    The filmmaker who helmed the original ‘Spider-Man’ trilogy fronted by Tobey Maguire has been signed up to sit behind the lens for the upcoming ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’.
    Apr 17, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Filmmaker Sam Raimi has finally confirmed he’s onboard to direct the upcoming sequel, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”.
    Raimi, who helmed Tobey Maguire’s original “Spider-Man” trilogy, has long been rumoured to be involved with the project, and told website ComingSoon.net he finds it “very funny” how he’s ended up working on the movie following a particularly prophetic line in 2004’s “Spider-Man 2”.
    In the film, J.K. Simmons’ character J. Jonah Jameson is trying to come up with a catchy name for Dr. Otto Octavius, and one of the suggestions is Doctor Strange.
    “That’s pretty good,” Jameson says. “But it’s taken!”
    “When we had that moment in Spider-Man 2, I had no idea that we would ever be making a Doctor Strange movie,” Raimi told the publication. “It was really funny to me that coincidentally that line was in the movie.”
    “I wish we had the foresight to know that I was going to be involved in the project.”
    Explaining his attraction to the Marvel franchise, he added, “I loved Doctor Strange as a kid, but he was always after Spider-Man and Batman for me… He was probably at number five for me of great comic book characters. He was so original.”
    It was previously revealed that Benedict Cumberbatch’s titular sorcerer will be joined by Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch for the follow-up to the hit 2016 movie, “Doctor Strange”.
    “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” hits theatres on November 5, 2021

      The ‘Spider-Man’ director is in talks with Marvel Studios to helm ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ after Scott Derrickson stepped down due to ‘creative differences.’
      Feb 6, 2020
      AceShowbiz – More than a decade after successfully bringing the lore of Spider-Man to big screen, Sam Raimi is about to re-enter Marvel Universe. The filmmaker has been named a potential director for “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”.
      According to Variety which first reported the news, the 60-year-old director is currently in talks with Marvel Studios for the gig. He is touted to replace Scott Derrickson, who stepped down from the directing role in January of this year due to “creative differences.”
      “Marvel and I have mutually agreed to part ways on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness due to creative differences,” Derrickson confirmed his departure via Instagram. “I am thankful for out collaboration,” he continued, adding that he would remain on the project as an executive producer.
      Production on the film is due to begin in May 2020 and Marvel has stated that they don’t expect this schedule to be affected by the change in directors. The studio, however, has not commented on Raimi’s possible involvement in the “Doctor Strange” sequel.
      Raimi is no stranger to Marvel’s superhero, having directed the “Spider-Man” trilogy for Sony Pictures, with Tobey Maguire as the web-slinger a.k.a. Peter Parker. The filmmaker, who is also known for creating the cult horror “Evil Dead” series, then returned to his roots by directing 2009’s supernatural horror film “Drag Me to Hell”. His last directing gig was for 2013’s “Oz the Great and Powerful”.
      He has since been focused on his producing role, with his works on other horror films including the 2013 “Evil Dead” reboot, 2015’s “Poltergeist”, 2019’s “Crawl” and the 2020 “The Grudge” movie.
      Benedict Cumberbatch is on board to reprise his role as the Sorcerer Supreme a.k.a. the title character in the “Doctor Strange” sequel, with Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, being expected to appear in the film. Jade Bartlett was hired in October as the writer for “Doctor Strange 2”, which is slated for a May 7, 2021 release in the United States.
