Someone suggested this. I thought no way. Color me wrong.

Sam Raimi, who helped launch the modern superhero movie with 2002’s “Spider-Man,” is in talks to direct “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” for Marvel Studios, Variety has learned.

Raimi replaces original director Scott Derrickson, who Variety reported on Jan. 9 had officially departed the project due to creative differences. Derrickson will remain as an executive producer. Raimi, meanwhile, will need to get up to speed before the film’s scheduled production start date in May.

That's very interesting. Raimi brought a very "comic book-y" style to Spiderman (and Darkman) that really hasn't been part of the MCU. I like Raimi but it will be interesting to see if/how he brings the 60's psychedelic sensibility to the screen.



I did enjoy the way the brought expressed other planes in the first movie.

That's perfect. I hope it happens.

Excellent choice! And the bonus is...he can't screw up the casting of the lead character, since he's already cast.

awesome news!
how great would a Ditko-esque take be???

and personally I thought his casting was spot on for the spidey films except for venom

My thoughts exactly, very excited for this. Spiderman 2 is a great superhero movie IMO.
