The first Doctor Strange was notable in how visually trippy it got with its alternate dimensions and action sequences, and Multiverse looks like it’ll happily continue that trend. For as much CG spectacle as there appears to be in Multiverse—after all, it’s a Marvel movie—it looks like the film will be dipping its toes into horror. Before Sam Raimi eventually came on to direct the sequel, original director Scott Derrickson notably said this would be the “first MCU scary film” at Comic-Con in 2019. Some shakeups have occurred since then, but it looks Raimi (a horror director himself, yes) and writer Michael Waldron are indeed making Doctor Strange’s sophomore outing just a little bit frightening thanks to Strange Supreme.
Also starring Benedict Wong and Chiwetel Ejiofor, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness releases in theaters on May 6.
