Now the film is slated for release on March 25, 2022.

 Benedict Cumberbatch will return as Doctor Strange, as well as Chiwetel Ejiofor as Mordo and Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. The film will be directed by Spiderman’s Sam Raimi, since original director Scott Derrickson has since left the project.
