URGENT UPDATE: Renowned director Sam Raimi has just revealed a significant regret regarding his work on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In a candid interview with Total Film, Raimi expressed his disappointment over the underutilization of actress Rachel McAdams in the blockbuster film, which grossed an impressive $955 million at the global box office.
Raimi, who previously directed the original Spider-Man trilogy, stated, “I had a chance to work with her on my last film and saw how talented she was and actually underutilized.” This revelation comes as McAdams stars alongside Dylan O’Brien in the thriller Send Help, which has just opened in theaters. He emphasized, “I promised myself that I would work with her again,” highlighting her exceptional talent and warmth.
The director lamented that McAdams has yet to portray a dark villain, saying, “The fact that she has not really played a dark, terrible villain before really sets the audience up to be surprised.” This insight adds to the anticipation surrounding her latest role in a genre shift.
While there are currently no official plans for a third installment of the Doctor Strange series, fans can look forward to seeing Benedict Cumberbatch reprise his role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. Filming for the Phase 6 finale is set to begin this summer, with the Russo brothers returning as directors.
As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand, Raimi’s comments spark discussions about the potential future of McAdams’ character and the direction of the franchise. The urgency of these developments is palpable as fans eagerly await updates on upcoming projects.
For those interested in exploring more about Raimi’s vision and the latest Marvel news, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is now available on streaming services, while Send Help is currently in theaters.
