Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Doctor Strange. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is intended to be the sequel to Doctor Strange (2016) and the 28th film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Sam Raimi, written by Michael Waldron, and stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange, alongside Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Rachel McAdams. In the film, Strange and his allies travel into the multiverse to face a mysterious new adversary.

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 Cumberbatch was confirmed to return. The film's title was announced in July 2019 along with Olsen's involvement, while Jade Halley Bartlett was hired to write the film that October. Derrickson stepped down as director in January 2020, citing creative differences, with Waldron and Raimi joining the next month and starting over. 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. Shooting also occurred in Surrey and Los Angeles.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 6, 2022, as part of Phase Four of the MCU.

Premise

A few months after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021),[1] Dr. Stephen Strange, with the help of both old and new mystical allies, travels into the multiverse to face a mysterious new adversary.[2]

Cast

Cumberbatch and Olsen announcing the film at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con
  • Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange:
    A neurosurgeon who became a Master of the Mystic Arts following a career-ending car accident.[3] Writer Michael Waldron compared Strange to Indiana Jones as a hero who can "take a punch", but with the intellect of chef Anthony Bourdain,[4] and added he is a "great adventure hero you just like to watch kick ass". Waldron also hoped to explore what effect the events Strange has gone through in his previous MCU appearances would have on him.[5] Cumberbatch also portrays multiple alternate versions of the character,[6][7] including: "Sinister Strange", a "corrupted and corroded" version of the character; "Defender Strange", a seemingly heroic version based on the Defenders version of the character from the comics;[8] a zombie variant which was previously introduced in the animated series What If...?;[8][9] and "Supreme Strange".[10]
  • Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch:
    A former Avenger who can harness chaos magic, engage in telepathy and telekinesis, and alter reality,[11][12] whom Strange seeks for assistance regarding the multiverse.[2] The film continues Maximoff's "ownership of what makes her unique and the accountability of her life experience" that began in the series WandaVision (2021),[13] with an example of this being a return to an accent that is more true to her Sokovian heritage after some of the previous MCU films had moved to an Americanized version.[14] Olsen was largely unaware of the Multiverse of Madness story while filming WandaVision and tried to ensure Maximoff's role in the film honored the events of the series rather than having the series be affected by the film.[15] Olsen also portrays alternate versions of the character,[8][1] including a zombie variant which was previously introduced in What If...?.[9]
  • Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo:
    A former Master of the Mystic Arts and mentor-turned-enemy of Strange, who is hunting other sorcerers.[16][17] Ejiofor also portrays alternate versions of the character.[8]
  • Benedict Wong as Wong:
    The Sorcerer Supreme and Strange's mentor and friend tasked with protecting Kamar-Taj's most valuable relics and books.[18][19] Wong also portrays alternate versions of the character,[8] including "Defender Wong".[20]
  • Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez:
    A teenager with the ability to travel between dimensions by punching open doorways,[21] who originates from another universe.[1] Marvel Studios production and development manager Richie Palmer stated that Chavez's powers are "maddening" to Strange and Wong given they have never encountered anyone with those abilities and it is their job to protect the dimensional barriers. Gomez said that "everything is going completely wrong" for Chavez in the film as she is "running away from her uniqueness until she learns to embrace it".[21] The film acknowledges that Chavez is gay as in the comics.[22]
  • Michael Stuhlbarg as Nicodemus West: A rival surgeon to Strange.[23]
  • Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer:
    An emergency surgeon who was a colleague and lover of Strange.[24] The film explores Strange's decision at the end of Doctor Strange (2016) to protect the New York Sanctum and not be with Palmer, despite still having feelings for her and possibly regretting that decision,[25] along with dealing with Palmer's upcoming marriage.[8] McAdams also portrays alternate versions of the character.[8]

Additionally, Patrick Stewart, who portrayed Charles Xavier / Professor X in 20th Century Fox's X-Men film series, appears in the film in an undisclosed role,[26][7][27] while Topo Wresniwiro and Mark Anthony Brighton reprise their respective roles as Hamir and Daniel Drumm, both Masters of the Mystic Arts, from the first film.[28][29] Julian Hilliard and Jett Klyne reprise their roles from WandaVision as Maximoff's sons, Billy and Tommy, respectively.[30] Also appearing in the film are the creature Gargantos, designed after Shuma-Gorath,[31] and Rintrah, a minotaur-esque being from R'Vaal who is a student at Kamar-Taj.[32]

