Bruce Campbell shares a joke dialogue sheet from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness that ties the movie to Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead. Marvel Studios is currently in production on a Doctor Strange sequel led by Benedict Cumberbatch. After the exit of Scott Derrickson, Marvel drew Sam Raimi back to the superhero genre to steer Doctor Strange 2. The inclusion of the former Spider-Man filmmaker has only increased enthusiasm in what the sequel will contain.

Raimi’s past with superhero movies is partly driving prospect for Doctor Strange 2 but so too is his past with cruelty movies. Marvel Studios head, Kevin Feige, used to describe the sequel as the first creepy movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Raimi is responsible for creating the Evil Dead franchise, and the original 1981 film became his breakout smacked. Campbell got his breakout capacity as Ash in The Evil Dead, which started a decades-spanning partnership with Raimi. Many are excited to see how Raimi exploits his horror background with the MCU, and now Campbell, jokes that the two rights are about to collide.

Campbell exerted April Fool’s Day to “accidentally” share a script sheet from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The phony stage takes Doctor Strange to the Evil Dead macrocosm as he travels through the multiverse. Strange sees the cabin from The Evil Dead and assembles a “disheveled man” with a chainsaw for an arm, clearly meant to be Ash.

Even though this is an April Fool’s Day joke by Campbell, it would be quite something if it wasn’t. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will see Strange explore the wonders of other universes, so theoretically that could conduct him to other movie dealerships. Raimi’s ties to Evil Dead could make this possible, even though they are it only was shaped through ambiguous invokes to the franchise. Fans shouldn’t expect to see Campbell as Ash – or “Disheveled Man” – in Doctor Strange 2, but it would be quite the joke if Campbell did leak his representation on a day where no one will believe it.

Beyond the enjoyable and feeling that comes with Campbell’s joke, it could potentially confirm that he will appear in the sequel. He’s a regular in Raimi’s movies, including cameos in all three of his Spider-Man movies. There are even several recent examples of Campbell teasing his involvement in Doctor Strange 2. This could be another fun tease for a cameo that may or may not happen, but it is also the most direct link Campbell has made to the movie. If he is in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it will be mesmerizing to see who he plays and if there are any Evil Dead connections.
