Sam Raimi to direct ‘Doctor Strange 3' (www.worldofreel.com)

Sam Raimi is staying in the MCU as he’s all but closed a dealdirect ‘Doctor Strange 3' (via The InSneider).

In July, Raimi signed on to direct the horror thriller “Send Help.” It remains unclear whether Raimi will direct that movie first, or ‘Doctor Strange 3.’Here’s hoping he chooses the horror-thriller.

I also wish Raimi more luck in directing this latest ‘Doctor Strange’ movie than the last one. “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” although it grossed $955M worldwide, was not that well received critically or by fans and had a pre-production filled with drama.

Raimi only came on board ‘Multiverse of Madness’ after original director Scott Derrickson parted ways with Marvel due to “creative differences.” The script had many rewrites up to that point — an actor in the film claimed it had been rewritten 33 times.

Does anyone actually watch MCU movies anymore…?

Deadpool & Wolverine grossed 1.3 billion in the theatres.

And you really think that Deadpool's performance has reversed the fortunes of the MCU….?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think audiences have forgotten that the Deadpool franchise that was made successful outside of MCU, much less X-Men.

Point is, call me skeptical that that the enthusiasm for that one off event, will be carried over into the next MCU turd they plop into theaters.

The Marvels grossed 206.1 million. Guardians 3 grossed 845.6 million. Quantumania grossed 476.1 million.

I'm not trying to convince you to like them boss, I'm just answering your question of "Does anyone actually watch MCU movies anymore...?" which is a resounding: Yes, they do.
