Scott Derrickson who was the original director of Doctor Strange 2: Multiverse of Madness, recently stepped down due to creative differences. Yep this sure sounds familiar with other MCU projects. Edgar Wright and Ant-man ring a bell? TQR/Secret Avenger/Corporate Red being replaced for Brie Larson/Captain Marvel ring a bell? Although that move most people hated and has shown already to be the downfall of the MCU moving foward. But then came news Sam Raimi is the new director for Doctor Strange 2. How could this tie to Corporate Red?
Well leading up to Infinity War, TQR constantly stated that the MCU is a reality that is not suppose to exist. Doctor Strange, Spider-man Homecoming and recently End Game have proven this TQR/Secret Avenger theory true after Captain America stayed in the past and altering an already alternate reality. An alternate within an alternate? That’s not good.. Remember what Stark said in End Game, mess with time, time messes back. Sam Raimi also directed the original Spider-man franchise, with star Tobey Magiure as the web-head.
The MCU alternate timeline theory by TQR has been that Holland’s Spider-man is not the real Spider-man, and that the MCU is a timeline that is not suppose to exist. Or at least that version of the MCU is not suppose to exist. Constant use of the Time Stone resulted in the glitches in the MCU’s matrix.
Could Raimi being bought in to helm Doctor Strange 2 set up the stages for Secret Wars where Secret Avenger/Corporate Red leads the Multiverse in a war against the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Things are getting.. interesting..
