As we previously reported, the only real surprise here is having Doctor Strange 2 take place after the events of Eternals. Yes, Eternals was released in theaters before Multiverse of Madness, but fans have fairly argued that Doctor Strange and the Masters of the Mystic Arts should’ve been aware of what happened in Eternals – and so far, there’s no good really good explanation as to why they didn’t. Of course, that explanation could be as easy as Doctor Strange 2’s events happen in such close proximity to Eternals there was no time. As always with the MCU, the devil is in the details (and that’s not a Mephisto reference). 

As further stated, this timeline update won’t last long, with Thor: Love and Thunder just weeks away from release. There’s also She-Hulk, that mysterious Halloween special, and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special all coming in 2022 – not to mention Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. So again, don’t get too attached to the current MCU timeline, as it’s gonna get shifty, real quick. 

You can catch Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Ms. Marvel streaming on Disney+.
