Spider-Man trilogy director Sam Raimi may take over Marvel's Doctor Strange 2

According to an exclusive report from Variety, Marvel has begun looking for a new director for "Doctor Strange 2", and this person is likely to be Sam Raimi, who directed Tobey Maguire's "Spider-Man" trilogy.

It is said that Marvel has already held talks with Sam Raimi, but Marvel officials have not commented on this. Last month, former director Scott Derrickson announced that he would step down as the director of "Doctor Strange 2" due to "creative differences" with Marvel, and would continue to serve as executive producer. In addition, "Doctor Strange 2" is scheduled to start production in May, so if Sam Raimi takes over, he will definitely work at full speed immediately.

After completing the Spider-Man trilogy, Sam Raimi did not make many works as a director, only the horror film Into Hell in 2009 and Oz the Great and Powerful in 2013. Instead, he was more active as a producer, such as the very famous Evil Dead series.

The story of "Doctor Strange 2" takes place after the events of "Avengers 4: Endgame". "Doctor Strange" (continued to be played by "Benedict Cumberbatch" Benedict Cumberbatch) will continue to study the mystery of the Time Stone. However, his former friend has now become a powerful enemy - he wants to destroy all the wizards on Earth, which disrupts Doctor Strange's plan and causes him to release an indescribable villain.

Doctor Strange 2 will be released in North America on May 7, 2021.
