Sam Raimi Details Reuniting With Kevin Feige For Doctor Strange 2
Director Sam Raimi has detailed his reunion and early meetings with Kevin Feige before taking the reins on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Since starting his directorial career in 1977, Raimi has become one of the most influential genre filmmakers in the industry. This is particularly true of his work in the horror genre, for which he created the iconic Evil Dead franchise. As his career progressed, Raimi worked his way to helming the original Spider-Man trilogy, which proved to be immensely successful and beloved, as evidenced by the anticipation around star Tobey Maguire’s return in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Raimi now finds himself reunited with the world of Marvel as he is helming the upcoming MCU sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. After the director of the original Doctor Strange film, Scott Derrickson, exited the project due to creative differences, Raimi was hired as his replacement — much to the delight of those familiar with his work in the genre. Despite having had somewhat of a hiatus from directing, with his last feature being Oz the Great and Powerful in 2013, Raimi has seemingly slotted back into the role with relative ease as Doctor Strange 2 is gearing up for its imminent release on May 6.
