Sam Raimi has finally addressed longstanding rumors that he could be in the running to direct Avengers: Secret Wars.
"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," The Evil Dead director told ScreenGeek at WonderCon when asked about the upcoming Avengers movie. "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."
Raimi is no stranger to superhero movies – he previously directed Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which was released in 2022 and saw Benedict Cumberbatch reprise his role as the titular sorcerer as he went up against the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). And, of course, he directed all three Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies, released between 2002 and 2007.
Avengers: Secret Wars is set to hit the big screen on May 7, 2027. In the meantime, make sure you're up to date with the MCU with our guide to the story so far in Marvel Phase 5 and a look at what's to come in Marvel Phase 6.
