Sam Raimi Tapped To Direct 'Doctor Strange 2'

Sam Raimi might be stepping behind the camera for the much anticipated sequel to Doctor Strange.

Variety reports that the Spider-Man director would replace Scott Derrickson, who departed the role due to creative differences. He’ll remain as an executive producer, though.

Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong and Chiwetel Ejiofor are all expected to return for the second film, but Rachel McAdams will not.

Elizabeth Olsen will join the movie in her role as Scarlet Witch, aka Wanda Maximoff.

Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige has said before that Scarlet Witch’s appearance in the movie will link with the Disney+ series, WandaVision, set for release in December.
