Derrickson was originally in the director’s chair for the sequel but leftover creative differences between himself and Marvel in January.
Raimi was behind the Spider-Man films from the 2000s and hasn’t touched a super-hero movie since. He is also known for working on movies like The Evil Dead series and has been announced as a producer on The Last of Us movie.
His talent for horror and super-hero movies should put him in good stead to tackle the upcoming Doctor Strange film as it has been described as the first MCU horror film. If you want to know why the Multiverse of Madness could be so scary, check out this explainer.
