Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is fast approaching, and excitement for the movie is at an all-time high following WandaVision and everything we've seen from Loki thus far.
While the Marvel Cinematic Universe's version of the Multiverse will factor into this sequel alongside the Scarlet Witch, the focus is bound to remain on Benedict Cumberbatch's Sorcerer Supreme. After taking on that mantle in Doctor Strange, Stephen has been through a lot, and was partly responsible for Iron Man's decision to use the Infinity Stones to put an end to Thanos in Avengers: Endgame.
Remember, after seeing millions of possible futures, Strange knew there was only one where Earth's Mightiest Heroes would emerge victorious, and lifting his finger let Tony know exactly what he needed to do.
During a recent interview with SYFY Wire, the movie's writer, Michael Waldron, teased that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will explore everything the hero has been through.
"'How can you go deeper into the character of Stephen Strange?'" he pondered. "This is a guy who’s been through a lot in the last several years. What effect does that have on somebody so powerful? That’s exciting. And beyond all that, he’s just a great adventurer — a great adventure hero you just like to watch kick ass."
Waldron also went on to describe the sequel as a "thrill ride," and had plenty of praise to heap on director Sam Raimi. "It’s a thrill ride with heart like you’d expect from a Sam Raimi superhero movie. Sam’s a genius and the way he moves the camera is really exciting and he’s not afraid to take chances. I think it’s gonna be a really cool experience for everybody."
Needless to say, we can't wait to see more from this one, especially if even half the rumours about what's to come for Strange, Wanda Maximoff, and America Chavez prove to be correct.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to be released in theaters on March 25, 2022.
