Profile The host of the Platinum Awards who lives with the stars of film and television
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
is a highly anticipated film by lovers of science fiction and superhero movies in general and Marvel in particular.
Here we give
four keys (without spoilers)
of a film that opens in theaters on May 6 and has everything to sweep the box office.

A VERY EXPANDED UNIVERSE
The multiverse is a concept that offers millions of possibilities.
If the characters we meet have other selves in parallel universes, bringing them together or having them cross over from one to another allows the original story to be expanded.
In
Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness
the basic premise is that
Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch)
helps
America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez)
to face
Wanda / Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen)
, whom we discover as a great villain in the series.
Scarlet Witch and Vision
.
Uniting that series with this movie illustrates the
goals that Marvel Studios is pursuing in its Phase 4
.
If we add to this that (although it is from Sony and not from Disney) in
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Strange had a very prominent participation, we will understand the
new situation in which the Marvel Cinematic Universe finds itself.
Benedict Cumberbatch brings to life various versions of Stephen Strange.
THE SAM RAIMI TOUCH
Sam Raimi,
for many
fans of suspense and science fiction
, is the closest thing to a God.
His are
Hell Possession
,
Terrifyingly Dead
or
Army of Darkness
.
As well as
three installments of
Spider-Man
that made him perfect for the big bosses of Disney to consider him the
best possible choice
for a new film installment of the adventures of Stephen Strange.
And, as his fans know, here are key factors of the Raimi universe.
That is to say,
black humor, very physical gags, respect for classic horror with variations and extreme planning.
If we add winks to mythical titles to that,
it would only be necessary to know if Bruce Campbell appears
.
Search, maybe he appears...
Xochitl Gomez brings America Chavez to life.
SPANISH IS SPOKEN HERE
Yes, as they read it.
The first words
heard in
Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness
(in the original version)
are in Spanish
.
They are pronounced by Xochitl Gomez, in charge of giving life to
America Chávez and, surprise, Benedict Cumberbatch
.
A detail that draws attention and that continues the path begun not so long ago by Disney of embracing multiculturalism.
Here there is diversity on issues of race, spiritual beliefs and even sexuality
in a small but significant detail.
Although it must be said that the Castilian that is heard at the beginning is just another detail that does not have much travel.
Elizabeth Olsen brings to life the villain of the role.
BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH
Leaving aside his loss at the Oscars to Will Smith despite his brilliant performance in
The Power of the Dog
,
Benedict Cumberbatch is experiencing a great moment in his career.
Capable of participating in projects as different as
Brexit,
1917 , the
Avengers
saga
or
The Mauritanian
,
it seems that the English actor wanted to improve himself.
In this Marvel movie, for example, he plays
various versions of Stephen Strange
.
And, not to reveal anything, in front of actors in iconic characters from recent superhero movies.
