The latest release delay is the sequel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This time, the film’s already new November 5, 2021 date, has been updated to March 25, 2022. 

Disney has had to do a complete reshuffle of its release calendar following theater closures and production shutdowns due to the Coronavirus.

Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange made his debut in 2016. He then appeared in Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame. Cumberbatch will reprise his role alongside Benedict Wong, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Elizabeth Olsen who starred in the original film. The co-star, Rachel McAdams, however, will not.

The Spider-Man (2002) director is in talks to take over as director in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness for Marvel. 

Raimi is set to take over the gig following Scott Derrickson’s departure from the project. Derrickson exited the project due to creative differences, but he remains as an executive producer.

The sequel, which was announced at San Diego Comic-Con last summer, was described by the then director as “the first scary MCU film.” 

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is scheduled for release on May 7, 2021.

Variety was first to report the news.

Scott Derrickson, who directed 2016’s Doctor Strange starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular character, was scheduled to reprise his role for the sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. With filming set to begin in just a few months, Derrickson has now pulled out of the project. 

Marvel confirmed the news in a statement which read, “Marvel Studios and Scott Derrickson have amicably parted ways on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness due to creative differences. We remain grateful to Scott for his contributions to the MCU.”

It appears as though there is no bad blood, as Derrickson released a statement of his own. “Marvel and I have mutually agreed to part ways on Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness due to creative differences,” he wrote in a tweet. “I am thankful for our collaboration and will remain on as EP.”

The original Doctor Strange grossed over $677 million worldwide with the sequel scheduled to begin shooting in May ahead of a May 7th, 2021 release.
