It’s official: Sam Raimi is directing Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Scott Derrickson directed the original Doctor Strange and had been set to return for Doctor Strange 2, which was officially announced last summer during San Diego Comic-Con.
Sam Raimi has a big history with comic book movies as the director of the original live-action Spider-Man trilogy.
That left the movie in need of a director, and Marvel Studios turned to Sam Raimi to take the helm.
