The Marvel Cinematic Universe explodes with each new movie, especially when Doctor Strange hits theaters in the Multiverse of Madness.
Plagued by shooting delays due to COVID-19 and multiple theatrical debut pushbacks due to Sam Raimi jumping in to save the project after original creative leads left, Doctor Strange has gone down a long road to joining the Marvel collection.
With the official trailer dropping on Super Bowl Sunday, every Marvel fan assumed that Multiverse of Madness was set for its May 6 release (after being pushed back from its November 5, 2021 debut). Still, Marvel star Benedict Cumberbatch just dropped some serious updates that cry “delays” once more:
Benedict’s still filming reshoots for Doctor Strange? Oook.

With less than two months to go, Sam Raimi, Kevin Feige, and the whole Marvel team are hard at work adding the final touches to this epic Multiverse film. However, they are still reshooting various scenes with principal actors like Cumberbatch, which means delays are possible.
Fans were less than enthused to hear this news:
Im excited for this movie, but being completely objective, if the leaks are true and theyre STILL shooting this close to release, its realistic to say this is shaping up to be a mess
