With Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness opening in theaters around the world this weekend, I recently got to speak with director Sam Raimi about making the highly anticipated sequel. During the brief but fun interview, Raimi talked about how modern technology like Zoom helped him make the film and how the cameos were done “to titillate the fans and surprise them, to make them gasp, to give them, not exactly what they expected, but something that they would love.”

In addition, Raimi talked about what the editing process with Marvel is like, how he expects two or three deleted scenes will be on the eventual Blu-ray, and his first cut of his film, which ran two hours and forty minutes. If you’re not aware, the finished film runs about two hours and five minutes and includes a lot of the additional photography done late last year. So, Marvel definitely has a lot of deleted scenes from this film. The big question is how many we will get to see…

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong as Wong, Rachel McAdams as Dr. Christine Palmer, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo. Also, along for the ride is Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez.
