Sam Raimi is staying in the MCU as he’s all but closed a dealdirect ‘Doctor Strange 3’ (via The InSneider).
In July, Raimi signed on to direct the horror thriller “Send Help.” It remains unclear whether Raimi will direct that movie first, or ‘Doctor Strange 3.’Here’s hoping he chooses the horror-thriller.
I also wish Raimi more luck in directing this latest ‘Doctor Strange’ movie than the last one. “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” although it grossed $955M worldwide, was not that well received critically or by fans and had a pre-production filled with drama.
Raimi only came on board ‘Multiverse of Madness’ after original director Scott Derrickson parted ways with Marvel due to “creative differences.” The script had many rewrites up to that point — an actor in the film claimed it had been rewritten 33 times.
The Marvels grossed 206.1 million. Guardians 3 grossed 845.6 million. Quantumania grossed 476.1 million.
I’m not trying to convince you to like them boss, I’m just answering your question of “Does anyone actually watch MCU movies anymore…?” which is a resounding: Yes, they do.
Two of the three movies you named, lost hundreds of millions of dollars…

I wasn’t trying to prove their profitability, I was trying to prove that yes, people watch them in response to you asking if people watch them still.
