Slated for a May 7th, 2021 Release date

Scott Derickson is returning and Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch)
Returns as well

Possibly an adaptation of House of M???

Well at least there is one MCU film that I'm interested in...

I had some leaks that i didnt post here this that claimed Nightmare was the villain of the next Strange movie. Guess they were true.

seeing wanda's most powerful version on screen I AM F$CKING THERE

Probably the fallout of whatever happens in this movie will cause mutants to come into the mcu.

I hope it's not House of M bullshit. The title screams Lovecraftian horrors (it's very obviously a riff on At the Mountains of Madness) and if we get Wanda shenanigans instead of that I'm going to be pissed.

I've been waiting too much for them to tap into the Multiverse for their storylines. This is going to be amazing.

I'm a pretty big Strange fan, so more from this character is always a plus for me. And that title has got me very curious, as well as the inclusion of Scarlet Witch, who is probably in a very rough headspace after IW and EG.

I'm a big fan of this Marvel movie series. I love Doctor Strange because of his acting skills and sense if you watch all the movies of him, you'll going to observe that his timing is perfect. I am waiting for the next film.

This is the most interested film of mine of phase 4 with Thor 4 a close second. Dr. Strange and SW sounds amazing.

Awesome title. We need a Strange vs Cthulhu movie next.

Nightmare has been rumored.. I'd like to see D'Spayre too

So do we wanna start taking bets that Stephen dies in this Movie and Wanda becomes the NEW and BESTEST EVAR Sorc Sup?

Cause Phase Phore WHAMMINZ!?

I highly doubt that. Beyond everything else it would affect, it would retcon Endgame, considering what the Ancient One said:

"Strange was meant to be the best of us."

To the point that she did a 180 and immediately gave up the Time Stone just from finding out that he did so himself.

Endgame pretty much proved Continuity don't mean Shit.

I can see this happening.

I can see this happening. EG proved continuity matters, Thanos is inevitable and that he singlehandedly beat avatar.

Not with their sloppy version of Time Travel it didn't.

Wipe the Cuck out of your eyes ShillBoy.

Strange will be CUCKED and Beta'ed in his own Movie.

Cause Marvel is WOKE NOW!

A horror film is truly groundbreaking for the MCU. Continue to push the boundaries and reinvent what the MCU can be. So glad I am a member of the MCU family.

Yeah. You would think that after "The Snap" Nightmare should be Pretty Bad Ass with that Power Boost right now.

Yes to see Wanda and Strange going on psycheldic acid trip together. I ship them now that vision is dead. I wish vision was used better in civil war and infinity war, the Russos really messed up his entire deal

Vision is basically the MCU equivalent of Fox Cyclops at this point. He was cool in AoU, but then just went downhill from there.

If they're going with Lovecraftian horrors with this film, Hoping to see Shuma-Gorath.

Sam Raimi is in talks to direct this

https://variety.com/2020/film/news/doctor-strange-2-sam-raimi-1203475309/

**** yeah

The last director left because of creative differences. Whatever that means. Raimi has a very distinct style, but he does like to throw horror themes in to his movies, so maybe he'd be a good fit for this? I hope so.

Bruce Campbell is going to play Nightmare, lol.

i can see tobey maguire in this

^^^he could be Rintrah!

Anyone hoping that since Sam Raimi is directing Doctor Strange, the film is going to have a Tobey Spider-Man cameo(And maybe Andrew Garfield?) when Strange is traversing the multiverse?

It will most likely have a Bruce Campbell cameo.

Hope to see a cameo from the Necronomicon ex mortis in Strange's library, If Raimi does decide to do this film.

Of course Bruce will be there, but I meant that this movie would be the perfect opportunity to introduce characters from other franchises like the Sony Spider-Men, the X-Men, Sony's Fantastic Four, etc.

Raimi's confirming that he is indeed directing the sequel.

