Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness 6/4 to smash the Box Office this year
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to release on the 5th of May, with Benedict Cumberbatch's character popular amongst fans and critics alike.
Bookmakers have put the film straight to the top of the Highest Grossing Film Worldwide betting odds for 2022.
Avatar 2, the sequel to James Cameron's Box Office Mega Hit Avatar, is a close second favourite in the odds in what looks like a competitive year in film.
| Highest Grossing Film Worldwide 2022
|
Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness | 6/4 | 40% |
| Avatar 2 | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Thor: Love and Thunder | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Black Panther: Wakanda Forever | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| The Batman | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Mission Impossible 7 | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Superhero films tend to smash Box Office figures and the latest Spider-Man film released towards the end of 2021 proved that spectacularly.
With more than $1.8b made by the film, it beat the nearest competitor by $1b, with Tom Holland and co making it one of the most successful Marvel films there's been.
Doctor Strange appeared in that Spider-Man movie, so that may help fans be even more interested in his own film coming out in May.
Avatar 2 set to be a big rival for Doctor Strange
Avatar 2 has been one of the most anticipated movies of the last decade following the success of the first film.
Avatar saw film come into a new era, becoming one of the big players in the 3D movie scene that became predominant in the late naughties.
Director James Cameron has long been a cinematic great when it comes to the films he creates and that was shown perfectly in Avatar.
The film remains the highest grossing movie of all-time, with a lifetime gross of $2.8b putting it just ahead of Avengers: Endgame at $2.7b.
Such success makes you feel that Avatar 2 will be massive when it comes to cinema this year, with critics and fans scrambling to see the movie when it's eventually released.
With an overall gross of $2,847,246,203, it remains to be seen if any film can beat Avatar's record though.

More Marvel films feature in the betting market
Marvel films are arguably the most popular films that are released in the modern era, with the whole Avengers crew exciting filmgoers every time a new one is released.
The betting market is dominated by Marvel movies, with Doctor Strange heading the odds at 6/4 as said earlier.
The latest Black Panther film is sure to be a success, with the last movie in the franchise making $1.3b in gross profit since its release.
Also in the market is Thor: Love and Thunder, with the last Thor film Ragnorak making over $850m at the box office.
It's fair to say that Marvel have a great chance of getting the highest grossing film of 2022.
