To fully appreciate the new film, viewers should be familiar with events in Spider-Man: No Way Home, where Doctor Strange's spell mishap leads to multiverse chaos by allowing alternate dimensional characters, like other Peter Parkers, to enter the primary universe. Additionally, Marvel's animated series What If...? explores alternate realities of beloved heroes, introducing variations like Captain Carter and a darker Doctor Strange, who may appear in the movie. Loki's series on Disney+ is crucial in explaining the multiverse's existence by unraveling the Time Variance Authority's role in maintaining timelines, which collapses, leading to the multiverse's current disarray. Finally, WandaVision, another Disney+ series, is vital as it showcases Wanda Maximoff's emotional struggle, creating alternate realities to cope with loss, concluding with her pursuit of actual dimensions where her imagined sons exist, thus evolving Wanda into the Scarlet Witch.đ° Box Office Performance Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) achieved significant global box office success, grossing approximately $955.8 million worldwide.
