With countless cameos, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is set to explode with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022). Still, one Marvel star just confirmed terrible news for the Marvel movie.
Leading Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Sam Raimi promises more mind-blowing experiences than every Marvel fan could imagine. Still, one of Raimi’s closest friends and one of the most infamous Marvel actors may have confirmed that the director’s vision has been cut down with post-production editing of significant scenes.
Bruce Campbell, one of Sam Raimi’s closest friends and lead actor in Evil Dead (1981) — the film that kickstarted both Campbell and Raimi’s careers — is appearing in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in a mysterious role, with many claiming that he’s finally becoming the villain Mysterio (something that was planned to occur in the unmade Spider-Man 4).
Nonetheless, Campbell has had an inside throughout much of the film’s production, often giving the press and fans updates on how Sam Raimi’s superhero vision is coming along.
“The Marvel guys, they make eight of these movies at the same time, so they’re always updating storylines. So, my buddy Sam [Raimi] has had to add scenes that [Marvel] told him he had to shoot, and he’s removed scenes that no longer apply. So until May rolls around I don’t think Benedict Cumberbatch even knows if he’s in this movie or not.”

Sam Raimi has reportedly removed and added scenes from Doctor Strange in alignment with Marvel Studios’ vision of the film. While it’s safe to say that Multiverse of Madness will be a smash hit, it’s nerve-racking to hear that the 2-hour and the 6-minute movie might become even shorter:
L Sam Raimi knows what he’s doing don’t need any studio interference

Upon learning that this Doctor Strange sequel would only run for 2-hour and 6-minutes, Marvel fans feared the numerous cameos (Wolverine, Deadpool, Ghost Rider, Superior Iron Man) that were rumored to appear had been cut indefinitely.
While Bruce Campbell is an infamous joker and loves leading the press on wild goose chases, this revelation from the Doctor Strange star comes at a hasty time!