Production

Development

Doctor Strange (2016) co-writer C. Robert Cargill stated in April 2016 that Marvel Studios felt some initial ideas for the film from him and director Scott Derrickson highlighted too much of the "weird stuff" associated with the comic book character Doctor Strange to feature in an origin story, but told the duo to hold onto them for potential future films.[33] Derrickson revealed in October that he had plans for a sequel, expressing his love for the character and the visual possibilities that come with him. Derrickson said the first film was "the tip of an iceberg. There's so much progress that can be made." He wanted to follow the example of The Dark Knight (2008) and introduce a villain in the sequel that would allow them to "go deep [and have] a more visceral experience". Star Benedict Cumberbatch had signed on for at least one more Doctor Strange film.[34] Derrickson expressed interest in featuring the villain Nightmare,[35] and further exploring the characters Jonathan Pangborn and Hamir after their small roles in the first film. He also explained that he was "kept in the loop" on how the Avengers films were using the character due to his close relationships with Joe Russo—the co-director of Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019)—and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.[36] Doctor Strange co-writer Jon Spaihts expressed interest in seeing the character Clea appear in a sequel.[37]

"We honor each definition of the word 'madness' in this movie. For example, it's not just the craziness of what an alternate universe might look like, feel like, or sound like. When you see that there are infinite versions of yourself across infinite universes and you're a different person in them different facets of you rise to the top... Seeing other versions of yourself make decisions that you would not make can, for better or worse, be maddening [for any character.] Sometimes the scariest monsters are the ones that dwell within us. And with the multiverse, maybe some versions of us are more monstrous than others."

—Marvel Studios production and development manager Richie Palmer on the meaning of the film's title[38]

In April 2017, Derrickson was reported to be returning for a sequel, beginning work after fulfilling his commitments to the television series Locke & Key.[39] By December 2018, Derrickson had quietly finalized a deal to direct the sequel, with Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, and Rachel McAdams reprising their respective roles of Dr. Stephen Strange, Wong, and Christine Palmer. Marvel was beginning to search for a writer,[3][40] with The Hollywood Reporter stating that the script would be written throughout 2019 for a planned filming start in early 2020 and a potential release in May 2021.[3] Feige and Derrickson officially announced the sequel at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2019, revealing the title to be Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and confirming a release date of May 7, 2021.[11] Derrickson said he wanted the sequel to be the first scary Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film and explore more of the gothic and horror elements from the comic books than the first installment did.[11][41] Feige revealed that the Disney+ series WandaVision (2021) would directly set up the film, with that series' star Elizabeth Olsen reprising her role of Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch in the film.[11][42] Multiverse of Madness is set a few months after the film Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), in which Cumberbatch stars as Strange,[1][6] as well as being set after the first season of the series Loki (2021), which sets up the events of the film in its season finale, "For All Time. Always."[43] After that episode was released, Tom Hiddleston was reported to be reprising his role as Loki in Multiverse of Madness.[44]

Pre-production

Jade Halley Bartlett, an "up-and-coming screenwriter", was hired to write the sequel's screenplay in October 2019.[45] In December, Feige described the multiverse as "the next step in the evolution of the MCU", and said this film would "crack it wide open" in a way that would have repercussions for the Disney+ series and the next films in Marvel Studios' Phase Four slate.[46] Later in the month, he clarified that the sequel would not be a horror film, as some reports had described it following the Comic-Con announcement, but it would be a "big MCU film with scary sequences". Feige compared these sequences to the films Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Gremlins (1984), and Poltergeist (1982), and said Derrickson was good at being "legitimately scary" due to his background making horror films. Feige also revealed that the film would introduce several surprising new characters to the MCU, including one that Marvel Studios had been looking for a way to use in an MCU film for some time.[47]

In January 2020, Marvel Studios and Derrickson announced that he would no longer direct the film due to creative differences. In separate statements, they both said they were thankful for their collaboration so far and Derrickson would remain an executive producer on the film. This was not expected to delay filming, which was set for May 2020.[48][49] Cargill explained that he and Derrickson conceived a story that went in a different direction from what Marvel wanted,[50] and the pair had not yet written a draft of the screenplay so the final film would not be derivative of their work.[51] Derrickson said leaving the film was a difficult decision, but he did not want to compromise on a film that was different from what he wanted to make. His choice to leave was made easier by the fact that he was able to immediately begin work on The Black Phone (2022), another film he wanted to make.[50] Feige echoed Cargill's explanation when he stated that though Marvel Studios and Derrickson did not agree on the creative direction of the film, their differences were not because Derrickson's take would have been a "no-holds-barred weird, gnarly, scary movie" similar to A24's films The Witch (2015) or Hereditary (2018) as had been reported. Feige said the studio loved that idea, and their intention with the film was for Strange to serve as a guide into a "much creepier side" of the MCU even after Derrickson's departure.[52] Cumberbatch was not consulted regarding the director change and said he was sad to hear about it, but he respected the decision and how it was handled.[53]