Evil Dead easter egg confirmed by Bruce Campbell

https://screenrant.com/doctor-strange-2-bruce-campbell-script-joke/

A trailer is rumored to be released this month.

Yeah I'd expect it'd be with Spiderman.

I just watched a leaked trailer.

Shuma-Gorath is gonna be in this movie.

The Doctor gets another heavy hitter adversary.

Spoiler-ish.

One of the Spider-Man NWH post-credit scenes is actually a short trailer for this. Looks cool, and is one of the few new phase films I'm somewhat pumped for.

So Evil Strange is the villain? Cool. Hope it's not a fake out and the real villain is Wanda.

Is there an evil Doctor Strange from the comics? I'm uninformed.

If you dig deep enough, you should fine some evil Stranges.

But this one seems like the What if version... or, perhaps, someone posing as Strange, in order to trick or troll him.

I'm more hyped to see Shuma Gorath in action.

Shuma eats kangaroos for breakfast.

In the 'What If...?' TV show, it had a Doctor Strange from one universe go evil.

Yeah but then he sets out to redeem himself and helps stop Infinity stones ultron so I dunno...

I hope he threw galactic dildos at unsuspecting people in various universes.

Looks like the Squad like beast that we seen in the trailer who we thought was Shuma-Gorath is actually Gargantos

https://thedirect.com/article/doctor-strange-2-villain-creepy-official-merch

Gargantos

These movies are so repetitive and getting on my last nerve

Didn't know this was Sam Raimi, so I might actually care a little bit now.

It might not suck like the first one.

Looks cool.

He seems more like a potential ally. Teaming up against the greater evil and all that.

Can't even recognize all of the characters in the newest trailer - looks awesome indeed, as Bruce said.

It's just good to see Raimi doing another Comic book movie, Hope he doesn't get screwed over like what happen when he was over at Sony doing Spider-Man 3.

Unlike Sony, Marvel Studios really know what they're doing.

Obviously the movie will be mostly CG, but I hope Raimi sticks to his roots and has a good practical effect gag or two.

Do we know if Raimi is gonna be involved in future MCU projects?

Looks like a step up in CGI quality. Some of that trailer genuinely looked amazing in comparison to what's come before.

Was that the Human Torch in the trailer?

Doesn't matter, She's still being introduced.

Plenty of classic Avengers that didn't achieve great popularity.

Doesn't mean they can't work on the big screen. It's not always about the A-listers and A-listers only.

Marvel's succeeding because they're exploring every corner of their universe, unlike DC that reboots Batman for the 238985723985th time, hoping it can magically save them from humiliation.

No need for a link. Most of us are comic nerds in here

Yes, good guess, especially since there are rumours of Tom Cruise's Superior Iron Man + some Reed Richards' variant.

CBvF posters are feeling the same.

We still need more for it to be a proper Illuminati, but the film is already overflowing with characters, both fan-favorite and obscure ones.

As much as I'd love to have RDJ do a cameo return for this, I kinda hope that rumor is true.

edit: I guess we could get both, since it's the multiverse and basically anything is possible.

prolly so but I just do not want to be spoiled because on May 6, my ass will be sitting in an IMAX theater for 2 and 1/2 hours enjoying myself

Not particularly looking forward to this.

But I'm hoping it doesn't have awful Marvel humor and that it will feel like a Sam Raimi film. If it accomplishes those things it might be good.

I think Fiege claims Sam Raimi fans will recognize it as his work and be pleased. Supposedly.

Oh, VERY interesting Ty!

With Xavier's voice heard in the trailer, I'd bank on it. Unless it's intended misdirection by the studio.

I forget who dropped it, but supposedly they're revealing the new Wolverine in this with a cameo.

I've said before and I know I'm not the only one who wants this, but the new Wolverine should be revealed in a scene where he and the Hulk are fighting. Which would make your #180 (and your #181) go up.

