A few days ago, we wondered if Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness would make it to Disney+ out of the box or if it would take a few months to land on the Mickey Mouse platform. For those who need to see it, let them know that the release date is May 6th.
If you can’t afford an expensive movie ticket or don’t have Disney+ to enjoy its upcoming premiere, today we offer you a selection of options that follow the aesthetic or plot of Doctor Strange. (Always referred to as Marvel’s Wizard Supreme in Spain).
Just don’t expect these options to be the same. Not at all. Options we bring to you that transport you to worlds different from ours. Either because they’re weird, alternative, or very psychedelic. Some are classic works, others are more modern. And one is the key to understanding everything.
The final amount is 6 movies and a series. Because if we want to experience something like what Doctor Strange gave us in the Multiverse of Madness, the ideal is to go to the movies. Although the series may be the key to understanding the new movie as we described in the previous paragraph.

Fear and Hate in Vegas
Sportswriter Raoul Duke and his lawyer, Dr. Gonzo goes to Las Vegas to report a motorcycle race. His red convertible is equipped with all kinds of stimulant drugs and a range of doping plants. This will take them on a mind-blowing physical and mental journey through decadent 1970s America.
If you want a psychedelic movie, look no further, this is a prime example of the crazy movies of the last century.. Released in 1998, this movie is an adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s 1971 book of the same name.
For book lovers, this adaptation does not disappoint. The film directed by Terry Gilliam has a dream cast: Johnny Depp, Benicio del Toro, Craig Bierko, Tobey Maguire, Christina Ricci… The result is pretty good.
As good as it is now it’s available in the cult film Film. And it doesn’t exceed two hours, so it’s your time.

Alice in Wonderland
Disney
Alicia, a 19-year-old girl, attends a party at a Victorian mansion, where she discovers she is about to receive a marriage proposal in front of a group of uptight socialites. Alice then escapes, chasing after a white rabbit, going into a hole after her… and falling into Wonderland, which she visited 10 years ago but doesn’t remember.
Putting up a synopsis of this movie is one of the biggest stupid things we’ve done in all the time the magazine has done., but the absolutely ignorant person does not know the plot of one of the most famous books in fantasy history. That’s it for the psychedelic world, look no further.
This adaptation of Alice in Wonderland is from 2010 and features top players. We see Johnny Depp again because no one plays crazy like him, but we have fun too: Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Mia Wasikowska.
Despite its psychedelic side, this is more watchable with family, as we are talking about an adaptation of the Lewis Carroll novel that millions of boys and girls have read in the last century. Available on Disney+.

- Release date: 2010

orange clock
Great Britain in an uncertain future. Alex is a very aggressive young man with two passions: unbridled violence and Beethoven. He is the head of the apothecary gang who unleashed their wildest instincts, beating, raping and terrorizing the population.
When this escalation of terrorism leads to murder, Alex is arrested and will voluntarily go through an innovative re-education experience in prison that aims to largely eradicate any antisocial behavior. If you want madness in an alternate world, this is your movie.
A Clockwork Orange (1971) manager Stanley Kubrick has reached the directors’ Olympus and immortalized one of the scariest visions of the future.. This uncertain future is one of those futures that yesterday’s geniuses fear to live in, as we saw in George Orwell’s 1984.
The movie is available fixed on HBO Max and ready to rent on Apple TV+, Rakuten TV or Prime Video. The last two hours and ten are worth it.

Easy Rider (1969) is a classic film about the sixties unlike anything else, reflecting the ideas, dreams and way of life of an era. Also what alternative life might have been like back then and how it changed depending on where you are.
It is the least rare, but We can no longer recommend it to you as it is a work of art.. If you want to go on a crazy journey, give it a try.

wandavision
Disney
Scarlet Witch and Vision (also known as Wandavision) combines the classic sitcom style with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Wanda Maximoff and Vision are two superheroes living their ideal daily lives, but they begin to suspect that all is not as it seems.
This is the only show on the list and the only one that could influence the story of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness—much too.because Scarlet Witch is one of the main characters in the new Marvel movie.
The series was a bombshell for Marvel, as it was the work that started the Marvel universe in serial format in capital letters. For the first time at Disney, they brought us a big story in a series with the protagonists of the universe.
It tells a fun, original, rare Marvel must-see story and offers an alternate world that undoubtedly has a lot to do with the great Doctor Strange movie. You have to see it because there are only 9 episodes of 25 minutes.
- Title: wandavision
- Release date: 2021
- Duration: 25 minute episodes
- platform:Disney+

Destiny
A special agent of a secret department of the government, an agency created in the ’80s that allows time travel, will have to jump back in time through a complex series of times to stop an individual known as the “failed terrorist”. Who is planting bombs across the country with thousands of victims.
On one of his trips to the ’70s, an undercover bartender agent meets a man who tells her an extraordinary story… Despite the movie’s good budget and competent cast, this sci-fi movie didn’t do much at the box office.
Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook carry the weight of the movie elegantly and effectively. Despite the mix of genres and clear inspirations (Minority Report, after all), the film is a success. It’s now on Netflix, but soon switching platforms.
