One of the leading Doctor Strange 2 cast members, Elizabeth Olsen quite recently shared her thoughts on the upcoming Doctor Strange sequel film, titled Doctor Strange And The Multiverse Of Madness. While on the subject, the WandaVision star had to say that the movie, which is a Sam Raimi directorial, is something "more than just a glossy Indiana Jones movie" as per a report on ScreenRant. Additionally, she implied that director Sam Raimi, who has famously helmed the Evil Dead movies, has gone back to his horror movie roots for the film, something that many of the audience members had felt when they saw Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy.

Elizabeth Olsen on Sam Raimi's Doctor Strange 2:

While talking about what does the film look like as of now, Olsen said that the goal was for the film to feel more like a Sam Raimi movie, but, as per her own admission, it has become something much darker than that. While adding to the same, the actor even spoke about how has the director played around with certain technicalities of the camera in order to achieve the feel of a horror movie, but not what his other pieces of work that he has done in the West. She even went on to imply that there's a constant sense of thrill and horror, which is only complimented by the kind of trickery that the makers have imbued into the film's plot. These comments from the WandaVision star come after Michael Waldron's take on the same, through which he compared Benedict Cumberbatch's Stephen Strange to the late Anthony Bourdain and Strange's time-hopping adventures to that of Bourdain's excursions around the globe. Olsen will be seen reprising her role of The Scarlett Witch in this film, which will also explore the existence of a multiverse in the MCU.
