Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessis approaching its big theatrical release in roughly a month, so it’s expected that tickets for the film will go on sale sometime soon. Now, according to a new leak, fans may just have a specific date.
Following the events ofLokiseason oneandSpider-Man: No Way Home, the 28th MCU film will follow Benedict Cumberbatch’sDoctor Strangethrough the alternate realities of the multiverse, as the sorcerer is forced to make new allies in order to defeat new enemies such as the villainous Strange Supreme. The long awaited sequel comes six years after its predecessors' release, making it the longest gap for an MCU character’s sequel.

Following the reveal of the sequel’s runtime, new reports indicate thatDoctor Strange 2tickets will apparently go on sale in the U.S. on April 6th. The news comes from box office analyst Jatinder, who noted that a similar date will be chosen for Latin America, Australia and New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. While not officially confirmed, this date would make sense, as most big blockbusters (most recentlyThe Batman) have had their tickets go on sale roughly a month before their release, giving fans plenty of time to secure them.
On the other hand, other big MCU films likeSpider-Man: No Way Homesaw a narrower window, as the ticket sales date came less than three weeks before the film’s big December 17th release, most likely due to its secretive came appearances. And with aDoctor Strangesequel that looks to live up toNo Way Home’s hype level, it’s understandable if tickets don’t go on sale until mid-April. But whatever turns out to be the case, fans can expect to see more images and possibly a final full length trailer, as new details such asDoctor Strange 2’s 148-minute runtimehave been hinted at.
After director Scott Derrickson’s departure,Spider-Man’sSam Raimi hopped on board to helm the sequel. While it would’ve been interesting to see what Derrickson would’ve cooked up,Doctor Strange 2looks to be in good hands. From its deeper exploration of the multiverse to the rumored cameos,which include Ryan Reynolds' Deadpooland Fox’s Fantastic Four, Raimi seems to have created one of the MCU’s most bonkers and expansive projects to date.
Joining Cumberbatch is Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo, Benedict Wong as Wong, and Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer. The film is also written by Michael Waldron, the screenwriter praised for his work on acclaimed shows likeRick and MortyandLoki.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnesswill arrive in theaters on July 01, 2025.
