Doctor Strange 2: Must-See MCU Movies and Series
After six years, Doctor Strange has finally gotten a second solo film with “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”. The long wait for a film with the magic expert in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) does not mean that Strange actor Benedict Cumberbatch has been missing in the MCU for so long. That’s why we’re telling you today which films and series you should have seen before you watch the sequel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Why you should watch Doctor Strange 2: our review of the Marvel film
Doctor Strange – the obvious candidate
An absolute no-brainer, but of course we don’t want to leave it unmentioned for the sake of completeness. Because the origin story of Doctor Strange, in which an arrogant surgeon becomes a slightly less arrogant master magician, is perhaps not one of the hottest Marvel films. Nevertheless, it is a cool adventure away from the MCU, which was so dominated by sci-fi up to that point. that there a stylish steel book with comic cover for the film on Amazon, we don’t want to withhold it from you either.
Avengers: Infinity War – on par with Thanos
In the big MCU event Infinity War, Doctor Strange is one of the crucial heroes who take on Thanos himself. The dynamics of Strange with Tony Stark, who is at least as ego-driven, are also exciting. In addition, the magician is already exploring the possibilities of different universes and timelines in Infinity War in order to give the heroes a chance against the villain Thanos. You can also watch this film as a stream on Disney+ or put it on the shelf as a beautifully designed steel book!
WandaVision: What was Scarlet Witch up to?
In addition to Doctor Strange, Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch also plays an important role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Accordingly, we will give you the grippingly staged Disney+ series WandaVision to the heart, which deals with what Wanda experiences between the events of Avengers: Endgame and Doctor Strange 2. Far removed from the action spectacle of many Marvel films, this gripping drama series revolves primarily around grief and dealing with great loss.
Marvel’s What If…? Preparing for Multiverse Characters
Without going into spoiler territory, the characters from Doctor Strange 2 also include characters from the Multiverse this animated series from Disney+. Not only will there be a modified form of Doctor Strange (already recognizable from the trailer for the film), but also a different version of Captain America. With that in mind, it’s definitely worth seeing the first Captain America movie. Hey, did somebody say great Captain America steelbook? Must have been the wind…
Spider-Man: No Way Home – Doctor Strange’s most recent appearance
Doctor Strange has a particularly prominent role in No Way Home, the latest Spider-Man film. Because he is the one who brings Peter Parker’s adversary from the multiverse into the world of the MCU. The chaotic adventure also ends in such a way that watching Doctor Strange 2 directly offers itself – the confrontation with the multiverse does not leave Strange untouched. By the way, No Way Home is already available on Blu-ray.
Bonus: Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man!
As the director of the new Doctor Strange movie, Sam Raimi is an intriguing choice. Because comic book heroes are nothing new for him, as he was one of the founders of the superhero boom, so to speak, when he let Tobey Maguire jump over the cinema screens three times as Spider-Man. As an avid horror director, he’s also a great choice for the darkly directed Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In this respect, a comparison of Raimi’s directorial work would be in Spider-Man from 2002 with the latest MCU project is definitely a great viewing experience.
