DoctorStrange in the MultiverseOfMadness director Sam Raimi has only seen 4 or 5 MCU movies. 'I had seen Iron Man, the first Avengers, Black Panther, and Doctor Strange, and little clips of the other movies... I've really only seen four or five.'
Director Sam Raimi says that he has only seen 4 or 5 MCU films before helming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Marvel Studios' franchise was launched in 2008 via Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau's Iron Man. Long before that, however, Raimi was already in the Marvel movie world, having spearheaded Sony's first Spider-Man trilogy.
Since Raimi wrapped up Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man movies, the landscape has greatly changed for comic book movies. Not only has Marvel all but taken over Hollywood, releasing 27 films since 2008, but they are the most profitable blockbusters out there. Recently, Kevin Feige and his team have recently expanded with the launch of its TV branch via Disney+. More MCU films are coming, including Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
I had seen Iron Man, the first Avengers, Black Panther and Doctor Strange, and little clips of the other movies. They've made 28 movies. I've only really seen four or five, so I'll say not that familiar. That's part one. By the way, I loved what I saw, but not that familiar. But part two is I was a giant fan of the Marvel comic books of the '70s and '80s and into the '90s. So, I was super familiar with the characters, and their stories, and their interactions.
For some, this might seem like a red flag. After all, the MCU is known for its interconnected storytelling, and with the franchise continuing to evolve, it's getting more difficult to preserve its established continuity. Audiences already have several lingering questions, and having someone who's not that familiar with the lore helm a big movie like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness might create some more inconsistencies.
Instead, Raimi's unfamiliarity with the MCU may actually be a great thing for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. One of the biggest criticisms about the franchise is its formulaic approach to its storytelling. Raimi coming in with barely having any idea what that formula is would help him in creating something totally fresh and new for the viewers. At this point in Marvel's history, that's more important than ever.