Leaked image of Black Bolt, John Krasinski as Reed Richards, and Captain Carter as the Illuminatihttps://www.facebook.com/FcukDC/photos/a.581224688915197/1619302775107378/ BE WARNED

This was ok the plot was kinda meh...

the cameo of Prof X., Black Bolt and Reed was pretty cool too bad they got killed off few minutes later. The whole story of Wanda wanting to go to an alternate universe to have Kiss being the main plot through the entire movie was kinda disappointing for me.
Wasted potentional of the multiverse imo.

Enjoyed it a lot more than the 1st one. Maybe relied a little too heavy on the novelty of the illuminati scenes. Very amused at the Bruce Campbell Evil Dead cameo. Scarlet Witch is an absolute wrecking machine. Monstrously overpowered. No idea who Charlize Theron's character is in the post credits scene but I'm sure someone will enlighten me. They looked like they were on their way to fight Dormammu though. Also liked John Krasinski as Richard Reed

Also, yes the Avatar trailer was attached and looked pretty awesome.

It's toned down a bit, but you can tell they gave him a lot of lattitude with this movie. More than I was expecting. It feels very much like a Raimi movie.

Tonally in terms of how "dark" it is its probably on the same level as the likes of Hellboy. There's a couple of brutal deaths but the worst is only implied and not shown. I'm the same with the 1st one which was surprising as I really like Mads Mikkleson and Chiwetel Ejiofor. (I enjoyed the subtle reference in this to his role as The Operative in Serenity)

My only gripe is that it sort of fizzles out at the end purely because, as I said, Scarlet Witch is ridiculously overpowered and basically unbeatable. Like she single handedly kills almost everyone at Kamar-Taj then solos Black Bolt, Captain Carter, Reed Richards, Rambeau"s Captain Marvel and Charles Xavier

Visually the scene when Strange and Chavez are falling through different universes might be the coolest scene in the MCU so far. Very similar to Spidey when he's in the holographic projection in Far From Home.

Found this to be a whole lot of meh story and plot wise. Visuals were really cool, as to be expected when Strange is involved. I'd put it in the bottom tier of the MCU though.

Best part was the second/final credits scene. John Krasinski as Reed Richards worked well, do hope they keep him in future films. Loved seeing Captain Carter live; her fight scene was good.

Did have a giggle at the real hero of the story being a Latina teenage girl named "America" who has two mommies and sports a LBGTQ pin on her stars-and-stripes jacket, because the usual suspects will gripe, even though this is a Marvel character.

Funniest part was when Reed the "smartest man in the universe" hints Wanda the only thing that can kill her...

This movie fell somewhere in the mediocre tier for me. It wasn't bad(I actually enjoyed the overlying horror vibes), but I didn't think it was great either.

I have quite a few comments, but for starters I was annoyed that the Illuminati were wholesale annihilated a few minutes after their initial reveal... I get that Wanda was essentially an unbeatable dues ex machina, but damn. I just expected to see more from them.

I did love the X-Men TAS theme playing when Xavier came in, though. I also really liked Krasinski as Reed -- he spoke with a calm, understanding, and almost remorseful tone, which I thought was perfect.

I've debated with myself whether or not to see this in the theater. I'm really curious to see some new Sam Raimi work. I still found his style really fun and unique in his Spiderman movies even though he was tamed down a lot, but I don't know, it being Dr. Strange and MCU just kind of turns me off. So I'll probably just wait.

Plus I only have to wait until next week to see the Avatar 2 trailer online.

There aren't as many quips as in the original, if you're concerned about that.

There still are some, though. And yes, they feel forced.

From a visual standpoint, I found this movie highly entertaining. From a narrative standpoint, I thought it was dumb as fuk. This whole huge deal is made about America's ability to travel between universes, with everyone being awed and amazed by this seemingly one-of-a-kind ability... Yet, in No Way Home, Strange brought multiple characters over from other universes, literally by accident. Hell, even fukin Ned managed to do it.

Ned didn't extract Tobey and Andrew from their respective universes - that was already done before by a botched up spell.

