No Marvel Studios film is ever going to come close to 2019's Avengers: Endgame in sheer scale and scope and that's okay, but it doesn't mean that Disney is ever going to stop trying. If Spider-Man: No Way Home told us one thing, it's that the House of Mouse will stop at nothing to try and replicate that success, even if it means crossing universes. After seeing three Spider-Man actors appear on-screen at the same time, recreating memes and fulfilling every Spider-Man fan's wet dream and all, it appears that audiences might want to prepare for a smorgasbord of cameos and easter eggs for Benedict Cumberbatch's return as Doctor Strange in May.
According to the Brazilian ticketing website, Ingresso, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will run 148 minutes long, which is the same length as No Way Home. This would imply that Cumberbatch wasn't lying that the Doctor Strange sequel will at least match MCU's most recent big-screen outing in runtime, ultimately a sign of good things to come.
Doctor Strange 2 promises to pick up exactly where No Way Home left off, with Tom Holland's Peter Parker asking Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange to erase any memory of Peter Parker's existence from everyone. After opening the metaphorical and literal door to the universe, the Doctor Strange sequel will deal with the sequences of the former Sorcerer Supreme's tampering with the little-known concept that is the multiverse. Naturally, fans believed that the upcoming MCU film is going to have plenty of cameos and the 148-minute runtime helps prove that.
