Director and screenwriter Scott Derrickson said he did Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness would only do if it becomes a film that is based on the horror elements from the comics. Then there were supposedly creative differences and he and co-author C. Robert Cargill left the project.

Was the movie too scary?

Now C. Robert Cargill explained that he and Scott Derrickson had no opportunity to write a screenplay for the film. This suggests that the idea of ​​making a Marvel film with horror elements didn't go down well. Now Sam Raimi is supposed to take the helm and shoot the film based on a new script to be written by Michael Waldron, who also wrote the episodes for Marvel's Disney + series "Loki".

It seems a bit strange, however, that Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, Drag me to Hell) now wants to bring a horror expert on board, but the film actually has to be family-friendly. How that fits together and what now from Doctor Strange (buy now for € 9.99) We'll see in The Multiverse Of Madness.
