosely connected with other timelines.
But as for a multiversal wonder, what about Stephen King's The Dark Tower? The All-World of that series could easily be a far future of our version of Earth, long after the events of this mod, or events of stories we've connected to it like Star Trek and Futurama. It would be available in the very late game, probably with Future Tech, and could allow the recruitment of more colorful non-earth characters like the ones you've mentioned.
