What we can expect, though, is that Doctor Strange 2 won't be like any other MCU movie from a visual standpoint. The MCU is a family-oriented series, after all (until Deadpool 3's arrival, perhaps?), so don't expect Doctor Strange 2 to be rated R or anything like that. It's possible, then, that Raimi's involvement may have upped the ante, regarding the scary aspect of the film, without straying too far into Evil Dead territory. Of course, that was while Derrickson was still the film's director, and Raimi has replaced him since Feige made those comments. Speaking during a panel at the New York Film Academy in December 2019, Feige said: "I wouldn’t necessarily say that’s a horror film, but it’ll be a big MCU film with scary sequences in it." Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has also spoken about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness before. That all said, we shouldn't expect an R-rated, gory kind of horror flick. Regarding the movie's horror-inspired vibe, we've heard similar comments to Waldron's in the past.īack in April, Doctor Strange 2 co-star Elizabeth Olsen (who plays Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in the sequel) told Glamour Magazine that the film was "bonkers" and that "they're definitely going for that horror show vibe."
