Benedict Cumberbatch praises Doctor Strange 2 director Sam Raimi, calls him an “incredible force”

March 13, 2021 by Liam Waddington

With the second Doctor Strange instalment, titled Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, currently filming, star Benedict Cumberbatch has provided his thoughts on director Sam Raimi – who took over directorial duties from Scott Derrickson.

In an interview with Collider, Cumberbatch had nothing but praise for the Spider-Man and Evil Dead director, stating that Raimi has been very collaborative thus far and even called him “an incredible force.”

“Sam, amazing. He’s so collaborative. God, he comes with the baggage of an icon. He’s an incredible force, especially in this genre. But he’s so humble, he’s so nice, he’s so appreciative, you really wanna serve him. And boy, when he’s happy, you know you’ve done something right. He’s so good at getting you there and getting it there. It’s been a very, very collaborative process, this one. Our origin stories, I guess, and obviously the beasts that were the Avengers films to be a part of were a thrill, but you’re kind of just along for the ride. You do the best with what you’ve already got given to do. The second time around, there’s a bit more of, ‘So, what do you want to do, and how do we go about solving this?’ So it feels very creative. Scarily so, sometimes.”
