“Doctor Strange 2” screenwriter Michael Waldron knows a thing or two about the multiverse. He first burst onto the scene as a writer on the beloved animated series “Rick and Morty” and was in line to become the show’s new showrunner, that is until Marvel Studios came calling asking if he wanted to head up a live-action TV show about Tom Hiddleston’s trickster villain Loki.It was while working on the Disney+ series “Loki” that Waldron was offered the opportunity to take a crack at a few different things all in one project: Marvel’s first horror movie, a Sam Raimi movie and a “Doctor Strange” sequel.

(Warning: This post features spoilers for “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”Fresh off a massive opening weekend box office, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is proving to be one of the more divisive Marvel movies in recent memory. Fans seem to be split over the decision to peg Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff as the antagonist in the sequel – a fact that was obscured in the marketing, but one many expected given the character’s transformation into the Scarlet Witch in the comics.But the shift from hero to antagonist proved difficult for some fans to swallow coming off the character’s deeply empathetic portrayal in “WandaVision,” which explored how her grief over Vision’s death manifested in holding an entire town hostage.

NEW YORK -- Relief was just starting to wash over director Sam Raimi the morning after the premiere of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”The film, which opens in theaters Friday, has been a headlong sprint for the 62-year-old, who took over two and a half years ago after Scott Derrickson departed the project over creative differences. Raimi had a script to retool but an unmovable shooting timeline to meet.“Every part of this moviemaking process has been great, but every part of the process went on too long and became a little too intense,” explained Raimi, speaking by Zoom from Los Angeles.

As Jim Orr, Universal’s distribution head said in introducing Tuesday night’s CinemaCon screening of their upcoming late June release, The Black Phone, studios don’t normally bring a movie like this to show in its entirety at a theatre owners convention two months ahead of opening unless they know they have the goods.

Until quite recently, “The Black Phone” was not the movie Scott Derrickson thought he’d release in 2022. After the box office success of “Doctor Strange” in 2016—still the biggest single-character introduction film in the MCU—Derrickson was ready at the helm for the sequel, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” scheduled for release in May.

Marvel Studios was able to convince the filmmaker to come back to tackle “Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness” after Scott Derrickson exited the sequel over “creative differences.” Some fans became concerned the exit of Derrickson telegraphed that the studio might be backtracking on the horror elements that had been promised at San Diego Comic-Con 2019.

Most moviegoers know Scott Derrickson nowadays as the director of the 2016 Marvel film “Doctor Strange.” However, horror fans remember Derrickson well before he made the jump to the MCU.
