With Avengers: Endgame at the box office, Marvel Studios had their work cut out for them to convince fans of Phase 4. Among this collection of movies and series released in theaters and on Disney+, one feature film stood out for its gruesome side that stands out. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
So the studios called in Sam Raimi, known for the Spider-Man trilogy with Tobey Maguire, but also for his horror mastery with Evil Dead and All the Way to Hell.
And his expertise in this genre was the right setting for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the magical and terrifying continuation of the adventures of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch).
Into the madness and horror of the multiverse
The Marvel Cinematic Universe opens up and pushes the boundaries of the multiverse even further with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, now available on Disney+.
A few months after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange must overcome the hallucinatory and dangerous alternate reality of the multiverse.
She echoes fellow Avenger Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen), who went full Scarlet Witch after the events of WandaVision. Wanda becomes an enemy as she seeks to find her two children Billy and Tom in another world at all costs.
To do this, he must capture the young America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez), who has the power to create portals to multiple universes. Scarlet Witch, both powerful and dangerous, Doctor Strange will protect young America by plunging him into the multiverse, forcing him to face several of his options, but also the Illuminati.

Sam Raimi’s touch allows the film to have an eerie atmosphere with bloody sequences and stage effects that play on the terror. And this is thanks to the invasion of the multiverse and the extraordinary abilities of magical creatures such as Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), as well as some creatures from other realities.
A few memorable scenarios may make some people cringe, but I assure you, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a mild fantasy horror film that is not banned or recommended for minors. We still recommend not showing the feature film to children under the age of 10.
Doctor Strange’s Multiverse of Madness managed to convince its audience by grossing just under a billion dollars worldwide and pulling in nearly 3.4 million viewers in France.
Rated 3.6 out of 5 by AlloCiné viewers – the 3rd best Marvel movie of Phase 4 – and 3.2 out of 5 by the press, the film seduces with its madness and humor, but above all with its acting and horror. side!
“Stunning scenes, great actors and especially Wanda who impresses me every time. She’s just bad. This second opus is simply better than the first.” According to Brandon B.”Finally a Marvel that has a scary and dark side. One of the best in the MCU” According to Axel B.
Internet user lucky_luke95 confirms the trend: “I loved this Doctor Strange, which deftly mixes suspense, a bit of horror, gore and zombies (surprisingly for Disney/Marvel).
Sam Raimi connoisseurs will recognize plenty of Evil Dead cues. Visually, the film is masterful. With many other references to the Marvel Universe and other comics (no spoilers) it’s nice to see and prove the possible and incredible scope of the MCU.”
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is available on Disney+.
