The event will have a special guest on hand in the form of Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson, hosted throughout by ComicBook.com’s Brandon Davis, and people are getting excited! The film debuted in 2016, introducing the Marvel Comics character to the interconnected big screen universe for the first time before he went on to appear in Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. Derrickson will be on Twitter using #QuarantineWatchParty throughout the movie, sharing insider info, fun facts, and other content from behind-the-scenes!
