What is "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" if not "WandaVision" persevering?
Marvel fans longing for a second season of "WandaVision" can take solace knowing that the latest "Doctor Strange" film — which premiered Monday night in Hollywood — essentially functions as a sequel to the Disney+ limited series.
In addition to continuing the titular sorcerer's journey as protector of the universe — or universes, rather — the trippy superhero epic also builds directly upon the magic and the trauma of "WandaVision," starring Elizabeth Olsen as Sokovian enchantress Wanda Maximoff.
