\u201cI knew I was going to be in Doctor Strange 2 when I learned about WandaVision,\u201d she revealed. \u201cBut I didn\u2019t know to what capacity at all. I don\u2019t think they knew either.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I think it was about two months before we finished WandaVision that I was told the plot of Doctor Strange 2,\u201d she continued, adding that she only ever saw the final shooting script and had never seen its origins.<\/p>\n

Asked if the film could be seen as a sequel to WandaVision, she responded \u201cI think for Wanda, it definitely feels that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that fans should definitely make sure they\u2019d already seen the series before heading to the cinema, and said that the first Doctor Strange film, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame could also be considered required viewing.<\/p>\n\n\u201cBut if not, I do think we try and also do little light brushstrokes of exposition without being too heavy-handed,\u201d she said. \u201cSo that people can come in and watch this without having seen the other films. And yeah, it is definitely a piece of where we left off from WandaVision for Wanda.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cThere\u2019s also a progression,\u201d she added. \u201cIt is, you know, we find this woman who has had the experiences that she\u2019s had in Westview, and also, what she\u2019s learned from that entire experience was that she is a mythic person, that her destiny is to be the Scarlet Witch.<\/p>\n\u201cShe\u2019s not a result of a human experiment. But she\u2019s actually innately born to be this woman. And that is where she starts Doctor Strange, and that is new. But it is also connected to what we learned in WandaVision.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAdditional reporting by Huw Fullerton.<\/em><\/p>\nRead The Big RT Interview with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness director Sam Raimi on\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/radiotimes.com\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""nofollow noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\" ugc=\"\">RadioTimes.com<\/a>\u00a0this Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\nDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness comes to UK cinemas on the 6th May 2022.\u00a0<\/strong>For more, check out our dedicated\u00a0<a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/"\">Sci-Fi<\/a>\u00a0page or our full\u00a0<a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/"\">TV Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\nThe latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\" data-auth=\""NotApplicable"\" data-linkindex=\""0"\">subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.
