Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness

THE LATEST film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness is set after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Doctor Strange, with the help of mystical allies both old and new (including Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch), traverses the mind-bending and dangerous alternate realities of the Multiverse to confront a mysterious new adversary. Directed by Sam Raimi, the film stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Xochitl Gómez. The Wrap’s Drew Taylor wrote on Twitter: “Doctor Strange is totally madcap and insane. It’s 100% a Sam Raimi movie (which is very much appreciated), easily the scariest MCU entry thus far. Go in knowing as little as possible. Your journey to the multiverse will be much more enjoyable.” Review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 78%.
