Doctor Strange, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, was first introduced in the 2016 movie Captain America: Civil War. The Sorcerer Supreme's journey began in the 2017 solo movie, Doctor Strange, where we saw him master the mystic arts and become the guardian of the Earth. The sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, picks up where the first movie left off, with Strange dealing with the consequences of the events in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
