DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS Adds LOGAN And DETECTIVE PIKACHU Cinematographer

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may have been delayed until March 25th, 2022, but work on the highly anticipated Marvel Studios movie appears to be continuing in earnest. After original director Scott Derrickson parted ways with Marvel Studios over "creative differences," Spider-Man helmer Sam Raimi was enlisted to take charge of the sequel. 

Now, if a new report from The Ronin is to be believed, Raimi has found a cinematographer in the form of John Mathieson, a filmmaker who is no stranger to working on comic book movies. 

His credits include X-Men: First Class and the critically acclaimed, visually stunning, Logan. He's also worked on movies like Detective Pikachu and Guy Ritchie's The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Marvel Cinematic Universe veteran Ben Davis was Doctor Strange's cinematographer, and his latest project was Eternals. There's no explanation for the change. 

It's certainly exciting to think about what Mathieson can bring to the table for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but we know little to nothing about what to expect from the movie right now. What we do know is that Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, and Chiwetel Ejiofor will all be reprising their respective roles, while Elizabeth Olsen is set to join them. 

Comic book characters like Clea and Miss America Chavez are also expected to appear. 

Are you excited for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?

Honestly wasn't that hyped when this movie was announced like everyone else was, but its been shaping up and up and up for me ever since Raimi boarded.

Yup, I had very little interest in this movie before Raimi came on board.

Derrickson did very little for me with the first Doctor Strange. It’s a shame he left but Raimi is absolutely an upgrade. IMO.

"There's no explanation for the change. "

I suppose it may have to do with Davis being more generic in his lighting when it comes to day shoots for instance. Raimi, being a more experienced director than most (if not all) of his MCU peers, may be more picky about the minutiae of the looks of is films.

Never knew or followed this guy, but I re-watched Detective Pikachu last night and thought the cinematography looked great.

@geekarchitect - Speaking of DP, I hope it gets a sequel and delve more on Pokemon battles this time. I love the world building they did. Rhyme City felt like a live action San Fransokyo from BH6.

When I read that he also was behind in Gladiator that was all that I needed to know.
