DoctorStrange director Sam Raimi and writer Michael Waldron on putting together Marvel's first horror, expanding the multiverse and following 'Spider-Man: No Way Home.'
” was “a lot,” Waldron says. “It was a lot of weight for this movie to bear, and [simultaneously we had to] keep it focused on our central characters. You just want to find the heartbeats of your story,” he said. “For us, it was Stephen Strange in his journey and Wanda in her story and letting those be your North Stars.”
“Elizabeth came in with a very high understanding of both her character and the work that Michael had done on the script,” said Raimi. “And we had been part of many discussions about her character, working on the script and refining what it was that she felt she needed out of Wanda.
“We were trying to have fun but not be too funny,” said the director. “So it was a different kind of tone that I was going for; not really like those ‘Evil Dead’ movies, which are kind of goofy. But I do like over-the-top visuals, and I think the audience for this movie had a big appetite. I think they came in to see some fantastic things, and we all tried to rise to the occasion. I love working in the Marvel format. I think it was a good blend of what I do and what they do.
"[In the script] I tried to give a basic foundation of what the universe was like, but this being my second MCU project, I knew to trust the production designers and art directors and all those brilliant folks [to execute their own vision],” said Waldron. “I didn’t spend a ton of my time trying to build an entire sci-fi world on the page. I knew I could trust Sam and our collaborators to do that.
