The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “Multiverse Saga” continues to unfold, with upcoming films and TV shows delving deeper into the concept of alternate realities. However, with Phase 5 still building momentum before Phase 6 kicks in, details on the highly anticipated “Avengers: Secret Wars” remain scarce.
Following his directorial stint on “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” Sam Raimi, the visionary behind the iconic Spider-Man trilogy, found himself at the center of rumors regarding “Avengers: Secret Wars.” In a recent interview with The Wrap, Raimi directly addressed these speculations. When asked about his potential involvement in “Avengers: Secret Wars” or any upcoming Marvel projects, Raimi expressed his enthusiasm for future collaborations, stating, “I don’t have any plans. But I would love it!”
This response clarifies the current situation: while Raimi isn’t officially attached to “Avengers: Secret Wars” or any confirmed Marvel projects, he remains open to the possibility of returning to the MCU. This sentiment echoes a previous interview with ScreenGeek, where Raimi acknowledged his enjoyment of working with Marvel and his admiration for a vast majority of Marvel heroes.
While fans may be disappointed by the lack of immediate confirmation, Raimi’s openness keeps the door open for future collaborations. The success of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” demonstrated Raimi’s ability to blend his signature style with the established MCU framework. This successful marriage of creative visions could pave the way for Raimi to tackle another project within the vast Marvel universe.
With the “Multiverse Saga” still in its early stages and the MCU constantly expanding, there’s a chance Raimi could find himself behind the camera for a future film, whether it’s a smaller-scale character story or a large-scale ensemble piece like “Avengers: Secret Wars.” Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: Sam Raimi’s passion for the Marvel universe and his proven talent make him a potential asset to future MCU endeavors.
