Warning: contains minor spoilers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Fans cheered when Bruce Campbell made his MCU debut this year, but his first experience with Doctor Strange's world actually appeared in the comics. Bruce Campbell has become a well-loved actor among film fans everywhere. His iconic lines from the classic Evil Dead films have catapulted him to fame due to his likable performances and cheesy one-liners. Some of his best-known roles though are his cameos in all three Sam Raimi Spider-Man films, where he made his official Marvel debut.
When Raimi was announced as the director for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, fans began speculating if Campbell would make an appearance. It's tradition for the actor to make at least a small appearance in Raimi's films, so the thought of him making a debut in the MCU excited fans.

He even got to show off his sentient hand acting skills from Evil Dead 2 again when Strange forced him to hit himself. It was a great meeting between the iconic actor and Doctor Strange...but surprisingly, Campbell has come into contact with the magic used by Strange before.
