Marvel fans, buckle up because we’ve got some exciting news for you! According to recent reports, Doctor Strange 3 has been officially added to Marvel Studios’ production schedule and is fast-tracked to make its way to theaters as soon as possible.
The announcement has sparked a lot of excitement and speculation among fans, who have eagerly awaited the Sorcerer’s return. And while we’re thrilled at the prospect of seeing Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange back on the big screen, there’s one thing fans are even more excited about – the possible return of Scott Derrickson as the film’s director.
Fans Want Scott Derrickson To Return
For those who may not know, Derrickson was the creative genius behind the first Doctor Strange film, quickly becoming a fan-favorite for its breathtaking visuals and mind-bending plot. However, he stepped down from the sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, due to creative differences with Marvel Studios.

Sam Raimi was brought on board to take his place, but some fans felt the sequel didn’t quite live up to the first film. Now, with the news that Doctor Strange 3 is on the way, fans are clamoring for Derrickson to return to the director’s chair. And who can blame them? Derrickson deeply loves and understands the character, and his vision for the first film was stunning.
Of course, nothing has been confirmed yet, but that hasn’t stopped fans from expressing their hopes and dreams on social media. Twitter has been abuzz with fans asking for Derrickson’s return.
