In Doctor Strange 3: Time Runs Out, Benedict Cumberbatch returns as the Sorcerer Supreme, now confronted with a collapsing multiverse where time itself is fracturing. After the aftermath of Multiverse of Madness, Strange faces consequences not only of his own choices but of ripples spreading across realities. As timelines begin to collide, Strange must ally with unexpected figures — including Clea (Charlize Theron) and an older version of himself — to prevent a catastrophic temporal implosion.
Director Sam Raimi blends horror-tinged sequences with cosmic spectacle, delivering haunting visuals and mind-bending set pieces that rival Inception and Avengers: Endgame. The film dives deeper into Strange’s moral complexity, exploring his fear of becoming a villain to save the world.
The performances are top-tier. Cumberbatch brings gravitas and vulnerability, while Theron’s Clea is a commanding presence with secrets of her own. The film also teases major MCU implications, laying groundwork for Secret Wars.
Though its narrative may feel dense at times, Doctor Strange 3 rewards attentive viewers with emotional depth, thrilling cameos, and philosophical themes on fate, control, and sacrifice.
