Back in January, Derrickson walked away as director from the sequel to ‘Doctor Strange’ due to ‘creative differences’, he will remain as an executive producer on the title. He took to his social channels to announce his move.
“Marvel and I have mutually agreed to part ways on ‘Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness’ due to creative differences,” Derrickson tweeted. “I am thankful for our collaboration and will remain on as EP.”
Evans comes off the back of the colossal hit ‘Captain America’ and playing the role of the sly and conniving Ransom in Rian Johnson’s ‘Knives Out’. He is currently filming the limited series ‘Defending Jacob’ for Apple+ in which he stars and produces.
