Last night, Marvel Studios unleashed a jaw-dropping new trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. While original director Scott Derrickson left the sequel over "creative differences" with Marvel Studios, it's clear legendary filmmaker Sam Raimi has been allowed to bring his own unique vision to a movie that will explore the Multiverse and deliver some horror-inspired visuals.
Talking to Empire Online, star Benedict Cumberbatch explains, "Once it became Sam, it was always about making it a Sam Raimi picture. Your head’s going to be spun."
The actor is coming off the back of Spider-Man: No Way Home's unbelievable box office success (it's so far grossed $1.8 billion worldwide), and shared an interesting exchange with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. "I think when Kevin Feige first said, ‘We’ll know about the future of cinema, or the cinemagoing experience, after this film,’ I was like, ‘Okay, everyone’s drinking too much of the Kool-Aid around here,’" the actor admitted. "My ignorance was showed up."
The site has also shared a new image from the sequel showcasing Xochitl Gomez's America Chavez meeting with Doctor Strange and Wong in less than glamourous settings! We're not entirely sure what's happening here, but it could be the aftermath of Gargantos' attack on New York.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to be released on May 6.
