Bruce Campbell & Sam Raimi's Friendship Stunned Doctor Strange 2 Crew
Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi’s trash-talking surprised the crew during the filming of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Campbell and Raimi’s work relationship stretches back to the first three Evil Dead films. After making a name for himself in the horror genre, Raimi famously directed Sony’s Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire beginning in 2002. Campbell had iconic cameos in all three of those films, playing the Ring Announcer in Spider-Man, the «Snooty Usher» in Spider-Man 2, and a Maître d' in Spider-Man 3. He even would've had a cameo in Spider-Man 4 had it moved forward.
Earlier this year, Raimi made his long-awaited return to the comic book genre courtesy of Multiverse of Madness, which utilized his horror talents. The film follows Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) as he attempts to protect the universe-jumping America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) from the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen), who aims to steal her powers so that she can have a not-so-wholesome reunion with her children. Before Multiverse of Madness was released in theaters, longtime fans held out hope that Raimi would use the film as a vehicle to reunite with Campbell and continue their cameo tradition.
