During SDCC, Derrickson said this on stage, which prompted some discussion about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness being a horror movie.
While it’s true that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will have some scary moments, it’s not safe to call it the first horror movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Scott Derrickson, before directing Doctor Strange, helmed horror movies like Sinister and The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to hit theaters on May 7, 2021.
