Multiverse of Madness director Sam Raimi explained how Doctor Strange would react to any cameo surprises - here’s what you need to know.
Let’s say there’s a character from another universe — maybe from the Marvel movies that Fox did — who suddenly shows up in the movie. That’s very exciting for the audience, but it feels like that excitement of recognition could push you out of the story. How do you balance that?
That’s where Raimi explained what the cameos will feel like for characters like Doctor Strange, hinting that he’ll be oblivious to what is happening. That’s because some of the iconic characters the audience sees mean nothing to him: I think if that situation appears, sometimes the best answer is to just let the character who’s experiencing this new character react truthfully. Now, if there was a famous character from another universe that appeared in, I’m not sure that our Doctor Strange would even know who he was; he might blow him off and not make it any big deal at all.
I think a truthful response can sometimes be the funniest or the most engaging for an audience. You put them in a position like, ‘Man, you don’t know who that guy is? Oh, my God!’ It’s like if some schmo was meeting James Bond onscreen for the first time, and said, ‘Buddy, you’ll have the martini the way I serve it. Get me?’ ‘Don’t you know that’s James Bond?!’ That’s a different kind of fun for the audience to have.
The news clip has Strange being confronted by Captain Carter for the first time. And there’s some shield throwing that goes on in it. You can watch the video below, while Raimi’s full interview is available
