About Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Movie:

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is an American superhero film based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Doctor Strange.

It is the sequel to Doctor Strange (2016) and the 28th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and part of Phase Four of the MCU.

Doctor Strange director and co-writer Scott Derrickson had plans for a sequel by October 2016. He signed to return as director in December 2018, when Benedict Cumberbatch was confirmed to return.

The film’s title was announced in July 2019 along with Elizabeth Olsen’s involvement, while Jade Halley Bartlett was hired to write the film that October.

Scott Derrickson stepped down as director in January 2020, citing creative differences.

Michael Waldron and Sam Raimi joined the following month and started over, adding elements of the horror genre that Raimi had worked with previously and making Maximoff the villain of the film, continuing her story from the Disney+ miniseries WandaVision (2021).

Filming began in November 2020 in London but was put on hold in January 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Production resumed by March 2021 and concluded in mid-April in Somerset. The shooting also occurred in Surrey and Los Angeles.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness held its world premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on May 2, 2022. The film was released in several countries, including Germany, Italy, Sweden, and South Korea on May 4, 2022, in the United Kingdom on May 5, and in the United States on May 6. It was released in 4DX, RealD 3D, IMAX, Dolby Cinema, ScreenX, and Superscreen formats. It was originally set for release on May 7, 2021, but was pushed back to November 5, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, before it was further shifted to March 25, 2022, after Sony rescheduled Spider-Man: No Way Home to November 2021. In October 2021, it was shifted once more to its current May 2022 date. The film is part of Phase Four of the MCU.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness received praise for Raimi’s direction, visuals, musical score, production design, cinematography, and Olsen’s performance, with criticism drawn to the screenplay.

The film grossed $955 million worldwide, making it the fourth-highest-grossing film of 2022.

In February 2021, the documentary series Marvel Studios: Assembled was announced. The special on this film, Assembled: The Making of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, was released on Disney+ on July 8, 2022.

The film began streaming on Disney+ on June 22, 2022, with the option to view the theatrical version of the film or an IMAX Enhanced version. It was released by Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD on July 26. The home media includes audio commentary, deleted scenes, a gag reel, and various behind-the-scenes featurettes.

According to Samba TV, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was watched by 2.1 million U.S. households within its first five days of being available on Disney+; this was comparable to the viewership of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) and Eternals (2021). According to the streaming aggregator JustWatch, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was the sixth most streamed film in the United States in 2022.
