Is Dr Strange 2 coming to Disney Plus?

Doctor Strange 2 is set to debut on Disney Plus, with the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe entry making its way to the service sooner rather than later. The most recent chapter in the MCU focuses on the titular hero battling it out with Wanda across the multiverse, with director Sam Raimi leaving his unimitable, horror-tinted mark all over the movie. But when is Doctor Strange 2 coming out on Disney Plus?

When is the Doctor Strange 2 Disney Plus release date?

Doctor Strange 2 is coming out on Disney Plus on Wednesday, June 22, 2022. This is a major change from previous MCU films, that would previously take around two months to release on the platform.

The release for the film will likely follow the below schedule across the US and UK:

• June 22, 2022, 12 AM (PT)
• June 22, 2022, 3 AM (ET)
• June 22, 2022, 8 AM (BST, UK)

So why the change? Doctor Strange 2 was a box office success, raking in over $910 million worldwide. However, having new MCU entries take up two months to release on Disney Plus can inevitably push people away from subscribing to the service. By dramatically shortening the delay between Marvel films making their way to the big screen, Disney may convince Marvel fans who haven’t yet subscribed to the streaming platform to do so, knowing that MCU films won’t take so long to make their way from the theater to the service.

And it’s certainly a big change for release date timing on Disney Plus. Eternals released on Disney Plus 68 days after its theatrical debut, while Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was pushed to the service 70 days after release. Both pulled in less money both domestically and worldwide than Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, with Shang-Chi raking in $432 million worldwide while Eternals pulled in $402 million.

In other news, an official Marvel MMO was canceled before it had even lifted off the ground. A new mobile game called Marvel Snap was also revealed.

It’s been almost two months since the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The project was one of the most anticipated Marvel movies of the year, and while it may have stumbled a little, the final project still had plenty to love. Not only that but there were tons of cameos and Easter eggs to pick up on, many of which were undoubtedly missed by most viewers upon first viewing.

For example, that sequence with America Chavez and Strange falling through various realities not only had a major HYDRA reference but also ones about Iron Man and the X-Men. Audiences can even see the Living Tribunal amongst the many backdrops.

Thankfully, for those who missed these details, fans will be able to go back and rewatch thanks to its streaming release, which happens to be right around the corner.

Ahead of its release on Disney+, the service has even put together a special collection for the titular character. The new category features all of Benedict Cumberbatch’s appearances in the MCU, aside from Spider-Man: No Way Home, in one convenient place.

When it comes to Multiverse of Madness’ release on the streaming platform, it will break a current MCU record. Its June 22 release will be the end of its 47-day exclusive theatrical run, which is the shortest gap in time between a Marvel Studios’ film theatrical debut and the streaming premiere.

But when exactly will it be available to watch for audiences worldwide?

Doctor Strange 2’s Streaming Time on Disney Plus

When does Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hit Disney+?

The movie will be on the streaming service in the United States at 3 a.m. EST on Wednesday, June 22, which equates to 12 a.m. PST.

For those keeping track, that’s also the same time all of the original Star Wars and Marvel Disney+ content tends to drop onto the service.

Will Doctor Strange Have an Audience on June 22?

June 22 is going to be quite a busy day for Disney+. Not only will Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness be hitting the streaming service, but so will Obi-Wan Kenobi’s finale and Ms. Marvel’s third episode.

It’s hard to imagine Benedict Cumberbatch’s recent Marvel outing performing better than those two more current adventures, but it certainly won’t make the service any less busy. Many might have to put some thought into the order in which they all get watched.

For those who want to wait to pick up Multiverse of Madness on physical media, that version of the film won’t be released until July 26. Though it probably won’t be hard to wait for, given how it’ll be on Disney+ in the meantime—a service most already have.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits Disney+ and digital marketplaces on June 22.
