Doctor Strange 2: Release date, cast, trailer, and everything you need to know
Doctor Strange 2 lands in cinemas in May 2022 and we now have a terrific first trailer to tide us over until then.
In a surprise for MCU fans, the footage debuted as Spider-Man: No Way Home's post-credits scene, before Marvel officially released it online on December 22 as a Christmas treat for anybody who hasn't seen No Way Home yet.
The sequel underwent reshoots in November and December 2021, but it's nothing to worry about. Benedict Cumberbatch explained that it was to both improve what they have and shoot things they couldn't before because of COVID.
Originally, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was going to be released in March 2022, but it was pushed back to May 2022 after Disney and Marvel gave Phase 4 another shake-up. At least that'll give them a bit more time to make sure it's as good as it can be.
We still don't have a lot of plot details for Multiverse of Madness, but Cumberbatch has been teasing that No Way Home will be surpassed as the "most ambitious standalone superhero movie" by the sequel.
That perhaps won't be a surprise to fans as Elizabeth Olsen has been teasing that Doctor Strange 2 sequel is a "bonkers movie" and with Sam Raimi taking over as director, who knows what he'll bring to the screen on his return to the superhero genre.
Although Raimi has admitted that it wasn't an instant yes to joining the MCU. "I didn't know that I could face it again because it was so awful, having been the director of Spider-Man 3," he explained.
We're glad it happened though and hopes are high for the sequel, so here's everything we know so far about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Doctor Strange 2 release date: When will Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness come out?
Long story short, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will hit cinemas on May 6, 2022, taking the slot of Thor: Love and Thunder which has been pushed back to July 8, 2022.
It means the sequel will now be coming out a year after its originally planned release slot of May 7, 2021, which was then pushed back to March 25, 2022. Hopefully, this new date will stick.
Filming took place between November 2020 and April 2021 with a brief delay due to increased restrictions in the UK. There were reshoots that were completed in September 2021 and now, as mentioned, there was another round that finished in December 2021.
