Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Benedict Cumberbatch returns for this Sam Raimi-directed entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a sequel to 2016's Doctor Strange taking place after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home and correlating with MCU series WandaVision.

Their only chance rests with some familiar faces...

The new Doctor Strange is a fun Sam Raimi movie but a weak MCU film
