Doctor Strange 2 Will Make Evil Dead 2 Fans Happy, Says Kevin Feige
President of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige has stated that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will make Evil Dead 2 fans very happy. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will be the second standalone Doctor Strange film in the MCU.

The first film in the franchise is considered by some to have redefined the horror genre. The second two films in the series are where Raimi truly honed his skill for combining horror and comedy, particularly in Evil Dead 2, which acts as almost more of a parody of the first film than a sequel. Over the years, Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy has gained quite a cult following.
