Synopsis for ‘Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness’

The door to the multiverse, full of mysteries and madness, opens.

Now that Iron Man and Captain America have left us after an immense battle in Avengers: Endgame, the former genius surgeon and the most powerful wizard of all, Doctor Strange, will have a central and prominent role in The Avengers.

But using her magic to manipulate time and space with a forbidden spell that is considered extremely dangerous has opened the door to the mysterious madness called the multiverse. To restore a world where everything is changing, Strange has to enlist the help of his allies Wong and Wanda, the Scarlet Witch. But a terrible threat hangs over humanity and the entire universe.

The most surprising thing is that the greatest threat in the universe looks exactly like Doctor Strange.

Directed by Sam Raimi, who has created a unique point of view, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness will captivate everyone with its immense scale and unprecedented visual experience that will transcend time and space.

Although Cumberbatch has stated in the past that he’s not sure if Doctor Strange should be the new Iron Man or the new Captain America, the synopsis makes that perfectly clear. He also confirms that the main villain will be an evil version of Doctor Strange. That disproves rumors that the Scarlet Witch would be the main villain of the film.

Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness opens on May 6 in theaters around the world. You can already see the first trailer of the film.
