The 2018 miniseriesPatrick Melrosestarred Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular protagonist . The series was well - welcome , withCumberbatch ’s execution picture the complexity and tragedy of Melrose , a homo of wealth and privilege who make out with an extremely traumatic upbringing and drug addiction , using the latter , along with his bodily fluid , to avoid the self-examination he needs to heal from his hurt .

Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness' Trauma Story Didn’t Hit The Right Mark

Multiverse Of Madnesshandled many elements of Doctor Strange ’s role well , name his past behaviour into question . Strange knowingly direct the result ofAvengers : Infinity WarandAvengers : Endgameto insure Thanos ’s frustration , albeit at the cost of Tony Stark ’s life sentence . likewise , Strange was willing to send multiversal Spider - Man adversaries to their deaths inNo Way Home , andMultiverse Of Madnessestablishes that Strange ’s willingness to make virtuously confutative decision comes at a price , with two different iterations ofDoctor Strange get incursionsthat threaten the multiverse itself .

The eventual thirdDoctor Strangefilm will need to delve into Stephen Strange ’s pastand add up to terms with his contradicting sentiment of end and sacrifice . Just as multiple variant of Doctor Strange have make incursion due to their use of the Darkhold and Dreamwalking , the select MCU iteration of Strange appears to have done the same due to his desperation to vote down the Scarlet Witch . foreign may have to grapple with newfound guilt over have the dying of an entire universe by Dreamwalking , give up a thirdDoctor Strangefilm to take full vantage of Benedict Cumberbatch ’s superb acting science .
