Much like the film’s title, the production of Doctor Strange 2 was filled with madness. I mean, Scott Derrickson was supposed to make Doctor Strange 2, but he wanted to make a no-holds-barred weird, gnarly, scary movie, much on the lines of the 2018 film Hereditary or the 2015 film The Witch. However, there were creative differences between Marvel and Derrickson, which led to him exiting the film. Derrickson went on to make the 2022 film The Black Phone, a horror masterpiece, and Doctor Strange was slated for a May 2020 release. But to make things worse, the world got struck by the pandemic, and the production was further delayed. In the end, Sam Raimi managed to create a rather wonderful film, but all the barriers during the developmental and production stages led to several issues, which ultimately led to certain scenes being reshot or being outright eliminated from the final cut. I mean, when Sam Raimi took the directorial reigns, only half the film had been written and they were still figuring out an ending. Furthermore, Raimi confirmed in a recent interview that he wished to make a much longer film, alas! Nevertheless, in this video, we will explore every deleted scene from Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness, and we’ll also deep dive into the various differences between the trailer and the actual film. Let’s begin, shall we?
