Sam Raimi to Direct ‘Doctor Strange 3' — World of Reel

Raimi only came on board the last 'Doctor Strange' after original director Scott Derrickson parted ways with Marvel due to “creative differences.” The script had many rewrites up to that point — an actor claimed it had been rewritten 33 times.

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.

    I wasn’t really sold on the MCU from the beginning, as I wasn’t a fan of the Iron Man comics. I saw it anyway, at the behest of a good friend (who actually did like the comics) and I was blown away. After that, if a Marvel movie came out, I went and saw it, whether or not I cared for (or even knew) the source material. This got me to some great experiences I would have never imagined liking, ie: Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man.

    But for me I started looking a bit more critically after the release of Iron Man 3. I thought it sucked, so I realized then that although the MCU has a disproportionate number of real winners, it can still have losers, it’s not a given. So I would wait to see what public opinion was before I’d spend money to see it in a theater. I still saw a lot of them in the theater. Most of them. Right up until Avengers Age of Ultron. I hated that movie so much that I’ve never seen another Marvel movie in a theater since. I’ve seen most of them after their theatrical run, streaming - some have been quite good, most have not.

    So yeah. Big fan of the comics when I was a kid. Reluctant fan of the MCU turned enthusiastic - then turned reluctant again. I still haven’t seen Deadpool and Wolverine yet, but it’s on the agenda.
