Danny Elfman discusses DoctorStrange 2, reuniting with Raimi on MultiverseofMadness after 'Darkman,' and his Coachella performance.
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.]Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the result of a wonderfully weird marriage between the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the mind of director Sam Raimi, as it takes its titular character on a wild journey where he’s forced to face past actions and decisions as well as alternate versions of himself from the multiverse.
DANNY ELFMAN: The fact that he was doing a Marvel movie, I didn’t expect because Sam seemed so much in his own universe. Of course, I was always hoping that Sam would do a big, crazy, heroic monster movie, or anything in that genre. I love Sam and I love working with him. So, to find out that he was doing that, but in the Marvel universe, was really a surprise, and it speaks to how Marvel is diversifying and reaching out and expanding.
ELFMAN: It feels like it evolves, but it’s still the same Sam, in the end. He’s gonna say, “Bring me the heart.” That’s the thing that Sam really wants in his scores. He’s given me the same message, ever since Darkman. It’s been the same message, from Darkman to Doctor Strange, which is, “Bring me the heart.”
The film went from being more than two and a half hours to about two hours and five minutes, so as that changed, did you have to keep writing new material? ELFMAN: It always feels so different because, with this particular film, I never saw it all put together. I only knew it as six reels, and to see the six reels suddenly playing together is always a shock, the first time you see it. It’s like, “Oh, wow, this goes right into this and this.” When you are used to seeing things on different reels, you imagine things further apart, and then when you see it all edited together, you see how it flows.
ELFMAN: It was a lot of experimenting. When Sam described it to me, honestly, I couldn’t even imagine what the hell he was talking about. He came back to me, during their second round of shooting for this scene and I said, “Okay, I think I understand,” and I started just experimenting with all these different ideas because we weren’t sure how to approach it. First, I had different famous classical music pieces flying up and back.
