Scott Derrickson, who directed the first Doctor Strange, departed the project last month following creative differences with Marvel Studios.
According to a new report, Sam Raimi is in negotiations to take over the project with Marvel Studios.
Sam Raimi had plans for a fourth movie, but Sony ultimately went with a reboot in the form of The Amazing Spider-Man, led by Andrew Garfield.
It’s been revealed that Sam Raimi, who previously helped usher in the modern era of superhero movies with his Spider-Man trilogy, is in talks to helm the sequel.
