Sam Raimi to Direct ‘Doctor Strange 3' — World of Reel

Raimi only came on board the last 'Doctor Strange' after original director Scott Derrickson parted ways with Marvel due to “creative differences.” The script had many rewrites up to that point — an actor claimed it had been rewritten 33 times.

Sam Raimi is staying in the MCU as he’s all but closed a dealdirect ‘Doctor Strange 3’ (via The InSneider).

In July, Raimi signed on to direct the horror thriller “Send Help.” It remains unclear whether Raimi will direct that movie first, or ‘Doctor Strange 3.’Here’s hoping he chooses the horror-thriller.

I also wish Raimi more luck in directing this latest ‘Doctor Strange’ movie than the last one. “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” although it grossed $955M worldwide, was not that well received critically or by fans and had a pre-production filled with drama.

    Does anyone actually watch MCU movies anymore…?

    Plenty or the wheels would come off such expensive productions (they have lost a chunk of change from a few recent films but, overall, aren’t suffering). Personally, I’ll go and see every one in the cinema - I’ve liked a lot, disliked a few (The Marvels gets a lot of hate but I rather enjoyed it, which can’t be said for the most recent Ant-Man and Black Panther films).

      You know they have canceled the majority of the Disney Plus shows they had in the pipeline, and in production, right…? The wheels came off, a year ago.

      This article takes a rosier view by not listing all the shows they canceled or permanently delayed, like Iron Heart, but you can find a complete list if you’re so inclined to search for a few minutes.

        It was posted here a couple of days ago.

        Edit: different issue (that one is from a few months ago). The cancellations and delays are the right move - as I’ve said many times on here, they were generating content not actual producing quality films and TV shows (if some of them were good it was almost by accident) and the same applies to Star Ward too (which has been badly managed) - no-one was curious about what Kenobi did between then PT and OT, they just spotted an opportunity to bung out a few hours of TV.