Originally posted by StiltmanFTW

Even if that was the case, which seems at odds with how the rest of the spell glitched out IMO, it doesn't change the fact that universal crossovers had already happened by the time of MoM. Yet everyone seemed stunned by America's ability. And Strange somehow seemed to know less about the multiverse in this film than he did in No Way Home.

Also, on an unrelated note, the Illuminati were a complete and utter joke. This big reveal and all this tough talk and they get fodderized like 5 minutes later. And, of course, typical MCU combat PIS where Wanda warps two of them and kills them instantly but then decides to fire magic lasers at the others for the rest of that fight.

Like I said though, there were a lot of cool visual bits, like the magical music battle between the two Stranges, the sequence where Strange and America were falling through universes, the scene with Zombie Strange as well as a number of others.

What the hell was that?! The was ****in awful. Easily one of the worst Marvel films yet. Absolute drivel.

Edit: Really liked Strange possessing his alternate universe's corpse and then commanding the spirits. That was great. Everything else was trash.

Also, to add to what I said previously, with the home release of No Way Home they also included a video called "Ned's Bogus Adventure", which actually saw him visiting the universes the other two Spider-Men were from. And it was also revealed by the filmmakers who did No Way Home that America was originally going to appear there and be the one that links up the Spider-Men with her powers, but they decided to change it to Ned to keep her debut for this film. So, based on all of that, the intent did seem to be that Ned was portaling between universes. Which, as I said, makes the whole driving plot point of MoM absolutely idiotic.

As a massive fan of the first film, I thought that this film was decent. Not amazingly memorable, but watchably passable . It had a strong start, and the introduction of the Illuminati (and thus the Fantastic 4 and X Men), the concept of dreams being multiversal gateways, the power/corruption of the Agents-Of-Shield-introduced Darkhold, and Scarlet Witch being the film's primary and seemingly unstoppable antagonist rather than Strange's sidekick was highly intriguing. However the film seemed to fizzle out at the end, IMO because it pulls that lame TLOU2/"power of love" BS where the villain aka Wanda spends the entirety of the movie's runtime mercilessly slaughtering people, only to cop out at the last second and suddenly develop a conscience, thus rendering her relentless quest, and thus the entire film's plot, into an indecisive and meaningless waste of time in order to preserve the character's marketability. Also, IMO, Strange has weak characterization in this film compared to it's predecessor. In the first film, he underwent an amazing character arc going from selfish jerk willing to push around others to selfless hero willing to sacrifice himself, whereas here, his primary character conflict is the generic and boring "too busy being a hero to have a spouse" cliche. Also, Mordo seems to have conflict with Strange purely because the plot demands it, even when it doesn't benefit him or his superficially weak values in the slightest

While this was a fun movie in terms of spectacle and does have great fantasy concepts, it seems to be weighed down by its status as an MCU vehicle, which prevents it from becoming a fully developed standalone film. I'd give it a 7.5/10, as it was better than Iron Man 2 or Thor: The Dark World, but not as good as Guardians Of the Galaxy 2 or Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Visually, the film was stunning and absolute eye candy.

Wanda was massively overpowered so much that it was (no pun intended) comical. She erased Black Bolt's mouth and obliterated Reed with absolute ease, but spent the majority of the film flying around and shooting red pew-pews. Also, Black Bolt would never be so stupid as to scream like he did and kill himself. The guy has spent his entire life on focusing his powers and meditation to not utter even a breath.

I dislike how the Illuminati were so easily scrapped, but Wanda is easily on a different tier so I'll look the other way. I just hope Krasinski plays Reed in the upcoming film. I was pleasantly surprised by his appearance.

Chavez suddenly "harnessing her power" with the "eye of the tiger" was expected, but lame.

I had to explain to my daughter the preceding events of Wandavision since she hadn't seen it.

Did anyone else notice the Living Tribunal?

Overall, I enjoyed it but the fist film is superior, IMO.

7/10
