[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”33891″ img_size=”900×500″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Some have assumed based on recent descriptions of the upcoming Doctor Strange sequel that it might thematically dive into the horror genre. Well Kevin Feige has clarified that notion saying
“I wouldn’t necessarily say that’s a horror film, but … it’ll be a big MCU film with scary sequences in it.”
Kevin Feige continued to compare the films horror theme with sequences shown in films such as Raiders of the Lost Ark and other films that pushed their PG ratings
“I mean, there are horrifying sequences in Raiders that I as a little kid would [cover my eyes] when their faces melted. Or Temple of Doom, of course, or Gremlins, or Poltergeist,” Feige said. “These are the movies that invented the PG-13 rating, by the way. They were PG and then they were like, ‘We need another [rating].’ But that’s fun. It’s fun to be scared in that way, and not a horrific, torturous way, but a way that is legitimately scary — because Scott Derrickson is quite good at that — but scary in the service of an exhilarating emotion.”
When it comes to the title of Doctor Strange 2, Multiverse of Madness, Feige says it’s the greatest title they have ever come up with. Doctor Strange 2 will see Strange team up with Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch as they face off against the Marvel villain, Nightmare.
While DS2 might not be technically horror, reports indicate the horror theme has been brought back to New Mutants which will finally be released in 2020.
