Doctor Strange 2 Honest Trailer Raises Valid Concerns About MCU X-Men
Though there are plans for the team in the future, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' Honest Trailer raises some valid concerns about the Marvel Cinematic Universe's X-Men. The recently released sequel saw a longer development cycle than many MCU sequels as original co-writer/director Scott Derrickson departed with creative partner C. Robert Cargill over creative differences with Marvel Studios. Sam Raimi would come on to take the helm and start from scratch on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness with Loki creator Michael Waldron being brought on to pen the script.
Benedict Cumberbatch returned to lead Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness as the titular sorcerer meets the multiverse-traveling America Chavez and learns she is being hunted down by a corrupted Wanda Maximoff, who wants to take her powers to head to another universe and be reunited with her sons. The MCU sequel was met with generally positive reviews from critics for Raimi's stylish direction, a shift to a horror tone and Elizabeth Olsen's performance, while criticism was directed towards its overstuffed plot and rushed pacing. In spite of its reviews, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was a box office smash, grossing over $951 million against its $200 million production budget, initially becoming the highest-grossing film of the year, only to be recently surpassed by Top Gun: Maverick.
