As you'll no doubt be aware by now, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness features quite a few cameos, but one, in particular, is sure to bring a smile to old-school Sam Raimi fans.
Bruce Campbell has appeared in the majority of Raimi's films since his screen debut in Evil Dead, so it probably won't come as much of a surprise to learn that he also shows up in the Doctor Strange sequel. The specific details of his role have led to a lot of speculation, though, and he was rumored to be playing a member of The Illuminati (Thor's brother Balder) at one point.
There's a pretty good chance this was the original plan, but Campbell actually ended up playing a food vender named "Pizza Poppa" who accosts Strange and Chavez on the street when they arrive in The Illuminati's reality.
After Poppa threatens to squirt mustard on him, Strange casts a spell which forces the vender to repeatedly punch himself in the face (bit harsh). He then returns in the movie's post-credits scene when the spell finally wears off, looking straight at the camera to tell the audience that "it's over!"
A fan revealed the details of Campbell's appearances on Twitter, and the actor responded with the following:
Some might be disappointed with Campbell's cameos, but we're sure Raimi will find a more substantial part for his old friend one of these days!
