Watch the Doctor Strange movies in release order, starting with Doctor Strange (2016) and continuing through Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022). The series spans 2 films, released between 2016 and 2022. Audiences rate the franchise 7.3/10 on average.
For most viewers, release order is the recommended way to watch Doctor Strange. This is how the story was crafted and revealed to audiences — earlier films seed details, callbacks, and twists that pay off in later entries. Watching in release order preserves those reveals and matches the pacing the filmmakers intended.
Doctor Strange largely tracks its own in-universe chronology, so release order and chronological order overlap closely. You can use either without losing much, though release order is still the safest first watch.
This series tells the story of neurosurgeon Stephen Strange who, after losing the ability to use his hands after a car accident, seeks the help of The Ancient One to become a Master of the Mystic Arts known as Doctor Strange.
