When it comes to the superhero movie genre, Sam Raimi<\/a> is no stranger to the world of comic book stories in Hollywood. From bringing the first Spider-Man trilogy to the big screen, the filmmaker has also taken on one of the biggest heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Raimi, who helmed Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/a>, recently opened up about a big regret he had with the 2022 film in an interview with Total Film<\/a>. After working with Rachel McAdams on the MCU installment, he stressed how \u201cFirst, she was the perfect person because she\u2019s such a brilliant actress.<\/p>\n

He elaborated by saying, “I had a chance to work with her on my last film and saw how talented she was and actually underutilized,” referring to her return as Christine Palmer, including a variant. Raimi shared that, “I promised myself that I would work with her again. And then this film came up, and her warmth is wonderful,” as Send Help<\/a> has now opened in theaters, where she co-stars alongside Dylan O’Brien.<\/p>\n

Sam Raimi: The fact that she has not really played a dark, terrible villain before, [producer Zainab Azizi] is the one that told me this, really sets the audience up to be surprised.<\/p>\n

While Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness grossed $955 million at the worldwide box office, a third installment has yet to go forward officially at Marvel Studios at the time of this story’s publication. With the remaining upcoming Marvel movies<\/a> for Phase 6, a sequel will likely not happen until after The Multiverse Saga is over.<\/p>\n

Even though Doctor Strange 3<\/a> isn’t formally on the table yet, Stephen Strange will be back sooner than later. Benedict Cumberbatch will be back for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, with the Phase 6 finale set to start filming this summer, featuring the Russo brothers back as the directors. <\/p>\n

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is available through home media release and on streaming, with Raimi’s Send Help now playing in theaters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When it comes to the superhero movie genre, Sam Raimi is no stranger to the world of comic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":456258,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[88,206],"class_list":{"0":"post-456257","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456257\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
