Strange defeats the destroyed universe's Strange, who has been corrupted by his universe's Darkhold, and uses it to dreamwalk into the body of his deceased counterpart on Earth-616. [94] Until then, Waldron had been writing the script expecting Multiverse of Madness to be released before No Way Home. In Malaysia, the film grossed $1.6million on its opening day to become the second highest in the country's history. [166] Daniel Chin of The Ringer felt the trailer had "creepy imagery" and that it was "expected to separate itself from other Marvel projects even further by weaving in horror elements", while also noting how the film won't have to introduce the multiverse, and can instead explore it even further, and also how it'll be the "first real attempt to blend existing story lines from its Disney+ series with its big-screen properties", while he thought made it the "first major crossover event in Phase 4". [84] He described Multiverse of Madness as Raimi's return to "big superhero movies", and said it would have every aspect of a Sam Raimi film,[85] including a "slightly scarier direction" which he felt Raimi had a strong track record with. [86] Waldron also used his experience from writing the series Rick and Morty, which helped him "introduce these big sci-fi concepts in ways that were digestible, palatable to the audience and without getting them bogged down in the boring details". [193] Nawaf Alsabhan, Saudi Arabia's general supervisor of cinema classification, said the film had not been banned from the country but revealed that Disney was "not willing" to grant their request of cutting "barely 12 seconds" of a scene in which Chavez refers to her "two moms". [79] Olsen was hesitant about playing the villain after believing that she would just be "in an ensemble thing", but she came to feel that the combination of WandaVision and Multiverse of Madness gave her an opportunity to create a sympathetic character in the series who the audience would therefore have conflicted feelings about when seeing the film. He concluded his review by saying that "infinite realities tend to reduce the dramatic impact of any one single reality, and reduces what there is at stake in a given situation. [139], Patrick Stewart, who portrayed Charles Xavier / Professor X in the X-Men film series, was revealed to be appearing in the film in an undisclosed role with the release of the full trailer in February 2022;[140][15] Stewart was believed to be reprising the role of Xavier,[141] which had previously been the subject of speculation. He explained that it was their intention for the film to serve as a guide into a "much creepier side" of the MCU, even after Derrickson's departure,[73] and they wanted to explore the "mind-bending frightening side" of the multiverse. He also thought the film was "unsatisfying in some respects", but praised the final act, which he felt starts to "play more to Raimi's strengths [it's] looser, more kinetic and occasionally goofy despite [the] big stakes". [157] By February 2021, Elfman had begun working on music to be used during filming, but would not begin work on the actual score for the sequel for several months. [221] Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review, and also praised the film for Raimi's direction. [101][110][111] He said the film was more collaborative than his previous MCU appearances, for which he felt like he was "just along for the ride". [192], In April 2022, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that the film would not be released in Saudi Arabia due to the inclusion of America Chavez, a gay character, given the region's censorship of LGBTQ references. 
The Illuminati of Earth-838 also includes Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles Xavier, portraying a different version of the character that he previously played in 20th Century Fox's X-Men film series; Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter / Captain Carter, after voicing another version in the animated series What If?
[207] In its third weekend, the film grossed $31.6million. He also looked at how the character had developed through his other MCU appearances,[88] and Raimi praised how Waldron's imagination and knowledge of Marvel history contributed to the script.
