Doctor Strange’s Benedict Cumberbatch Praises Sam Raimi While Filming Sequel

Doctor Strange and The Multiverse of Madness is a highly anticipated film for us Marvel fans. Not only will we see Benedict Cumberbatch revive his role as Dr. Strange, but just the title looks cool. On top of that, popular director Sam Raimi will be directing the Doctor Strange sequel. Raimi worked on the Tobey Maguire-led Spider-Man films and in recent years has gained a bit of a following on social media.

Scott Derrickson directed the first Doctor Strange film, but had announced he wouldn’t come back for the sequel. Since Cumberbatch is currently filming the MCU film, he was asked what it’s like working with Raimi on this one:

“Sam, amazing. He’s so collaborative. God, he comes with the baggage of an icon. He’s an incredible force, especially in this genre. But he’s so humble, he’s so nice, he’s so appreciative, you really wanna serve him. And boy, when he’s happy, you know you’ve done something right. He’s so good at getting you there and getting it there. It’s been a very, very collaborative process, this one. Our origin stories, I guess, and obviously the beasts that were the Avengers films to be a part of were a thrill, but you’re kind of just along for the ride. You do the best with what you’ve already got given to do. The second time around, there’s a bit more of, ‘So, what do you want to do, and how do we go about solving this?’ So it feels very creative. Scarily so, sometimes.”

Who else is excited for Doctor Strange 2? And how excited are you that Raimi is directing it?
