Ryan Reynolds Will Have to Count Deadpool & Wolverine’s Days If Rumors of Sam Raimi’s Marvel Return Are True
- Deadpool & Wolverine may lose it's precious spot in the list of best comic book movies if Sam Raimi returns to direct Doctor Strange 3.
- Rumor is that the director is in talks to helm the third part of the franchise.
- The plot of Doctor Strange 3 also depends on where Marvel chooses to place the movie in the burgeoning Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Fans thought the glory days of Marvel were long gone and they were just trying to preserve something that they already lost. But they underestimated Ryan Reynolds’ stardom and power to bring things back from the dead. It’s as if Deadpool & Wolverine infused new life into the Marvel fandom that seemed to dislike any project the studio came out with.
Moreover, the comeback of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine only added to the excitement as fans agree there can never be another clawed mutant like Jackman. But the glory days of the movie are numbered as an upcoming Marvel flick might just snatch the spot.
Sam Raimi might return to direct Doctor Strange 3
After cooking an absolutely delightful story in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness that opened the doors for the franchise to traverse through different timelines and dimensions, director Sam Raimi might be roped in to continue the story in the threequel. Known for working his magic with horror elements and some edge-of-the-seat scenes, Raimi has successfully worked with various Marvel characters.
With a whopping $955.8 million worldwide box office collection, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ranks at number 10 in the list of Marvel Cinematic Universe movies in order of performance. Whereas the latest release, Deadpool & Wolverine, enjoys the 5th position on the list.
However, the time of Doctor Strange dethroning Deadpool does not seem too far ahead if the rumors of Sam Raimi helming the third part of the Doctor Strange series are true. First reported by Jeff Sneider, the rumor has been making the rounds for quite some time since Raimi took the sequel to another level with his horror prowess and a subtle twinge of intrigue that made Scarlet Witch’s character play skip rope with the line between hero and villain.
Deadpool & Wolverine previously dethroned The Avengers to be one of the top five comic book movies ever made. However, with Raimi’s probable return to the MCU foray, Deadpool & Wolverine should perhaps count the days till it gets snubbed to number 6 or lower.
What will Doctor Strange 3 be about?
While Benedict Cumberbatch may reprise his titular role, the details of the story have not been divulged yet. The plot of Doctor Strange 3 also depends on where Marvel chooses to place the movie in the burgeoning Marvel Cinematic Universe. It would make sense to have Doctor Strange 3 if helmed by Raimi, give way to the supernatural edge that Marvel is trying to infuse in the franchise.
Moreover, the sequel introduces us to Cleo, another wizard who goes on to have a romantic relationship with Strange. The possibilities for Doctor Strange 3 are endless, and with Sam Raimi as the director, fans are confident that the movie can truly be a class apart.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is streaming on Disney+.