It's a somewhat engaging mess, but a mess all the same." [26] The Illuminati sequence was filmed in pieces, with many of the actors not being on set together. [89], Waldron described Maximoff as "the biggest best bullet" that they had,[90] and said she was destined to become a villain in the MCU, as she did in the comics, especially after the end of WandaVision revealed "to her that the family she's built is not real. [173][174][175][176] RelishMix reported that the trailer had 93.12 million views in 24 hours across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram, which was the top trailer among those airing during the Super Bowl according to their metrics. [195] Cumberbatch was disappointed by the countries' decisions to not release the film, saying: "We've come to know from those repressive regimes that their lack of tolerance is exclusionary to people who deserve to be not only included, but celebrated for who they are and made to feel part of a society and a culture and not punished for their sexuality. There's so much progress that can be made." [102] Filming was delayed from an initial May 2020 start date due to the COVID-19 pandemic. is a playful expansion of Marvel's multiverse", "How Benedict Cumberbatch's Dr. [N 3] When Strange refuses to surrender Chavez, Maximoff attacks Kamar-Taj, killing many sorcerers. [197] In mid-May, Disney CEO Bob Chapek said the situation was complicated but noted that the film was already commercially successful without a release in China. He found Raimi's direction in a number of scenes in the film had "the companionable spirit and shifting imagistic flair he showed in the first two Spider-Man films". [150] Waldron said the final line-up of the Illuminati was similar to the one in his first draft,[79] but with some other suggestions coming from Feige. [80] The COVID-19 pandemic began to impact film productions during those first three weeks,[79] and pre-production started taking place remotely. [33] Chavez's co-creator Joe Casey was not paid for the character's appearance in the film after he rejected a compensation offer from Marvel Comics that he described as a "pittance". Production resumed by March 2021 and concluded in mid-April in Somerset. [69] It was important to Olsen that the film not repeat what was done in WandaVision and instead be an evolution of the character, and she requested several adjustments to the script to avoid moments that she found too similar to the series. [77][78] Raimi was curious how making big-budgeted films had changed since his prior film, Oz the Great and Powerful (2013), and he also had to familiarize himself with the existing MCU storylines and characters for the film. [150][151] Craig was reportedly set to portray the character Balder the Brave in the scene. Chavez explains that the beings are hunting her because she has the power to travel through the multiverse. [79] Elaborating on that tone, Olsen said they were going for a "horror show vibe",[119] comparing it to Raimi's Evil Dead films with aspects of the horror genre such as "constant fear". [137] By the end of the month, Raimi had assembled a cut of the film that would be presented to test audiences, and said there was potential for more reshoots to occur if the test screenings found that clarification or improvement were needed;[138] Cumberbatch was working on further reshoots in the United Kingdom by March 13. [158][80] Elfman's frequent collaborator Steve Bartek worked on the score remotely over Zoom.
[81] Filming was initially still on track to begin in May 2020,[69] until Disney shifted much of their Phase Four slate of films due to the pandemic, moving Multiverse of Madness's release date to November 5, 2021. [134] Cumberbatch confirmed the reshoots were being used to make adjustments to already shot material, while also filming parts that "were just impossible to do [during principal photography] because of logistics, COVID etc. Doctor Strange director and co-writer Scott Derrickson had plans for a sequel by October 2016. Co-producer Richie Palmer also voices one of the Souls of the Damned. [3][4] It is the second-highest-grossing film of 2022.

The 67% decline was attributed by Deadline Hollywood to the "bad word of mouth" on the film and its CinemaScore grade, while EntTelligence saw more than 17% downsize of available seats for the film, resulting in a lessen showtimes which also led to the decline. [43][42] A creature resembling prominent Doctor Strange villain Shuma-Gorath appears in the film, but it is given the name Gargantos, which comes from a different comic book character, because the rights to the name Shuma-Gorath belong to Heroic Signatures. [65] Later in the month, he clarified that the sequel would not be a horror film, as some reports had described it following the Comic-Con announcement, but it would be a "big MCU film with scary sequences". [224], Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, and gave the film a critical but mostly positive review. [46] The character Clea is introduced in the mid-credits scene, portrayed by Charlize Theron,[8] and Waldron makes a cameo appearance as a guest at Palmer's wedding. Sometime later, Kamar-Taj is repaired and the surviving sorcerers, joined by Chavez, continue training.

She kills all of the Illuminati except Mordo, whom Strange subdues before fleeing with Chavez. Tickets were still available in the United Arab Emirates, which The Hollywood Reporter stated was an indication that the film could still be released there. [94] In October 2021, it was shifted once more to its current May 2022 date. Marvel was beginning to search for a writer,[9][56] with The Hollywood Reporter stating that the script would be written throughout 2019 for a planned filming start in early 2020 and a potential release in May 2021.
