As much as Marvel fans are expecting the upcoming Moon Knight Disney+ series, rarely does someones expect the series more than the upcoming movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which, even after gigantic crossovers like Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, is set to push the boundaries of Marvel Cinematic Universe even more. Maybe we should already start getting used to MCU’s new name — Marvel Cinematic Multiverse.

Benedict Cumberbatch returns as the Master of the Mystic Arts in this movie which marks his sixth MCU appearance overall (animated series What If…? included). Cumberbatch debuted as Doctor Strange in the original 2016 movie, the movie that follows once a brilliant, but egoistic neurosurgeon whose life was suddenly changed after an accident that forced him to quit his job and find a way to heal his hands through his spirit. I don’t if that makes any sense, but it’s Marvel, so trust me, it’s cool.

Cumberbatch reprised the role in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Now we know, if you want to make a huge Marvel movie, Doctor Strange is a must-have character. Cumberbatch is quite aware of that, and now he teased that we can indeed expect one big movie (I mean, of course, we are expecting that), and he said that the movie will bring Marvel one more No Way Home-level of success. That’s a very ambitious promise, but considering everything that this movie will and could offer, it’s not impossible to achieve it.

“It’s a big, big movie… it’s going to be an absolute riot. And if it brings off the level of ambition it’s got, we’re going to have success on the level of Spidey. There you go, I’ll put my flag in the sand.” — Benedict Cumberbatch for Empire Online

Directed by Sam Raimi, director of the Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to be released on May 6, 2022.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
