Sam Raimi on the reshoots for DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness '[It's] learning what is confusing on a complex picture like this... Recognizing when something is too slow, and even though it’s a proper beat to put in, the audience doesn’t need it.'
Sam Raimi details what exactly the reshoots on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness were about. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a monumental event as it is Raimi's first film in nine years, it is the kick-off of the summer movie season, and is set to be a game-changer in the MCU with multiple cameos rumored. Anticipation is high as the film is already on track to beat The Batman for the biggest opening weekend of 2022.
However, despite the anticipation for the sequel, there is a certain amount of trepidation. In November 2021, it was reported that Doctor Strange 2 was undergoing significant reshoots. With the news coming so close after the announcement that the film's release date was being pushed back from March 25, 2022, to May 6, 2022, combined with the fact that original director Scott Derrickson dropped out due to creative differences with Marvel, many had concerns about the status of the film.
"There’s a lot of points where the audience says, “I don’t understand this. I don’t understand this concept.” Or, “I’m aware of this concept, and then you explained it again in the third act.” “Oh, you’re right. The audience knows that already.” Or: “They had to know that in order to accept this next story beat.” A lot of it is test screenings, learning what is confusing on a complex picture like this, or learning things that have overstayed their welcome.
Part of this makes a certain amount of sense. While not originally planned this way, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is coming out after audiences have not only seen Spider-Man: No Way Home in theaters but have likely watched Loki and What If...? on Disney+, so the concept of the multiverse may already be well laid out.
In recent years, the idea of reshoots on a big-budget film tends to send certain audience members into panic mode after the association of projects like Fantastic 4, Suicide Squad, and Justice League negatively impacted their films. Yet, reshoots are just a natural part of the filmmaking process, so much so that Marvel Studios factors that into their films production schedule as they know when they edit certain things will need to change.
