Sam Raimi is staying in the MCU as he’s all but closed a dealdirect ‘Doctor Strange 3’ (via The InSneider).
In July, Raimi signed on to direct the horror thriller “Send Help.” It remains unclear whether Raimi will direct that movie first, or ‘Doctor Strange 3.’Here’s hoping he chooses the horror-thriller.
I also wish Raimi more luck in directing this latest ‘Doctor Strange’ movie than the last one. “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” although it grossed $955M worldwide, was not that well received critically or by fans and had a pre-production filled with drama.
Raimi only came on board ‘Multiverse of Madness’ after original director Scott Derrickson parted ways with Marvel due to “creative differences.” The script had many rewrites up to that point — an actor in the film claimed it had been rewritten 33 times.
I love his campy directing style. I know that a lot of people got “Taika-d” out, but directors with unique style are what the MCU needs. When all of the movies look and feel the same, the burnout happens. Have your tent poles with Avengers and Infinity War, but let the other films be a little off the beaten path so we get a breather.
Taika was fun until success got to his head and he kept dialing it up instead of letting the ridiculousness just exist.
When Taika added the goats to “prank” Gunn, you might have to much power.

I don’t even remember any goats in Guardians 3
The goats were the best part of the movie
Thor: Ragnarok was great. The problem was them going “more of the same please”. They’ll just milk the cow to death if they could rather than learn the actual lesson - they should be letting directors with talent and vision loose in their toy box.
Then, if they must (and they must), build the franchise on the side, don’t make it the main reason to greenlight the film.
I’m tired of 3 hours of explosions. I want Wes Anderson’s Fantastic 4 or Darren Aronofsky doing a Daredevil movie.
Wes Anderson Sinister Six movie would be sick idk but I see it.
I don’t mind his style but let’s not act like it did any favors for DS2
