The planned director of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Scott Derrickson, has dropped out of Marvel's upcoming sequel film. Although the movie isn't set to release until 2021, Benedict Cumberbatch's previous portrayal of Doctor Strange was enjoyable enough that many fans have been looking forward to the character's next solo film with much anticipation, citing his inclusion in both Avengers: Infinity War and (to a lesser extent) Avengers: Endgame as some of the more visually entertaining parts of those movies.
Rumored to feature a Marvel Comics character the studio always wanted to use and also somehow tie into the upcoming Disney+ series Loki, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is surely a massive film to both oversee and direct, especially since Marvel likely has additional plans for how certain plot points should dictate future events in their cinematic universe. If Marvel's blueprint for their Phase Four films is anything like their previous ones, there is surely an overarching endgame, no pun intended, that the studio is aiming for, and not everyone will always agree on how to get there.
According to the director himself in a recent message posted to Twitter, Scott Derrickson will be stepping down as director for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, citing creative differences with the studio. Derrickson will not be leaving the project entirely, however, and will stay on as an executive producer. You can read his short statement in full below:
