Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' official runtime has been revealed and it is shorter than what many may have expected. Benedict Cumberbatch returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after his supporting role as the sorcerer in last year's Spider-Man: No Way Home, in which Strange accidentally opened a rift in the multiverse during an attempt to help Peter Parker (Tom Holland) regain control of his life. The Evil Dead's Sam Raimi will direct Multiverse of Madness, returning to Marvel for the first time since Spider-Man 3 (2007).
The horror-themed Doctor Strange sequel will follow the titular character as he deals with the consequences of his actions in No Way Home. Strange joins forces with Sorcerer Supreme Wong (Benedict Wong), Wanda Maximoff's Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), and MCU newcomer America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) to set the universe straight and face off against a new mysterious foe, as well as with other variants of themselves. Chiwetel Ejiofor is set to return as Mordo and Patrick Stewart will make the jump to the MCU, seemingly as Professor X, a role he played in Fox's X-Men series.
