About the Doctor Strange watch order

The Doctor Strange movies in order are Doctor Strange (2016) and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022). Benedict Cumberbatch plays Dr. Stephen Strange in both.

Between the two films, Strange helps Thor in Ragnarok and guards the Time Stone in the Avengers films. He also casts the spell that goes wrong in Spider-Man No Way Home.

Multiverse of Madness also continues Wanda's story from WandaVision, so watch that series first.
