When Will Doctor Strange 2 Release On Disney+? | Screen Rant
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits theaters this Friday on May 6th. The anticipation for Marvel Studios' first film of the year is pure chaos, with rumors, theories, and leaks running rampant across the internet. Audiences will need to temper their expectations and traverse the internet with care only a little while longer before seeing Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen reprise their iconic roles as Doctor Strange and Wanda Maximoff on the big screen this weekend.
In Doctor Strange's sequel, the character has cast a forbidden spell that opens a doorway to the multiverse and unleashes a threat too great to handle on his own. With the help of Wanda Maximoff, Wong, and newcomer America Chavez, he will traverse the multiverse on a mind-bending and mystical journey. Doctor Strange will also come face to face with a secret organization called the Illuminati to face judgment for his crimes against reality. In doing so, the Illuminati will face the wrath of Wanda Maximoff.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is not currently streaming on Disney+ but will release on the platform sometime later, as is custom with every Marvel Studios film since the streaming platform first launched in November of 2019. The only exception being Spider-Man: No Way Home since Sony holds the rights to distribute all Spider-Man movies, so Disney+ could not stream it like its other MCU films. Audiences shouldn't have to wait too long to watch Doctor Strange 2 in the comfort of their own home. However, nothing beats the theatrical experience and atmosphere of a Marvel Studio production.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will release as a theatrical exclusive on May 6th which means there will be at least a 45-day window before audiences can view it online. However, if the movie does well in theaters, that window could be even longer. For instance, Spider-Man: No Way Home's Box Office success warranted a nearly 90-day exclusive theatrical run.
There is currently no set date for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' release on Disney+. However, both Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Eternals were available to stream on the platform around 70 days after their theatrical debut. Therefore, Doctor Strange 2 will likely arrive on Disney+ around 70 to 90 days after May 6th, depending on how well it does at the Box Office. This determines the best guess is Doctor Strange 2 will arrive on Disney+ sometime between July 15th and August 4th.
