Sam Raimi Eyes Another Marvel Movie After Spider-Man 4 Setback

Apr 03, 2024 11:05 AM

Film director Sam Raimi has expressed his interest in directing the upcoming Marvel film "Avengers: Secret Wars" despite not being involved with "Spider-Man 4." Raimi is well-acquainted with the Marvel universe, having previously directed "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" and the original Spider-Man trilogy. "Avengers: Secret Wars" is scheduled for a May 2027 release and could potentially draw from the classic 1984 comic or the 2015 series. The director's eagerness to rejoin Marvel signals potential future collaborations. Deadpool & Wolverine is the next Marvel movie to hit theaters in July of this year.

Is Sam Raimi directing Avengers: Secret Wars?

No, Sam Raimi has not been confirmed as the director for Avengers: Secret Wars, although he has shown a keen interest in directing the film.

"Avengers: Secret Wars" is expected to be a significant film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The title refers to two major Marvel Comics crossover events, one from 1984 and another from 2015. Both storylines revolve around the concept of a cosmic figure forcing superheroes to engage in battle. The MCU has been delving into its multiverse phase, which suggests that the film might incorporate or be inspired by these established comic arcs. This ambitious crossover event is part of the MCU's ongoing expansion and will likely serve as a tentpole for the next phase of Marvel's cinematic endeavors.
