Image
Fans are mere weeks away from sitting down in theaters and taking in the MCU's first new film of 2022.  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  is looming close on the horizon, after the multiple delays, a new director, and working through a worldwide pandemic. The  Doctor Strange  sequel will dive into the Multiverse as Benedict Cumberbatch's Stephen Strange is forced to break the very seams of reality in order to save it.  Despite being a little over a month away, the project is still shrouded in a thick fog of mystery. Audiences have been treated to two trailers for the film, getting glimpses at Strange's new reality-bending team of heroes, as well as a handful of the rumored Multiversal cameos planned for the sequel.  ADVERTISEMENT With such a grand reality-spanning plot planned for  Multiverse of Madness , fans assumed that an equally gargantuan runtime would come along with it.

Multiverse of Madness Reported Runtime Revealed

Image
Marvel Studios is set to return to theaters in just a few weeks with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , which is already turning into an MCU mega-event. With dozens of rumors and confirmations for characters from all across the Multiverse, Doctor Strange 2 is building a level of hype not seen often outside of Avengers team-up outings. This movie will be the fifth film and the 11th project overall in Phase 4 - one that will open the Multiversal floodgates after Spider-Man: No Way Home started down that path. Already nearly confirmed to feature Patrick Stewart's Professor X from Fox's X-Men films - not to mention the most powerful players already seen in the MCU - Doctor Strange 2 could end up being the franchise's biggest solo movie ever.

Benedict Cumberbatch Gets Candid About Difficulties on Doctor Strange 2: Multiverse of Madness

Image
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to be the next addition to Marvel Studios' theatrical slate following the wildly-successful Spider-Man: No Way Home . While Benedict Cumberbatch's solo sequel is matching the hype that came from his last movie in 2021, it's also been plagued with difficulties throughout most of its production. Issues started when Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson left the director's chair for this project, even though he remained involved as a producer while Sam Raimi took over his position. Then came the pandemic-induced delays that pushed the entire Phase 4 schedule back, which preceded six weeks of reshoots for the sequel, although the reasons behind the latter are still unknown. ADVERTISEMENT Ahead of Multiverse of Madness ' release, Cumberbatch has spent plenty of time on the interview train discussing every angle of his work on the second Doctor Strange solo outing. Most recently, he ...

Multiverse of Madness Director Reveals America Chavez's Role

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  is set to introduce a brand-new hero to the MCU in the form of America Chavez. The character will be portrayed by Xochitl Gomez (Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club ) in the sequel, marking her Marvel debut as a superhero who can create portals into the Multiverse. The exact details of Chavez's role in the movie are still being kept under wraps, but official footage from marketing may have shed some light on the subject.  The teaser trailer initially showed Chavez being chased by Gargantos for unknown reasons, but the attack was thwarted by Strange and Wong. In the main trailer, the young hero can be seen traveling through different realities with Strange, hinting that a team-up with the sorcerer will happen at some point in the sequel.  ADVERTISEMENT Now, new details about Chavez's appearance in the sequel have been revealed by the film's director.  The Dynamic Between Doctor Strange and America ...

Doctor Strange 2 Producer Reveals the Significance of 'Multiverse of Madness' Title

Image
There is something about Doctor Strange and an ominous quote that hits differently in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "We are in the endgame now." "The Multiverse is a concept of which we know frighteningly little." "Things just got out of hand." All lines that send shivers down the spine of MCU fans. So no one was really that surprised when the Doctor Strange sequel was given one of the most ominous subtitles in comic book movie history.  The Multiverse of Madness  is coming and it is set to explore the chaos within the infinite Multiverse that has been laced throughout the MCU.  ADVERTISEMENT If there is anything that fans of this universe have learned over the past year, it is that no matter how much investigative YouTubing they do, no one can predict what is going to happen. With a title like Multiverse of Madness , that sentiment has never rung more true.  And the showrunners of the highly anticipated Doctor Strange ...

Disney+ Teases Captain Carter in Doctor Strange 2: Multiverse of Madness

Image
The second trailer for Marvel Studios'  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  likely has fans wishing they could use the Time Stone to transport themselves to the film's May 2022 release date. Not only will this sure-to-be-blockbuster further the arc of one Stephen Strange, but it's also heavily rumored to be chock full of cameos from around the MCU Multiverse. One of those cameos comes in the form of Sir Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier from Fox's X-Men movies (heard in the trailer). Another all-but-confirmed appearance concerns Captain Carter, the Peggy Carter Variant from Marvel's  What If...?  who became a super-powered hero in Steve Rogers' stead. ADVERTISEMENT Carter's shield can be glimpsed on the official theatrical poster for  Multiverse of Madness  and now, there's even more evidence surfacing that points to the Super Soldier's inclusion.

Multiverse of Madness Report Debunks Scary Scarlet Witch Rumors

Image
Despite all the chaos and surprises that Spider-Man: No Way Home  delivered, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  looks to be Marvel Studios' biggest venture since the record-breaking  Avengers: Endgame.  With both Benedict Cumberbatch's titular sorcerer and Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch coming back, the heroic cast was already looking stacked. But the most recent trailer has made clear the immense scale of the Multiverse romp between Ultron Bots and the return of Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier. While fans' attention may be focussed on all the cameos and game-changing events  Multiverse of Madness  promises, there's far more to the long-awaited sequel than just that. Ever since its initial conception, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has promised it will be the MCU's first scary film and, with veteran horror director Sam Raimi at the helm, it appears set to deliver on expectations.

Disney Confirms the Subgenre of Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness  is next up on Marvel Studios' theatrical slate, and anticipation is only just starting to build amongst fans. While the MCU has dipped its toes into the Multiverse, the Benedict Cumberbatch-starring adventure will jump off the diving board and into the deep end of Multiversal shenanigans. Info on the supernatural sequel has been scarce thus far, but that doesn't mean nothing is known.  The project is directed by comic book movie veteran Sam Raimi and has been described as the closest thing to a horror movie that the MCU has ever seen.

Tobey Maguire Rumored for Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness Return

Image
Spider-Man: No Way Home remains the talk of the comic book movie community, largely thanks to the team-up between Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker. Even more exciting is the fact that this is only the first of two movies with massive Doctor Strange action in Phase 4. The second of those will come in May with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . Benedict Cumberbatch’s solo sequel has the opportunity to break the MCU wide open behind Strange and Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff, particularly after Spider-Man: No Way Home officially introduced the Multiverse. With Xochitl Gomez’s America Chavez and more than a handful of other rumored characters coming into play, there are no limits to the sequel’s potential.

6 WandaVision Moments That Will Impact Doctor Strange 2: Multiverse of Madness

Image
The majority of MCU Phase 4 projects have largely stood on their own, at least alongside the other post- Avengers: Endgame  content that has been released from Marvel Studios. The exceptions have been the Spider-Man  movies telling an ongoing story.   That's about to change, though, as the Scarlet Witch - last seen in  WandaVision  - will play a key role in  Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . While Yelena's trajectory from  Black Widow  to  Hawkeye  was similar to how Infinity Saga characters migrated from the movies to Disney+ projects, Wanda Maximoff going from  WandaVision  to  Multiverse of Madness  will be the first time major character has appeared in a movie after playing a significant role in a Disney+ series. ADVERTISEMENT This means Marvel fans are going to find out just how much the Disney+ shows will affect the movies that come after them. So far it seems as though the assumption from the folks at Marvel Studios is that vie...
