In ‘Avengers: Infinity War(2018)’, when Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) puts forward a question to Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), “What is your job exactly, besides making balloon animals?”. “Protecting your reality, douchebag.”, came the blunt reply from Doctor Stephen Strange. Although he might not have been quite right with the douchebag remark, he sure was about his job. Doctor Strange made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the 2016 movie of the same name. He returns to the big screen with the sequel, ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)’. In this article, you’ll be having the ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse Of Madness’ ending explained. From being an ordinary man with an M.D., Ph.D. degree to establishing himself as one of the most powerful heroes in the MCU, he has rightfully earned the ‘Sorcerer Supreme’ tag.
