Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Attention, Marvel fans, some good news. Doctor Strange’s UK release date has been moved forward, changing from 28 October to 25 October.

The Scott Derrickson-directed flick will reach cinemas on a Tuesday rather than Friday, an unusual move considering the likes of Captain America: Civil War and Ant-Man were released towards the tail end of the week.

American fans of Benedict Cumberbatch fans will have to wait a little longer to see the film, the US release date remaining 4 November.

Recently, set photos from Thor: Ragnarok have revealed a surprising link to Doctor Strange while Tilda Swinton has defended her casting in the film against whitewashing accusations.

Doctor Strange also stars Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Mordo, Michael Stuhlbarg as Nicodemus West, Benedict Wong as Wong, and Mads Mikkelsen as Kaecililius. New footage of Mikkelsen’s villain debuted in the film’s first TV spot early last month.
