The Marvel Cinematic Universe is expanding to new frontiers with Phase 4 and it’s all coming together in Doctor Strange 2, officially titled Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The sequel movie is going to be taking plot lines from Loki, WandaVision, and Spider-Man: No Way Home to build a story that has the potential to be more massive than even Avengers: Endgame. No pressure, though. Let’s read about the doctor strange 2 budget, cast, release date. Watch doctor strange 2 trailer also.
Starring Benedict Cumberbatch and directed by the legendary Sam Raimi, Doctor Strange 2 is easily the most highly-anticipated MCU movie of Phase 4. The film’s script has been written by Jade Bartlett and Loki writer Michael Waldron. Based on everything we’ve heard about the film, it looks like Doctor Strange 2 is going to set the stage for all the MCU projects to come. Read on for all the details that have been revealed so far including release dates, plot, characters, and more.
Is there any trailer of the movie is available?
Yes, there have been two trailers released so far for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The first teaser was released on December 22, 2021, revealing the return of Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch and the evil Doctor Strange from What If…?
The movie’s second trailer came out during Super Bowl 2022 with a ton of fresh footage. The most significant reveal in the trailer is a shot featuring someone who appears to be Patrick Stewart reprising his role as Professor Charles Xavier from the Fox X-Men movies.
Doctor Strange 2 Release Date?
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is currently scheduled to premiere in the United States on May 6, 2022. The sequel was originally set for release on May 7, 2021.
The COVID-19 pandemic derailed those plans, just as it did with most movie schedules. Doctor Strange 2 was pushed first to November 5, 2021, then March 25, 2022, and then to its current date, with Eternals taking the November slot
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Cast?
Besides Benedict Cumberbatch, Doctor Strange 2 will also see the return of Benedict Wong, Rachel McAdams, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, reprising their roles from 2016’s Doctor Strange. And apart from Doctor Strange, the sequel will have at least one more Avenger on board.
Elizabeth Olsen has already been confirmed for the movie and she’ll be joined by MCU newcomer Xochitl Gomez. Gomez is best known for her work in Netflix’s The Baby-Sitters Club. Besides these confirmed castings, there has been a report that Jett Klyne and Julian Hilliard, who played Wanda’s twin sons Billy and Tommy in WandaVision, were spotted on the movie’s set.
There have also been reports that Tom Hiddleston will appear in Doctor Strange 2 but this hasn’t been confirmed yet. Sam Raimi’s frequent collaborator and Evil Dead star Bruce Campbell has also teased that he might have a cameo in Doctor Strange 2. And considering the ties to Spider-Man: No Way Home, it’s possible that either Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, or Andrew Garfield could appear in the movie. The Super Bowl 2022 trailer also teases that Patrick Stewart might be in the movie, playing Professor X again for the first time since 2017’s Logan. We’ll hopefully have a clearer picture as we get closer to the release date.
Who Are the Confirmed Characters in Doctor Strange 2?
It looks like Multiverse of Madness is going to have a massive cast of characters, comparable to an Avengers movie. Benedict Cumberbatch will of course be headlining the film as Doctor Stephen Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts and Sorcerer Supreme of Earth.
Benedict Wong will play Strange’s trusted friend Wong. Wong will also be having an appearance in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, as revealed in the movie’s trailer. It’s currently unknown if that appearance is going to have an impact on the character going into Doctor Strange 2.
Rachel McAdams will be playing Dr. Christine Palmer. She’s an experienced emergency room surgeon who also happens to be a former colleague and lover of Strange’s.
Chiwetel Ejiofor will appear as Karl Mordo, who’s basically Strange’s arch-enemy. After the events of Doctor Strange, Mordo is on a mission to hunt down other sorcerers. We’ll have to wait and see how that brings him into conflict with Strange.
Elizabeth Olsen will play Wanda Maximoff / The Scarlet Witch. An Avenger and sorcerer of great power, Wanda will be continuing her story from WandaVision. The last we saw her, she was reading the magical book called the Darkhold and apparently trying to find her lost children Billy and Tommy. It’s possible that Wanda’s actions may be the key to Doctor Strange 2’s madness, and the question is whether she’s an ally or foe.
MCU debut in Doctor Strange 2
Xochitl Gomez will make her MCU debut in Doctor Strange 2 as America Chavez. In the comics, America is a young superhero whose abilities include the power to travel between dimensions, among other things. She’s been a member of the Young Avengers alongside Billy and Tommy in the comics and it looks like Marvel might be slowly building up to the team’s reveal in the MCU. In any case, you should keep an eye on this one because we expect big things from her.
Budget for the movie ?
Doctor Strange 2 budget is (in the Multiverse of Madness) Reportedly $200 Million.
