(Warning: This post features spoilers for “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”Fresh off a massive opening weekend box office, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is proving to be one of the more divisive Marvel movies in recent memory. Fans seem to be split over the decision to peg Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff as the antagonist in the sequel – a fact that was obscured in the marketing, but one many expected given the character’s transformation into the Scarlet Witch in the comics.But the shift from hero to antagonist proved difficult for some fans to swallow coming off the character’s deeply empathetic portrayal in “WandaVision,” which explored how her grief over Vision’s death manifested in holding an entire town hostage.

“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” goes to some odd places in the course of its runtime, ping-ponging beyond the MCU to places beyond.But it never stops in a game show universe.Thankfully, we corrected that. We asked the film’s stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong and Xochitl Gomez to play a Strange Quiz – a trivia game where every answer has the word “Strange” in it.

“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is finally here.The sequel finds Benedict Cumberbatch reprising his role of Doctor Strange after the events of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and teaming up with a post-“WandaVision” Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) to travel the multiverse and, well, save the world. Much of the story has been kept under lock and key, so fans have been eagerly anticipating the film’s release for months.But while “Multiverse of Madness” is now playing exclusively in theaters, some fans are no doubt wondering, when is “Doctor Strange 2” on Disney+? The answer is we don’t quite know for sure yet, but we can make an educated guess.While Disney has yet to officially announce a Disney+ streaming date for “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” we can look to how “Eternals” rolled out to get an estimate for how soon the film will be streaming.

“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is finally here, and TheWrap recently sat down with the film’s director and cast (including, of course, the former Sorcerer Supreme himself, Benedict Cumberbatch) to discuss all things “Strange.”Learn how Sam Raimi became involved in the project, whether Benedict Cumberbatch is eager to make more “Doctor Strange” movies and how Rachel McAdams got pulled back into the multiverse. Plus hear from the current Sorcerer Supreme (Benedict Wong) and the MCU’s newest recruit (Xochitl Gomez).

Wilson Chapman editorIn “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” longtime Marvel Cinematic Universe hero Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) is at her most villainous, butting heads with the title character (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) over the course of the film. But Olsen, whose portrayal of the mystical Scarlet Witch has made her a consistent MCU fan favorite, insists that no matter what Wanda goes through, she’ll continue to defend the character.“I remember people saying at the end of ‘Wandavision,’ ‘She has no accountability!'” Olsen told Variety senior entertainment reporter Angelique Jackson on the red carpet at the “Multiverse of Madness” premiere on Monday.

A very marvel-ous season! Nearly five months since the last Marvel Cinematic Universe flick hit the big screen, this summer will have two highly anticipated sequels coming out: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Thor: Love and Thunder — and that’s just the tipping point for 2022 movie releases.

“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” a giant movie that has the unenviable task of being a sequel to the original “Doctor Strange” standalone film (released way back in 2016), a follow-up to the enormously successful “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (which heavily featured Strange) and a second season of sorts to “WandaVision,” the inaugural Marvel Studios series for Disney+ that aired more than a year ago.In “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” directed by the one and only Sam Raimi, Strange (once again played by Benedict Cumberbatch) starts to unravel a mystery that could impact not only his world but all of the worlds, leading him to team up with psychically powered orphan Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and MCU newcomer America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), who has the power to open star-shaped portals to other universes.Perhaps the biggest surprise is saved for the end, during the movie’s credits. But if you were befuddled as much as you were dazzled, we’ve got you covered.

“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is finally here.The highly anticipated Marvel Studios film, which serves as a sequel to 2016’s original “Doctor Strange” and a follow-up to last year’s blockbuster “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and Disney+’s hugely popular streaming series “WandaVision,” aims to showcase unexplored corners of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (Or is it Marvel Cinematic Multiverse?) With returning characters like Wong (Benedict Wong), Christine (Rachel McAdams) and Wanda Maximoff aka the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and new characters like America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), this is a big movie with big surprises and big stakes.

On a quest to heal his injuries, Strange travels to Nepal to study mystic arts and unlocks his true potential as a magician.

Since then, she's starred in numerous award-winning films and TV series, even earning an Emmy nomination in 2021 for her role as Wanda Maximoff in the popular Disney+ series .Of course, there's a certain amount of pressure when you come from a famous family. “I’ve always felt that presence, which made me work harder and maybe have a chip on my shoulder, to be over-prepared and disciplined, so I could feel like I was earning it,” she says. During her undergraduate career at the New York University Tisch School of Arts, she always pushed herself to be the best, she adds.

changing the the comic book genre forever, Raimi has not touched a superhero movie since, and his last directorial effort was 2013’s “Oz the Great and Powerful.”With Raimi at the reins, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is poised to be the MCU’s first horror movie, though it still retains a PG-13 rating. Marvel movies and Disney+ series like “Loki” and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” have breached the topic of the multiverse, but Doctor Strange is plunging right in, with Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff, aka the Scarlett Witch, at his side.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is predicted to be a big Phase Four entry with many special guest stars. The first “Doctor Strange” film came out in 2016, which means a lot (truly, a lot) has happened in the period between movies, including an introduction to the Guardians of the Galaxy, Black Panther and even Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. Ant-Man, Captain Marvel, Shang Chi and the Eternals also entered the picture.The “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame” films complicated things a bit for the MCU, as did Marvel’s very first television series “WandaVision,” whose powerful Wanda Maximoff will return to help Doctor Strange learn more about the multiverse.

Happy times are here again for movie theaters this weekend with Disney/Marvel’s long-awaited Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness set to fire up the summer box office season we didn’t have a year ago.

“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” promises to expand the MCU in a major way: by opening up the multiverse, of course. First teased majorly in last year’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” the multiverse paves the way for different iterations of the same character to populate the MCU as we know it, and “Doctor Strange 2” finds Benedict Cumberbatch’s titular sorcerer (along with Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff and some other friends) hopping from reality to reality, encountering different versions of themselves as well as new heroes destined to spawn new MCU franchises of their own.The first “Doctor Strange 2” reviews are in ahead of the film’s May 6 release date, and while Marvel movies are usually fairly critic proof, last year’s “Eternals” – which was the first Marvel movie to earn largely negative reviews in years – stumbled at the box office.

When you bring Sam Raimi into the Marvel Cinematic Universe you can bet you are going to get something different, and that is definitely the case with his pretty scary take on the latest MCU entry, Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness. Though Raimi is well versed in the Marvel comic book world having directed the first Spider-Man trilogy he is just as well known for many other genres, certainly for his horror filmography including The Evil Dead and Drag Me To Hell among a lot more, and here he successfully and entertainingly gets to mix that kind of dark terrifying storytelling with beloved established characters in the MCU.
