Anyway, it looks like Marvel Studios has found their replacement. Variety reports that Sam Raimi, the creative mind who made the fantastic Spider-Man 1 and Spider-Man 2 and the laughable Spider-Man 3, all starring Tobey Maguire, is currently in talks with the studio to helm Doctor Strange 2 / Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
While it’s a bummer that Scott Derickson left the project, nobody is going to complain about Sam Raimi coming on board. He makes really cool movies. Apart from the original Spider-Man trilogy, Raimi is also the helmer of the first three Evil Dead movies which have attained cult status over the years. Raimi hasn’t done much as a director in recent years, apart from the mediocre Oz the Great and the Powerful. However, there’s no denying the excitement that his name would bring to the project. Doctor Strange 2 is still scheduled to go on floors in May 2020.
