After the surprising departure of original director Scott Derrickson, Marvel fans everywhere have been concerned about the future of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which was poised to be one of the biggest films in Phase 4. Today's news will likely quell a lot of those worries, as Variety reported today that legendary director Sam Raimi was in talks to helm the project
Raimi is a legend among superhero film fans, having helmed the classic Spider-Man trilogy that was pivotal for launching the genre to new heights. He is also renowned for his background in horror films, including Army of Darkness and the Evil Dead franchise. This lines up with the previously established theme of the movie, which Derrickson likened to a blend of superhero and horror themes.
Marvel currently has not commented on Raimi, but it is likely we'll hear something from the studio in the coming months as filming is expected to kick off in May.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is due to release May 7, 2021.
