Hospitals are becoming overwhelmed and there just isn't enough space for everyone who is sick. Right now, we can't risk a lot, and movie productions are no different. 2021 is going to be one of the busiest for Marvel studios as they are now a full year behind on their release schedule.

One of the movies that are shooting right now is the Doctor Strange sequel currently titled Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch is set to play a role in the movie after her appearance in the upcoming WandaVision. She recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and revealed that production on the Doctor Strange movie had been halted in the United Kingdom due to spiking COVID-19 cases.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, directed by Sam Rami, stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Xochitl Gomez. It will be released on March 25, 2022.
