The film takes place after the events of Doctor Strange 2, where he last appeared. According to the second post-credit of that film, Strange, now with a third eye, travels to the Dark dimension with Clea, played by Charlize Theron, to solve some incursions caused by him. In the current phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, incursions play a role in progressing the Multiverse Saga.

There is no date announced for the release, and, since this film is going to be part of the Multiverse Saga, it might be slated between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
