In late February, actor Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead; Spider-Man trilogy), a frequent collaborator of director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man trilogy), teased that he'd had "a blast, working in a certain city, with a certain director on a certain movie with a certain actor."
While he could've been referring to any project, he attached a photo of the London skyline to his tweet, which just so happens to be where Raimi is currently filming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Considering their history and his memorable cameos across the original Spider-Man trilogy, it's not a stretch to assume Campbell could have a small part to play in the upcoming Marvel Studios sequel, and he may have just inadvertently confirmed his involvement.
Earlier this afternoon, Campbell, as part of an April Fool's Day joke, shared a tweet with fake script pages from In the Multiverse of Madness where he references the Necronomicon and his role as Ash Williams in the Evil Dead franchise. Now, while this could be an elaborate prank, the tweet is notable for being the first time he's actually directly referenced Doctor Strange 2.
Raimi is in the director's chair with a screenplay from Jade Bartlett and Michael Waldron. Filming began in November in the United Kingdom, but was put on hold in January due to a new lockdown in England. A restart was never officially announced, but production is believed to have resumed principal photography in mid-February.
Benedict Cumberbatch is headlining the sequel as Doctor Stephen Strange with a supporting cast consisting of Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Benedict Wong as Master Wong, Rachel McAdams as Dr. Christine Palmer, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Karl Mordo, Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez, and Adam Hugill as Rintrah (rumored).
