Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

[Opens May 6 in theaters.] Plot takes a backseat to awesome special effects and sets that dominate Sam Rami's entertaining, frenetic-paced, dark, action-packed, humor-punctuated, multilayered, violent, 3D, star-studded (Patrick Stewart, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Stuhlbarg, Daniel Swain, Davis Tse, Mark Anthony Brighton, Julian Hilliard, and Jett Klyne), 126-minute sequel in which cloak-wearing Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and his alter egos in various universes and his allies (Benedict Wong, et al.) end up trying to protect an orphaned teenager (Xochitl Gomez), who has the ability to travel to more than 72 multiverses, from a dangerous, powerful witch (Elizabeth Olsen) who longs to be a mother to two sons at any cost.
