Is ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ on HBO Max or Netflix? Where to Watch ‘Doctor Strange 2’

The neverending saga of Marvel continues this weekend with the Doctor Strange sequel, aka Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is opening in theaters this Friday.

Taking place a few months after the events of the multiverse chaos that was Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marvel’s latest finds Dr. Stephen Strange (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) exploring the strange new universes now available to him. He teams up with another Marvel favorite, Scarlet Witch (played by Elisabeth Olson), who is dealing with the fallout of her actions in the Disney+ series, WandaVision. Good thing, too, because Strange needs all the help he can get to face off with his old adversary, Karl Mordo (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor).

You don’t want to miss this next chapter in the superhero story, so here’s what you need to know about where to watch Doctor Strange 2, and when to expect Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness streaming on Disney+.

WHERE TO WATCH DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS:

UPDATE, 6/2/2022: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will stream on Disney+ beginning on June 22, 2022. Marvel Entertainment announced the Disney+ release in a tweet.

WHEN WILL DOCTOR STRANGE 2 BE STREAMING ON DISNEY PLUS?

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will be streaming on Disney+, after a little less than two months in theaters, on June 22, 2022.

Two previous Marvel releases, Eternals and Shang-Chi had about a 70-day exclusive run in theaters and then became available to stream for free on Disney+. Eternals opened in theaters on November 5 and became available to purchase on digital and free on Disney+ on January 12, about 10 weeks in theaters.

WILL DOCTOR STRANGE 2 BE ON HBO MAX?

No. Doctor Strange 2 is a Disney movie and not a Warner Bros. movie, and therefore will not be on HBO Max at the same time it is in theaters. More than that, HBO Max will no longer be streaming theatrical movies in 2022. Last year, Warner Media opted to simultaneously release its theatrical slate on streaming, meaning HBO Max subscribers could watch movies like Matrix Resurrections at home. This year, however, Warner Bros. theatrical movies will have a 45-day theaters-only run before moving to HBO Max.

IS DOCTOR STRANGE 2 ON NETFLIX?

No. Doctor Strange 2 is not streaming on Netflix and likely will never be streaming on Netflix, due to the fact that it will be streaming on Disney+ after its theatrical run. Sorry!