Sam Raimi entered negotiations to take over as director by early February. At that time, Chiwetel Ejiofor was expected to reprise his role as Karl Mordo, McAdams was no longer expected to appear,[19] and Loki head writer Michael Waldron was hired to rewrite the film's script.[54][55] Raimi signed on to the film a few weeks later.[4] Raimi was reluctant to direct another Marvel superhero film after the mixed critical reaction to Spider-Man 3 (2007), but accepted the job for the challenge and because he is a fan of the Doctor Strange character and Derrickson's work on the first film.[56] Waldron opted to conceive the script with Raimi from scratch instead of using the horror-influenced foundation that Derrickson had developed with Bartlett.[4][57][58] Marvel Studios production and development manager Richie Palmer said Waldron's work on Loki, in which he explored the multiverse and introduced the concept of variant characters, allowed Marvel Studios to "jump into telling a good story" without having to re-explain those ideas for the audience. Palmer also said Waldron was able to bring "a lot of heart to [the] sci-fi concepts" and carried over that approach from Loki to the film.[59] Raimi noted that after No Way Home saw characters from other universes enter the MCU, Multiverse of Madness would highlight characters from the MCU entering the multiverse and exploring different universes, seeing how similar or not they were to the MCU.[1] Waldron worked closely with Olsen and WandaVision head writer Jac Schaeffer to continue Maximoff's story in the film and ensure it was a satisfying continuation of the series.[49] After a planned appearance by Cumberbatch in WandaVision was removed late in the development of the series, rewrites to the Multiverse of Madness script were required which Feige described as a "wonderful combination of very dedicated coordination, and chaos".[60] These changes include how Strange and Maximoff meet in the film.[14] The story of Multiverse of Madness is still set up by WandaVision, but the film was developed to also work for viewers who did not watch the series.[61] The creative team also saw early production work for the animated series What If...? to learn how Strange was portrayed in that series.[62]

In late March, pre-production work was taking place remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[63] with filming still on track to begin in May 2020.[49] At the start of April, Disney shifted much of their Phase Four slate of films due to the pandemic, moving Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness's release date to November 5, 2021.[64] It was shifted again to March 25, 2022, after Sony Pictures rescheduled Spider-Man: No Way Home to the November 2021 date.[65] Ejiofor confirmed his involvement in late June 2020, by which time production on the film had been delayed by the pandemic.[16] In early October, Cumberbatch confirmed that pre-production work had continued and revealed that filming would start in London, England by the end of the month or in early November.[66][67] Later in October, Xochitl Gomez joined the cast.[17] Although a national lockdown in England was announced from November 5 to December 2 due to increased COVID-19 cases, film shoots were not impacted.[68] The pandemic delays gave Waldron and Raimi more time to develop the film as their own and push it in a "slightly scarier direction", with Waldron feeling that Raimi had a strong track record making scarier films.[57][58]

Filming

Principal photography began in November 2020 in London,[69][70] under the working title Stellar Vortex,[71] with John Mathieson serving as cinematographer.[4] Mathieson shot the film with Panavision DXL2 IMAX cameras.[72] Filming was delayed from an initial May 2020 start date due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[49] Olsen began filming her scenes by November 25,[70] shooting back-to-back with WandaVision,[73] and found it odd to transition from the series back to starring in an MCU film.[74][75] At the beginning of December, filming was taking place at Longcross Studios in Longcross, Surrey.[76] McAdams soon signed on to return as Palmer,[24] shortly before Feige officially confirmed her involvement on December 10 along with that of Ejiofor, Wong, and Gomez. He also revealed that Gomez would portray America Chavez.[77][78] Palmer said Marvel Studios had been trying to incorporate the character into the MCU for a long time,[21] including early plans to include her in Spider-Man: No Way Home,[22] and they knew that Multiverse of Madness would be a good place to introduce her since her powers are related to the multiverse.[21] Chavez's co-creator Joe Casey was not paid for the character's appearance in the film after he rejected a compensation offer from Marvel Comics that he described as a "pittance".[22] Cumberbatch had begun filming his scenes by then, after completing his work on No Way Home.[70][79][80]

