Sam Raimi’s Doctor Strange 2 aka Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is now filming. And today, Benedict Cumberbatch took some time to praise Raimi.
He tells Collider: “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.”
Recently, Bruce Campbell confirmed his cameo. Kinda. He posted a pic of London, tweeting: “Boy, it was a blast, working in a certain city, with a certain director on a certain movie with a certain actor – it sure was!“ Check out his tweet HERE.

The last we heard on the sequel, Xochitl Gomez (Baby-Sitters Club) joined Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Benedict Wong, and Chiwetel Ejiofor in the film.
Sinister director Scott Derrickson left the production over creative differences. Raimi then took over. Derickson remains as an executive producer. The film’s set to start shooting once Cumberbatch finishes playing Strange in Spider-Man 3.
The original film told the tale of Dr. Stephen Strange’s whose life changes after a car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he looks for healing, and hope, in a mysterious enclave. There he quickly learns it’s at the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying reality. Before long, Strange must choose between his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence.
Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness was originally going to hit on May 7th, 2021. But will now (hopefully) land in theaters on March 25th, 2022.
