Bruce Campbell Is Surprised His Doctor Strange 2 Cameo Made The Final Cut
Bruce Campbell discusses his Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, saying he was surprised it appeared in the final cut. The latest entry in the MCU was directed by Sam Raimi, a frequent collaborator with Campbell, with the duo most notably producing the Evil Dead trilogy that launched both of their careers. Campbell has frequently made cameo appearances in Raimi's other films, including Darkman, Oz the Great and Powerful, and the Spider-Man trilogy.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness follows the titular Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) as he attempts to protect a teenage hero (America Chavez, played by Xochitl Gomez) who has the ability to travel the multiverse and is being hunted by Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). Campbell appears in both the main film and the Multiverse of Madness post-credits scene as a vendor for a food stall seen in an alternate universe visited by Strange and Chavez. Campbell's character is enchanted by Doctor Strange to beat himself up over a misunderstanding, a nod to Campbell's role in the Evil Dead films as Ash Williams.