Olsen shot for three weeks before increased restrictions near the end of December and another lockdown in England was announced from January 6, 2021. She said filming had been put on hold due to the surge of COVID-19 cases in the United Kingdom.[81][82] Filming resumed by mid-March when Cumberbatch said they were in the middle of production,[79] and Ejiofor began filming his scenes in London by then.[83] Filming occurred at Broomfield Hill Car Park in Richmond Park for the week of March 25.[84] Shooting took place at Freemasons Church in Central London for a few weeks in April.[85] On April 15, Feige said they were in the final week of filming,[86] with shooting taking place from that day until April 17 at Burrow Hill Cider Farm in Somerset. Jett Klyne and Julian Hilliard, who respectively portrayed Maximoff's sons Tommy and Billy in WandaVision, were reportedly on set at the farm,[87] and confirmed to be appearing in April 2022.[30] The production did not suffer any COVID-19-related setbacks when filming resumed in early 2021, though Cumberbatch had to pause filming temporarily after being in close contact with a member of the production who had a false positive test.[53]

Many of the actors, including Olsen,[88] Cumberbatch,[53] and Wong, were excited to be working with Raimi.[89] The director was able to use his preferred camera techniques on the film,[88][53] such as using the camera and perspective to create a feeling of anxiety for audiences,[90] and encouraged improvisation.[53][89] Cumberbatch said the film was more collaborative than his previous MCU appearances, for which he felt like he was "just along for the ride".[91] Olsen added that they were going for a "horror show vibe", describing the film as "bonkers"[92] and comparing it to Raimi's Evil Dead films with aspects of the horror genre such as "constant fear". She felt it was "more than a glossy Indiana Jones movie" and would be darker than those films,[93][90] adding that Raimi was trying to make "the scariest Marvel movie".[74][75] Script supervisor Joe Beckett said it would be dark,[94] Wong called the script "cracking",[89] and Waldron described Multiverse of Madness as Raimi's return to "big superhero movies" with every aspect of a Sam Raimi film.[58]

Post-production

Bob Murawski and Tia Nolan serve as editors of the film.[95][96] Some additional photography for the film had been completed by mid-September 2021,[97] with Olsen and Wong completing their work.[97][89] In October, the film was once again delayed to May 6, 2022.[98] Later that month, Cumberbatch said they were in the middle of additional photography, with further reshoots set for November and December,[99] over at least six weeks in Los Angeles. The Hollywood Reporter said the additional photography and reshoots were "significant", including two weeks dedicated to principal photography that could not be completed previously because of actor availability issues, with additional material being filmed because of the COVID-related slowdowns during the initial shoot.[100] Cumberbatch confirmed the reshoots were being used to make adjustments to already shot material, while also filming parts that "were just impossible to do [during principal photography] because of logistics, COVID etc."[101] The Hollywood Reporter later reported that the reshoots would allow the film to have "more fun with the multiverse" by adding more cameo appearances and variants of established characters, similar to No Way Home and the first season of Loki.[102] The film's teaser trailer was released in late December and confirmed the involvement of Michael Stuhlbarg as Nicodemus West, reprising his role from Doctor Strange,[23] and that Cumberbatch would portray multiple versions of Strange in the film.[6] The reshoots wrapped during the week of December 13,[102] but additional filming continued in early January 2022. The latter was completed on January 8.[103] By the end of the month, Raimi had assembled a cut of the film that would be presented to test audiences, and said there was potential for more reshoots to occur if the test screenings found that clarification or improvement was needed.[104]

