Marvel is usually great at keeping things close to the chest, when a movie gets announce details such as casting and directing are usually kept secrete until Comic-Con or other events. However, when it comes to the upcoming Doctor Strange 2, things could not be any more open. After it was confirmed back in 2018, the movie went silent until Marvel released its new official timeline for the next phase of their cinematic universe. Doctor Strange 2 was officially renamed Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The movie is set to come out next year, characters from the original movie are set to return, the only question was who is going to direct it?

Rumors quickly started to spread that the movie was going to be directed by Sam Raimi and that the movie was going to be more of a cosmic horror style of movie. Sam Raimi is no stranger to either superhero movies or horror genre. Sam Raimi first gain fame after creating the cult classic Evil Dead movies. In the early 2000s, he became a household name after writing and directing the original Spider-man trilogy.
In an interview, while talking about Spider-man 2, Sam Raimi dropped a hint, “When we had that moment in the Spider-Man movie, I had no idea we’d be making a Doctor Strange movie. So it was really funny to me also, coincidentally that line was in the first Spider-Man movie… I wish I had the foresight to know I was going to be involved in the project!” While not flat out stating that he is directing, Sam Raimi pretty much confirms that he is involved in the project. Marvel, nor Raimi has made an official statement, but all the rumors seem to confirm Raimi as the director.
What do you guys think, what kind of movie would Sam Raimi make if given the chance? More importantly, how would Bruce Campbell be put into the movie?
