Al-Rimi himself revealed that making the decision to work on a sequel to Doctor Strange wasn’t easy – all because of memories of the reaction to the movie “Spider-Man 3”.
“Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness” is a production that all fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been waiting for. And there is nothing strange about it – reports so far suggest that a lot will happen there. We’ll likely have a great production that will focus on the multi-dimensional theme of the title. Many viewers are already wondering what Kevin Feige has come up with.
The second important aspect for superhero cinema connoisseurs is in this case Back to genre Sam RaimiWho last worked in Spider-Man 3 with Tobey Maguir. The production was received extremely negatively, and Internet users confused it with mud. Even the director revealed that this is the case It had a huge impact on him in terms of accepting the Disney offer:
I didn’t know if I could do it because it was horrible to be the director of Spider-Man 3. The internet was booming and people didn’t like the movie and they categorically reported it to me so it was hard to go back [do prac nad tym gatunkiem – przyp. red.].
But then I found out about Dr. Strange 2. My agent called me and said, “They’re looking for a way out for Marvel. Your name appeared on the occasion of this video. Would you be interested?” Then I started wondering if I could still do it. The jobs are very demanding, but I felt it was a good challenge.
Well, read these words, it is very easy to understand the feeling of the director himself. The criticism of his superhero works must have left a very strong impression. Doctor Strange 2 might be a way to blur that spot In his career and back to what he was famous for a large part of the public. So there is something to wait for!
