There were rumors doing the rounds last year that Danny Elfman had signed on to provide the score for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and the legendary composer has now confirmed his involvement in the Marvel Studios sequel.
During an interview with Inverse, Elfman revealed that he's already done som preliminary work on the movie.
"I am starting to do bits of pre-work for Doctor Strange 2 that Sam Raimi's directing," he tells the site. "Even though I don't start it for some months, there's bits of recorded music they need for the sets."
Of course, this won't be the first time Raimi and Elfman have teamed-up, as the composer delivered two of his most iconic scores on Spider-Man and its sequel. He's also worked on the likes ofTim Burton's Batman, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Mission: Impossible, Men in Black, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Justice League.
Plot details for Doctor Strange 2 are still under wraps, but the title obviously suggests that the alternate reality-spanning Multiverse will play a big part. Benedict Cumberbatch will return as the Master of the Mystic Arts, and he'll be joined by Benedict Wong as Wong, Rachel McAdams as Dr. Christine Palmer, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo. New additions include Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, and Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez.
Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness is set to hit theaters on March 25, 2022.
