It seems strangely appropriate that Doctor Strange And The Multiverse Of Madness was released on May 4, 2022, exactly 20 years and a day after director Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man movie hit cinemas back in 2002.

Superhero movies have come a long way since that very first Spidey flick, which arguably kickstarted the craze for more super- hero content in the first place, and set the foundations for the launch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) six years later with Iron Man.
