Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Doctor Strange travels through dangerous alternate realities with new and returning allies. Sam Raimi directs this second solo Strange film, bringing Wong, Wanda Maximoff and America Chavez into a story where the rules of one world do not necessarily hold in another.

Come for the imaginative environments and the tension created when familiar faces appear in unfamiliar circumstances. Its frightening imagery gives parts of the adventure a different mood from Strange’s first film. Let the story reveal identities rather than using a cameo checklist beforehand.

Doctor Strange introduces Stephen and his magical world. WandaVision is also useful character context for Wanda; the character links provide that route without inventing a new Essential grade.

This Phase 4 film continues Strange’s screen adventures and draws on Wanda’s wider story. Release order is a clearer guide than treating every alternate setting as one continuous timeline.

The catalog lists 126 minutes. The release date above is the catalog’s date for this title; dates and runtimes may differ by territory or edition. Follow the linked film source for its own listing.
