It’s the first week of May, and you know what that means, right? The Marvel Studios machine has pumped out another feature and is ready to take over the world yet again. This time, we get “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” and boy, oh boy, The Playlist Podcast has some thoughts.
“Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” brings back Benedict Cumberbatch as the title character, as he goes on a new adventure jumping through various realities thanks to the help of newcomer America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez). Why is he on a quest through the multiverse? Well, he’s trying to save his young friend from the clutches of an evildoer who has nefarious plans for America’s multiversal powers. Joining the duo of Cumberbatch and Gomez are MCU veterans such as Benedict Wong, Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, and some super-secret actors who appear in cameos (read our review).
But for The Playlist Podcast, this discussion is really about Sam Raimi, the director of the film and someone who is beloved by nerds all across the globe. Is the “Spider-Man” filmmaker the right choice to helm the ‘Strange’ sequel? Does Marvel Studios let Raimi do his thing? And, of course, does Bruce Campbell show up?
All this and more will be covered in the latest episode of The Playlist Podcast. Listen below:
