Summaries. Doctor Strange teams up with a mysterious teenage girl from his dreams who can travel across multiverses, to battle multiple threats, including other-universe versions of himself, which threaten to wipe out millions across the multiverse. They seek help from Wanda the Scarlet Witch, Wong and others.

Marvel Studios' "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" - a thrilling ride through the Multiverse with Doctor Strange, his trusted friend Wong and Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch. "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" opens in U.S. theaters on May 6, 2022.

The scene is cut short and Strange isn't able to finish the job, so we're left with the question lingering in our minds. And with that, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness sets up the primary moral question it's going to explore: can we do evil in order that good may come of it?

Marvel's Doctor Strange is not just an origin story; it's a grand thematic statement on the value of letting time pass and living in the moment. 2016's Doctor Strange was one of the best-constructed films in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Doctor Strange's third eye appeared on his forehead involuntarily not long after using the Darkhold, which corrupts any being that uses it, regardless of how powerful or pure they are. It pulled Agatha Harkness and Scarlet Witch into villainy, and Doctor Strange grew a third eye despite limiting his exposure to it.

The Multiverse is the collection of alternate universes that share a universal hierarchy. A large variety of these universes were originated from another due to a major decision on the part of a character. Some can seem to be taking place in the past or future due to differences in how time passes in each universe.

Still, the Doctor Strange sequel brings a fresh voice to the Marvel palette in notable horror director Sam Raimi. His gory gags and stylistic panache are welcome shades to the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- at least according to some of our CNET staffers in their reviews from different parts of the world.

Even though certain features of the universe seem to require the existence of a multiverse, nothing has been directly observed that suggests it actually exists. So far, the evidence supporting the idea of a multiverse is purely theoretical, and in some cases, philosophical.

“The Multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little”, warns Doctor Strange in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but it is a concept that has become rather familiar on screen.

The concept of the multiverse is the idea that there are an infinite number of universes outside of our observable one. These other universes contain infinite versions of our universe, in which every possibility of every conceivable event, choice, action, or scenario is played out.

That people aren't always who they say they are and that life is often nuance and not just black and white. For example, Nathan comes off as the villain but in reality he is broken boy with bad mental health issues who was manipulated by a sociopath and who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Wanda is not a sorcerer, she doesn't cast spells she uses chaos magic. In the comics: Doctor Strange's third eye is an organic manifestation of the Eye of Agamotto.

The multiverse is the hypothetical set of all universes. Together, these universes are presumed to comprise everything that exists: the entirety of space, time, matter, energy, information, and the physical laws and constants that describe them.

The Celestials wanted change, evolution, and mortality, and at the end of the war, they shattered the First Cosmos into countless pieces, and from these pieces were born countless universes, thus forming the first ever Multiverse of infinite possibilities, the Second Cosmos.

While Turning Red skipped theaters (in most territories) in favor of a Disney+ premiere, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness got a 45-day exclusive theatrical run where it has made $411 million domestic and $955 million worldwide.
