In the Marvel family, one of the two official suppliers of superheroes in comics or on the big screen with its big competitor DC Comics, I ask… Mr. Strange. It must be said that the Marvel tribe is very extensive, with films to watch in a very specific order to help you get your bearings. With, to choose from among the emblematic vigilantes, Iron Man, played in a jubilant manner by Robert Downey Jr., and the Avengers, a sort of dream team including Scarlett Johansson, pregnant during the filming of the group’s second adventure. Our Doctor Strange is also part of the crème de la crème of Marvel heroes.
For what Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was it banned in twelve countries?
Before joining his superhero friends, Stephen Strange had a solo adventure, Doctor Strangereleased in theaters in 2016. A character born from the pen of Steve Ditko, one of the great creators of Marvel, dad, with Stan Lee, of Spider-Man. The success of this first foray into cinema, with nearly 2 million fans in France and more than $670 million in international revenue, inevitably called for a sequel. Theatrical release in May 2022, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessbroadcast this Sunday, November 3, 2024 at 9:10 p.m. on TF1, marks the return to the Marvel stable of Sam Raimi, director of the very first Spider-Man released in theaters in 2002, and before that very striking horror films, like Evil Deadone of the most terrifying productions of the genre. If it was also a hit, even more than its predecessor with 955 million dollars in revenue generated in the United States and internationally, the film was banned in twelve Arab countries, in Saudi Arabia (but not the United Arab Emirates), due to a special scene. In it, America Chavez’s gay character talks about his two mothers.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, a stylized and spectacular adventure
While Sam Rami almost didn’t take on the director’s hat for this new episode, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness follows Doctor Strange, alerted by a teenage girl, who understands that there is a disturbance between parallel universes. He opens up about it to Wanda Maximoff before understanding that she is behind it. The two wizards engage in a clash across dimensions. Stylized and rhythmic, with constant visual invention, this entertainment is remarkable in every way. Also with for fans no less than two post-credits scenes that they should appreciate. So don’t hesitate to take a quick trip to the Doctor.
