Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness general news and discussion thread

[Asharad]

Temple of Doom? Bleh. Not sure why they would use a bad movie as their example.

 

[Albright]

Mola Ram scared the hell out of me as a kid.
They probably referring on the scenes during the ritual (the heart-scene is cut from the PG13 version) or something when Indy fell into the black sleep of Kalima...Kalimaaah
Still makes me uncomfortable though

 

[Closerframe]

Temple of Doom was always controversial and hasn’t aged well from how it depicts the Indian culture—specifically Hinduism. But I can see why the comparison was possibly made. It’s not like she could mention Evil Dead since that was a legitimate horror movie, so Temple of Doom is the next thing since it was family friendly and happened to have horrific/scary moments.

 

[Albright]

bah that chalice is so creepy

Bruce Campbell announces return of 'Evil Dead' to cinemas, talks 'Doctor Strange 2' rumors

The rumor is that you are in Doctor Strange 2. (Note: The rumor that Campbell will be appearing in Raimi's UK-shot superhero sequel has mostly been promulgated by Campbell himself. On Feb. 27, the actor tweeted a photo of the London skyline with the message, "Boy, it was a blast, working in a certain city, with a certain director on a certain movie with a certain actor - it sure was!" Campbell also made cameo appearances in all three of Raimi's Spider-Man films) Can you say anything about that?

I would say that's a pretty good rumor. I think that won't get me sued. That's a pretty good rumor, yeah.

 

[The Infernal]

I keep thinking what if Sam Raimi was crazy enough to give us some form of Ash cameo. Unlikely, but fun to think about.

Again Temple of Doom is not a scary movie at all. I guess I am also a little biased in that the late great Amrish Puri who played Mola Ram was frequently a villain or senior father figure in Bollywood movies so I didn’t find him really all that scary. Plus ToD’s portrayal of much of Indian culture and Hinduism is to the say the least…. **** and again not scary.

I suppose anything goes these days.... as long as it's Lizzie Olsen singing Anything Goes.

[Dark Raven]

Is it as scary as the Incredible Hulk pilot which was pretty much a horror movie?

 

[psylockolussus]

As long as it doesn't give me a Nightmare. I'm good.

‘Loki’ Renewed for Season 2 at Disney+ – The Hollywood Reporter

That push continued Wednesday with the Loki finale. Without getting into spoilers (we’ll leave that to our Heat Vision colleagues), the Loki finale set the stage for Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Hiddleston’s Loki character is also expected to also appear in the next Dr. Strange. (Marvel has yet to confirm whether or not that’s happening.)

 

[Closerframe]

Yeah, after the Loki season finale, there are definitely going to be some crazy moments in MoM.

 

[Drizzle]

I'm partially relieved to hear this but also not really surprised at all. Raimi knows scary, even in his Spider-Man movies.

This made me jump out of my seat the first time I watched it:



And who can forget this lovely scene from Spider-Man 2?

This scene made me jump as a kid!

Haha! You know ever since you suggested that idea I have been having wonderful dreams about that LMAO! So thank you for that! As long as its not Dr Strange singing it, cuz well then it would be a truly scary movie!

 

[Dr. Evil]

So the villain a Kang variant?

'Shang-Chi' Star Benedict Wong Says "Asians Assemble" in Marvel Movie; Also Teases 'Doctor Strange 2'

Wong was a bit more forthcoming with regards to Sam Raimi's terrifying sequel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which pairs Benedict Cumberbatch's Sorceror Supreme with Elizabeth Olsen's Scarlet Witch. Though plot details remain under wraps, Wong wants readers to know they should be getting excited.

"It's a cracking script. And now, having Sam Raimi involved has been a really wonderful experience. He's such a fantastic director and [a] lovely, lovely man. He's just such fun to work with," said Wong, who appreciated the chance to improvise on set -- something that Raimi encouraged.

"I like throwing alts, and he likes them, so we just have a bit of a laugh. I just throw anything at the wall, and sometimes it will fall down and sometimes it'll stick. It's amazing, the creative process. As long as you're not afraid to throw something at the wall, it might be right or it might be wrong, but we're all just trying to make something here. We're having a lot of fun. We're finishing that off in September, so we're nearly there."

 

[The_Manhunter]

Yes, I expected cameos like this.

Please no I never want to see Peggy again. Literally anyone else.

Doctor Strange 2 Rumored To Feature Hayley Atwell as Captain Carter

New 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' Funko Leak Teases Multiple Strange Variants - Murphy's Multiverse -

Captain Carter and Superior Strange did seem the most likely What If...? characters to make it into this movie. We'll see if these come true but it definitely seems like What If...? may not just be some standalone hypotheticals.
