Exclusive: Sam Raimi Says He Wants To Direct ‘Avengers: Secret Wars’

  1. Sam Raimi has been linked to Marvel and the MCU since the early 2000s, with films like the Spider-Man trilogy and, most recently, Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. Fans of Raimi have been waiting and hoping that the director might return to working with Marvel Studios on one of the long-developing projects. Some rumors have even suggested that Raimi is the top choice to direct Avengers: Secret Wars.

    Sam Raimi was attending this year’s WonderCon, amidst the buzz surrounding his latest project, Boy Kills World, we couldn’t resist delving into the longstanding rumors – and Raimi finally addressed the speculation during our conversation.

    Here’s what he had to say about possibly being the top choice to direct the highly anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe movie:

    “I love 90% of the Marvel heroes that I’ve read in the great Stan Lee Marvel Universe comic books. I would love to work with Marvel again. They haven’t reasonably asked me to. I hope they had a good experience with me. They haven’t asked me yet. I hope they do.”

    It’s not far from the realm of possibilities that Raimi could sit in the director’s chair for Avengers: Secret Wars, and he has hope to get the call. Honestly, there should be no doubt that the man can bring the massive MCU comic book event to life – and fans would likely would be thrilled to see this happen. Hopefully, Marvel Studios come knocking soon.

    Raimi has also expressed interested in directing Spider-Man 4 with Tobey Maguire – a movie that fans have made no secret about wanting to see happen – even after all these years.

    For now, fans can see Boy Kills World – a movie Raimi produced with Mortiz Mohr directing – on April 26th. The action-packed martial arts story of revenge with hints of comedy is guaranteed to have something for audiences.

  5. I liked evil dead movies he did, but did not enjoy his Spiderman films or much else he has put out. I think it could be cool to see him do a big popcorn action film again, maybe it would bring new life into the MCU, but I haven’t seen an MCU movie since Black panther came out and that was mediocre. I had the super hero fatigue a lot earlier than everyone else.

  7. I love him, but he did not rein in Waldron’s writing in MOM. Waldron is not a good writer, and we need a director to check him at every opportunity. Would be better if they just hired a good writer, of course…

  10. I love him historically, but please, no. MOM was a mess, and I was horribly disappointed.

  11. Just do Spider-Man 4 Raimi. Don’t worry about the rest.
