A new rumor suggested that Sam Raimi is in talks to direct Doctor Strange 3, and MCU fans are divided over his potential return.
Following the massive success of Multiverse of Madness, Marvel Studios is reportedly developing a third solo movie featuring the fan-favorite Sorcerer Supreme that would continue his adventure in the MCU.
So far, the details regarding the rumored project are still under wraps as Marvel has not officially announced it as part of their slate, but fans are excited that they will see the Sorcerer Supreme again in a new solo movie.
Sam Raimi's Rumored Doctor Strange 3 Involvement Divides MCU Fans
According to a recent scoop from insider Jeff Sneider, Raimi is nearing a deal to return to direct Doctor Strange 3.
So far, Marvel Studios has not confirmed the claims made in the report so take this with a grain of salt for now.
While the news is still classified as a rumor, MCU fans have already weighed in on Raimi's potential return to helm the next Doctor Strange installment, and the reactions have been divisive.
While some fans are happy to see the acclaimed filmmaker take another shot at directing an MCU movie, fans who did not like Multiverse of Madness are not excited about the possibility.
Here are some of the reactions from fans on X:
Whether you like Multiverse of Madness or not, there is no doubt that Raimi is one of the most talented filmmakers in the horror genre and he has a good visual eye for telling an effective superhero story.
It is also likely that Raimi will have more creative involvement in the third film and there will be no leftover stories that he has to tackle from a non-Doctor Strange MCU project so this could feel different story-wise than the previous film.
For now, let's wait and see whether Marvel will eventually confirm Raimi's involvement in Doctor Strange 3, but we already have an idea of what fans might feel once that announcement happens.
