Before Sam Raimi (“Spider-Man” trilogy) took over as helm of “Doctor Strange 3 in the Multiverse of Madness,” Scott Derrickson, director of the original, would be the one who would direct the sequel.
However, he ultimately resigned his post due to creative disagreements with Marvel Studios, remaining only as an executive producer.
Derrickson is well known for his love of the horror genre, such as “The Entity” and the recent “The Black Phone”, and it seems he wanted to put an exaggerated twist on the dark theme of the “Multiverse of Madness”. .
As Marvel rejected the proposal, Derrickson resigned his post.
Regardless, he revealed on his Twitter profile that he would like to return for the 3rd Sorcerer Supreme movie.

“Scott Derrickson, would you consider coming back for the third movie? [do ‘Doutor Estranho‘]? or at least one episode of “What if …?” I would really like to know your opinion on the different scenarios and stories. I think of an episode of “What if …?” Focusing on Supreme Strange elevates the film even further.
The filmmaker immediately replied:
“I loved working with Marvel and would definitely do it again.”
