'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' First Reactions Are Out

Mumbai, May 3 - Marvel Studios' long-awaited "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" has had its world premiere on May 2, ahead of its domestic (North America) launch on May 6. Giving a deeper look at the multiversal concept, "Doctor Strange 2" is getting overwhelming reactions from the premiere.

The film journalists, going by their reviews, are calling it the most horror Marvel movie with praising Raimi's brilliant mind to tell the story. Benedict Cumberbatch reprises the title role from 2016's film as the movie also stars Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Rachel McAdams.



The film picks up after the events of "Spider-Man: No Way Home", in which Stephen Strange changed the face of reality by opening up the multiverse. Now, Strange is forced to team up with old and new allies as he ventures into the multiverse to face a new enemy.

#DoctorStrange #MultiverseOfMadness is the most adrenaline-pumping and action-packed MCU movie yet. It’s Sam Raimi camp horror to the bone and worth every ounce of anticipation. A must-see for all lovers of horror, comics, and Raimi. pic.twitter.com/8vH15dn4aW

Absolutely in love with what I just saw. Raimi is truly all over it, and the horror elements are something special, but it’s so fast as brutal and FUN. Did not feel like anything I’ve watched in the MCU before. Cumberbatch and Olsen are 🐐. #DoctorStrange #MultiverseOfMadness pic.twitter.com/opTR7Zpz54

When I heard #DoctorStrange in the #MultiverseOfMadness was the MCU’s first horror movie, I had my doubts, even with Sam Raimi at the helm. But damn! Much like Drag Me to Hell, this is a horror movie that just barely gets away with its PG-13 rating! pic.twitter.com/HKEZagUQnJ

Just watched #MultiverseOfMadness and it’s a Sam Raimi film through and through. It features some of the most brutal and violent moments we’ve seen in the MCU. The darker elements are blended with silly humor and snippets of horror. It’s a BLAST. #DoctorStrange #MarvelStudios pic.twitter.com/JFScZyahOQ

DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS is an absolute rollercoaster ride filled to the brim with truly incredible performances, marvelous visual spectacle, wacky adventure, & Sam Raimi’s signature horror idiosyncrasies. You won’t want to miss this! #DoctorStrange pic.twitter.com/4eFsuqLh2I

By far the creepiest, gnarliest, zaniest, most haunting & terrifying Marvel movie, #MultiverseOfMadness definitely brings the Sam Raimi horror vibes, and I loved that about it. Danny Elfman’s music is a perfect fit for the film’s odd, mysterious tone & Elizabeth Olsen is MVP, imo pic.twitter.com/R5Ybhnd4rl

I most enjoyed how ambitious #DoctorStrange is. How it swings for the fences & how it’s lighter on humor & leans more into the evil of it all. That’s where Raimi really has some fun. Ultimately a film about being pulled toward darkness & the fight to keep it from engulfing us pic.twitter.com/wiwkw5yKjm

Sam Raimi does not hold back. HORROR elements are strong, this is the closest to R a PG-13 movie has ever been. WOW! pic.twitter.com/mwj7Oixaxe

#DoctorStrange in the Multiverse of Madness should be called the Multiverse of Maximoff as Elizabeth Olsen completely steals the show. And Sam Raimi’s leaves his mark as he skillfully blends heroes and horror.

Marvel takes a BIG swing with #DoctorStrange Elizabeth Olsen absolutely delivers and Raimi has his stamp all over it, but there’s a disjointed and chaotic rush to it. pic.twitter.com/05SetN1lqk

Wow! Saw an early viewing of #DoctorStrange #MultiverseOfMadness, and this is probably the most director driven film in the MCU! Sam Raimi delivers on all aspects and gives what I believe is the best entry of Phase 4 in the MCU! #MarvelStudios got another winner on their hands! pic.twitter.com/RfhnlMYbrh
