Sam Raimi to Direct

I'm starting to think Nightmare isn't the villain

 

I've been burnt out on the MCU honestly, but I'm truly hyped for this movie and possibilities of a multiverse (and a chance of a tobey cameo).

 

I hope he is. There’s tons you can do with him

 

Nightmare might be a bit of a dark horse.

 

Yeah... I mean the humor in the mcu is so deep. What a joke ! The humor in spider-man trilogy was more about quality and not quantity and it never remove the drama. And i don't see what are you talking... Cheeseball humor ? Also the movies was mostly serious and drama. So i don't see your point.

 

‘Doctor Strange 2’: What Separates Sam Raimi From Prior MCU Directors

What Sam Raimi Can Bring to 'Doctor Strange 2'

 

I could see Raimi not shying away from the spell names bring on the Hoary hosts of Hoggoth!

 

I would have been SO excited for this if they didn't shoehorn in so many characters to setup other characters stories/the future of the mcu.

I would have been SO excited for a more personal Strange film directed by Raimi with Nightmare as the villain. I feel like that's never going to happen.

 

They’re still reworking the script so there’s no guarantee either way

 

Except we know via Derrickson that they hadn't even written a draft for this movie, so it's not exactly reworking the script.

 

They can't truly be starting to write a script NOW right? I just don't see how this movie isn't pushed back

 

They're not just writing a script now. They're also trying to come up with a name and concept for the main character.

 

I think when they officially announce Raimi is when they'll announce a delay with it.

 

this could be the first real fail for Marvel Studios.
Not the movie itself, if it really gets delayed, but the way how they handle the crisis and the replacement

 

Thing is we know nothing about what transpired behind the scenes. It looks bad though definitely. To be a fly on the wall and get the details...

 

Eh ant-man and GotG 3 looked worse imo.

 

They do have a script already, but it was written by another writer (Jade Bartlett), and not Derrickson and Cargill, which is all that Cargill's tweet said. This is the same script that the Loki showrunner is doing rewrites for, but just because that news was announced last week doesn't mean it just happened last week - I wouldn't be surprised if he was already working on it since last month or so. So I don't really see a delay happening if that's the case.

Also back when DS2 was first confirmed by trades to have Derrickson directing, THR's article about it said that MS was looking for a new writer to do the script (and they did). I think this is because they were disappointed with the script of DS1 tbh...and that's ultimately what led to the creative differences and Derrickson being replaced by Raimi.

 

Yeah...no. If Marvel can survive Wright being let go and replaced with a filmmaker who is solid, but couldn't hold Edgar Wright's jock then Doctor Strange is probably okay with Sam freaking Raimi of all people .

 

I don’t know why people are fussing so much. Lots of studios have people pull out or whatever before production. Nbd. Marvel is probably more blessed than others when it comes to this

 

Yeah, but now ir looks like, there‘s no script drafted before Derickson left.
They basically start new with the writing and need to be finished in 2-3 months whereas other writers had 6-12 months of time

 

I take it you haven't read the antepenultimate post above yours?

 

Well I read the Tweet of C.Robert Cargill

 

Ok so there was a script ok that makes me feel better

 

I want that to be in the credits. Directed by "Sam freaking Raimi of all people"

 

I‘m also glad, that he might be the director...but Sam freaking Raimi of all people‘s last movie was Oz the great and powerful...
