Head to your Sanctum Sanctorum, because the Doctor Strange 2 Disney Plus release date is here!. Yes, after a thankfully normal-length (and short for Marvel movie standards) theatrical exclusivity window, the latest MCU movie is finally going to be available without purchase or rental.

Doctor Strange 2 cheat sheet

Release date and time: Originally released on May 6, 2022, Doctor Strange 2 is now streaming on Disney Plus, having arrived at 3 a.m. ET on Wednesday, June 22.
Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, Rachel McAdams
Rating: PG-13
Running time:  2:06

Of course, Wong (Benedict Wong) is here to help, as he's the true Sorcerer Supreme. The pair are also aided by a new hero, America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez). And, unsurprisingly, Strange's feelings for Christine Palmer (Rachel McAdams) are proving to be too complicated for his heart and mind.

It's all just another day at the office, though. And the introduction of America Chavez makes us wonder if she'll be playing a bigger role in the next upcoming Marvel movies. And while we know multiverse language is still sticking around, thanks to the Loki series and the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, it's all unclear
how it all will work. Fortunately, Thor: Love and Thunder looks to put a pause on all uses of the word 'multiverse.'

Here is everything you need to know to watch Doctor Strange 2 on Disney Plus.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the latest MCU movie to arrive on Disney Plus, following Eternals and Shang-Chi. None of these movies had the Disney Plus Premier Access release that Black Widow had (which led to Scarlett Johansson suing Disney over breach of contract).

A new Doctor Strange 2 TV spot revealing possibly 2 cameos and more Professor X, because, yes, that Super Bowl ad broke our brains when we heard Patrick Stewart's voice.

In late 2020, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige teased that Doctor Strange would tie into two other Marvel projects. The first is WandaVision and Elizabeth Olsen is seen reprising her role as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch) in the teaser trailer.

A new addition is Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez, a fan-favorite teen hero from the comics.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailers

A new Doctor Strange 2 trailer teases a super-haunting vibe for the movie, with both Stephen Strange and Wanda Maximoff struggling with all-too-real dreams. 

As covered in our Super Bowl commercials live blog, the full Dr. Strange 2 trailer dropped back in January. It's got a lot of confusion, a restless Stephen Strange (who may have been arrested), a vengeful Wanda Maximoff and a voice that sounds like Patrick Stewart.

And, yes, people are wondering if that was Prof. X.

In December, Marvel debuted the teaser trailer for Doctor Strange 2 after the credits of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Which made complete sense considering Strange's unleashes multiverse when a spell to make everyone forget Peter Parker is Spider-Man goes awry.

To fix what he broke, Stephen approaches an old friend — Wanda Maximoff.
