Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the 2022 Marvel Studios live-action feature film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name.
The official synopsis tells us that with this film the MCU unlocks the Multiverse and pushes its boundaries further than ever before.

The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Xochitl Gomez, with Michael Stahlberg, and Rachel McAdams. All actors are returning from the previous film, except for Gomez who joins as America Chavez, the modern-day counterpart to the golden age hero Miss America.
Sam Raimi, a key figure in building Marvel's Hollywood brand as the director of the first three Spider-Man movies, is set to direct. He's working from a screenplay by Michael Waldron.
WandaVision is a 2021 TV series developed for Disney+ spinning directly out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The show continues the romantic pairing Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff (The Scarlet Witch) and Paul Bettany's Vision. The show will also feature the adult version of Monica Rambeau (played by Teyonah Parris), who previously appeared as a child in the Captain Marvel movie. Other MCU alumni in the cast include Kat Dennings (Thor) and Russell Park (Ant-Man and the Wasp).
Matt Shakman of Game of Thrones fame is directing the series, which is written by Jac Schaeffer, who also penned the Black Widow script.
Disney+ provides this synopsis for the show: The series is a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff and Vision--two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives--begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems.
Word is that the events of this show will lead directly into the Doctor Strange sequel and will feature The Scarlet Witch.