Patrick Stewart, who portrayed Charles Xavier / Professor X in the X-Men film series, was revealed to be appearing in the film in an undisclosed role with the film's trailer in February 2022;[26][7] Stewart was believed to be reprising the role of Xavier,[105] which had previously been the subject of speculation.[7] A poster for the film, released at the same time, additionally teased the inclusion of Captain Carter, a character who was introduced in What If...?.[106] Stewart confirmed shortly after that he appears in the film,[27] after previously denying the voice heard in the trailer was his.[107] Palmer stated that though audiences "may have heard something familiar doesn't mean it's someone you have seen before".[108] The trailer also revealed that Hamir would appear in the film,[29] with Topo Wresniwiro confirmed to reprise the role from Doctor Strange alongside Mark Anthony Brighton as Daniel Drumm.[28] A creature resembling prominent Doctor Strange villain Shuma-Gorath appears in the film, but it is given the name Gargantos, which comes from a different comic book character, because the rights to the name Shuma-Gorath belong to Heroic Signatures.[31] Palmer cautioned against assumptions based on the trailer that the Illuminati—a secret society from the comics that Xavier is involved with—would be appearing in the film, and noted that if Marvel Studios were to introduce the group they would be a "more MCU-driven" version rather than a direct adaptation of the comic book line-up;[108] the Illuminati was confirmed to be appearing in the film in March.[109] Cumberbatch was working on further reshoots in the United Kingdom by March 13.[110]

Music

Doctor Strange composer Michael Giacchino was set to return for the sequel by October 2019, when Derrickson was set as director.[111] After Raimi took over, Danny Elfman was hired as composer; Elfman previously worked with Raimi on Darkman (1990), A Simple Plan (1998), Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004), and Oz the Great and Powerful (2013).[112] Elfman said he would refer to Giacchino's Doctor Strange theme in a similar way to how he used Alan Silvestri's theme from The Avengers (2012) when working on Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015).[113] By February 2021, Elfman had begun working on music to be used during filming, but would not begin work on the actual score for the sequel for several months.[112] In January 2022, Elfman revealed that he was working on completing the score, which included conducting an orchestra, with his frequent collaborator Steve Bartek remotely over Zoom.[114]

Marketing

A teaser trailer for the film was played after the end credits of Spider-Man: No Way Home,[6] before being released online on December 22, 2021.[115] Matt Webb Mitovich of TVLine called it a "rousing, thrilling trailer" and noted the ending that revealed an alternate version of Strange. He believed this was Doctor Strange Supreme, a variant of the character introduced in What If...?.[116] Inverse's Alex Welch felt it was a "suitably psychedelic teaser, full of revelations and fun moments that should leave Marvel fans gobsmacked", and suggested the film would tie together "many of the multiversal threads left hanging" from No Way Home, WandaVision, and the first seasons of Loki and What If...?.[117] Writing for Decider, Alex Zalben believed the film was a "direct result" of What If...?, which "instantly mak[es] the animated series far more important than Marvel fans might have originally realized".[118] James Grebey at Syfy Wire said there was "a very ominous aura to the whole trailer".[119] Also in December, merchandise began to be made available with the reveal of Marvel Legends figures based on the film.[120]

A teaser aired during Super Bowl LVI on February 13, 2022, with the full length trailer then debuting online.[7] Justin Carter at Gizmodo highlighted how the trailer continued the first film's "visually trippy" approach to alternate dimensions while adding more horror elements, and was also excited by the brief appearance of America Chavez,[26] while his colleague Germain Lussier felt, compared to the teaser, the trailer "raised the stakes exponentially with all manner of wild revelations and images".[121] The Verge's Charles Pulliam-Moore said the trailer did a better job conveying the film's plot than the teaser, and he felt the film would be the "culmination of all the big-picture troubles" teased in WandaVision and Loki.[122] Many commentators noted the revelation of Patrick Stewart's involvement in the trailer and the implication he could reprise his X-Men role of Charles Xavier / Professor X,[26][7][123][105] which led to speculation that Multiverse of Madness would introduce the MCU version of the Illuminati.[124][125][126][127] RelishMix reported that the trailer had 93.12 million views in 24 hours across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram, which was the top trailer among those airing during the Super Bowl according to their metrics. Disney reported 143 million online views across Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, and Google searches, and 55 million broadcast views.[128] Funko Pops based on the film were revealed in March 2022.[10]

Release

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 6, 2022,[98] in RealD 3D, IMAX, Dolby Cinema, and ScreenX.[129] It was originally set for release on May 7, 2021,[11] but was pushed back to November 5, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[64] before it was further shifted to March 25, 2022, after Sony rescheduled Spider-Man: No Way Home to November 2021.[65] In October 2021, it was shifted once more to its current May 2022 date.[98] The film will be part of Phase Four of the MCU.[130]

Box office projections

The film had the most ticket presale through Fandango since Spider-Man: No Way Home.[131] In April 2022, Boxoffice Pro projected the film could earn between $165-205 million in the United States and Canada on its opening weekend, with a total domestic gross of $400-535 million.[132]
