“The movie needed to go mad,” DoctorStrange2 screenwriter Michael Waldron says of the shocking Illuminati scene. “I wanted the audience to feel safe when they showed up and then feel even more terrified when Wanda took them out.”
When asked to describe his favorite part about working on “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” screenwriter Michael Waldron’s answer was quick. “When the audience groaned when Black Bolt and Reed Richards died on opening night, that was the most rewarding moment for me,” he said without hesitation.
“It wasn’t even in my outline,” Waldron admitted. “That was me feeling that the movie needed to go mad. I wanted the audience to feel safe when they showed up and then feel even more terrified when Wanda took them out.”Each of the team members’ gruesome deaths was cemented early in the script. “So all the action was as described,” said Raimi. “And Michael had gone through other Illuminati members who met other types of gruesome deaths before we got to this combination.
Despite rampant fan speculation on social media, there was never a serious plan to include Tom Cruise as an Iron Man variant —even though Tony Stark was a member of the group when they first appeared in 2005’s “New Avengers No. 7.” “The casting was a constantly moving target,” said Waldron. “I do remember at one point somebody saying, ‘What about Tom Cruise? That’d be great,’ because I know he’d been rumored to play Iron Man one time a million years ago.
