It's been six years since the first Doctor Strange, though we've seen plenty of the character since: in Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, and in No Way Home, where Benedict Cumberbatch's goateed sorcerer – who throws magic hand shapes like a reject from a ballroom voguing contest – played a pivotal if accidental role in opening the portal to the MCU's multiple realities. Marvel's latest, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, is here to double down on that feeling of either delight or terror, delivering another trip into the infinitely expanding, if curiously unimaginative, realm of multiple realities and franchise favourites dusted off for renewed screen service (at least until their deepfake doppelgangers can be perfected). Last year's monster-hit Spider-Man: No Way Home unleashed the limitless – or terrifying, depending on your perspective – possibilities of the MCU's multiverse, a world in which every character you've ever known, loved, or rolled your eyes at could be employed in franchise perpetuity where old villains and heroes could be resurrected, and the only real mortality came at the hands of an actor's expired contract.
