Latest Movies 2019 | ‘Doctor Strange’ Writer Says He & Scott Derrickson Never Started Penning Sequel
Doctor Strange co-writer C. Robert Cargill has revealed that he and director Scott Derrickson never started writing the sequel.
Doctor Strange has been in the news a lot lately for better and for worse. First director Scott Derrickson left the film due to creative differences with Marvel. It was then discovered that Spider-Man director Sam Raimi was in talks to direct the upcoming film with Loki writer Michael Waldron to help with the script. But apparently whatever they create will be completely original as Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill never started working on the first draft of a script.
Cargill has worked with Scott Derrickson in the past, having collaborated with the director on the horror film Sinister as well as Doctor Strange. Cargill departed with Scott Derrickson from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In response to all the news that was floating around about the Doctor Strange sequel, Cargill decided to clear the air on what he and Scott Derrickson had written so far:
Since it keeps coming up in news stories, it's worth noting that Scott and I never had the opportunity to write a draft of MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS, so whatever they are working with now isn't derivative of our work.
I am of course very excited to see where they take Stephen next.
