Benedict Cumberbatch uncovered how Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness took him to the path of self-discovery for the main hero. Helmed by Sam Raimi with a script from Loki creator Michael Waldron Multiverse of Madness depicts how Dr. Stephen Strange, with the help of both old and new mystical allies, travels into the multiverse to face a mysterious new adversary. As per the reports, Derrickson stepped down as director in January 2020, citing creative differences.
Beyond the chaos, carnage, and Chavez of it all, though, Multiverse Of Madness is a Doctor Strange story through and through – one that will drill down right into the character’s core. “There’s a lot of reckoning,” says Cumberbatch. “And a lot of self-discovery. Strange is almost a stranger to himself before this film unfolds and reveals what, essentially, is in his nature, that he then has to either confront or resist or fall into or become.” The answers to the questions of who Strange really is, won’t have easy answers. “There are some very bold ideas, and some extraordinary tests of Strange and encounters,” Cumberbatch continues. “There are some very unexpected conclusions.”
As time draws nearer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to finally hit theaters, those behind the film are offering new insight into what's to come from the MCU sequel.
