Sam Raimi Might Be Directing DR STRANGE 2 and Prometheus is Pumped!

 

Hey, guys! Prometheus here with some Marvel Universe news!!!

Confirmed by Deadline earlier today, Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Spider-Man) is in talks with Marvel to direct the upcoming DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS! It was said that Marvel wants to go with more of a horror tone for this film, so bringing in Raimi makes total sense! 

He’s no stranger to the superhero genre, either, practically pioneering it (commercially anyway) with Spider-Man in 2002. Yes, I’m aware other superhero films existed prior, but none enjoyed the same degree of success that Spider-Man did, so again, Raimi makes sense. 

Scott Derrickson recently exited the project due to creative differences, leaving the door open, and leaving Marvel looking for a new director.  Derrickson will be staying on as executive producer, however. 

I liked what Derrickson did with the first Dr. Strange, but now I am oh so curious to see what Raimi can do! I have just one request… 

Can we get a Bruce Campbell cameo? Sam? You hear me, out there? Anyways, what do you guys think out there? Is Sam Raimi a good fit for DR. STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS? Talk to me in the comments below and feel free to share the following hashtag to the Twittersphere!
