Into the Multiverse of Madness
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness arrives in cinemas today! Early reviews of the film hail it as “a dark and wildly imaginative creation” and “totally madcap and insane” adding that it’s “easily the scariest MCU entry thus far.” Earlier this week, Marvel released another video clip to tease the films release…
Huge congratulations to VFX Supervisor Alexis Wajsbrot and the teams in both London and Mumbai, as well as Stephen Nakamura and all at Company 3 for their finishing touches. We’re all champing at the bit to see it on the big screen, and we’re all supremely jealous of those of you who made it to yesterday’s cast and crew screening! If you haven’t watched the trailer yet then make sure to give it a squiz to find out what Marvel has in store for you…
