Sam Raimi is staying in the MCU as he’s all but closed a dealdirect ‘Doctor Strange 3’ (via The InSneider).

In July, Raimi signed on to direct the horror thriller “Send Help.” It remains unclear whether Raimi will direct that movie first, or ‘Doctor Strange 3.’Here’s hoping he chooses the horror-thriller.

I also wish Raimi more luck in directing this latest ‘Doctor Strange’ movie than the last one. “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” although it grossed $955M worldwide, was not that well received critically or by fans and had a pre-production filled with drama.

Raimi only came on board ‘Multiverse of Madness’ after original director Scott Derrickson parted ways with Marvel due to “creative differences.” The script had many rewrites up to that point — an actor in the film claimed it had been rewritten 33 times.

    Good news, if true. I enjoyed DS2 even if it got a bit messy in the collision with Wandavision (best of that Phase). Giving him a clear run at DS3 should really help give him the best opportunity to deliver as good a film as he can.

      Agreed. Sam Raimi is perhaps the most consistently good comic book film director. He just gets the campy tone.

      Also that Bruce Campbell cameo was 🤌
