Well, hey.
That's a bit of damper, considering how much time he put in and how excited he was to helm it.
I wonder if "Loki" tying into this film is the straw that broke the camel's back.

Well, that's sad. I wasn't really impressed with what Derrickson did with the first one, but this isn't inspiring much confidence either.
That's a shame, considering that WB has the market cornered on larger budget horror directors.
Perhaps it's time to raid Universal/Blumhouse.
A few weeks ago Derrickson tweeted something like "studio release dates are the enemy of art" so I'm pretty sure the dude just wasn't feeling comfortable in that environment.
Losing Derrickson isn't that bad, Dr.Strange requires a director with vastly more vision and crazy shit than what he's delivered.
Yep, there were definitely warning signs of this.
Dude probably wanted more time to develop the movie, But Feige can't allow it.
And with how the MCU is structured now, production schedules are ramped up faster than ever.
It's a double edged sword with what they are doing right now, trying to connect everything together for real this time.

I'm enjoying watching posters I hate argue with each other.
It's the little things.
There was a poster that called Feige a bald bitch. That was uncalled for
The original Doctor Strange is really weak, and one of my least favorite MCU movies. But Derrickson seemed really passionate about the property and has been talking about the sequel for years now. With the wheels already in motion, I can't imagine the movie being better off without him.
The same was said after Ant-Man 1. It did work out thanks to Reed's ideas mixed with the original script. I wonder if Cargill will jump ship with Scott.
The Ant-Mans are both like, bottom five MCU movies for me - the only thing I really like is the casting, which was from the Wright era. So that's not encouraging lol
Executive Producer I assume in this case means 'my contract says my name gets to be in the credits' rather than any active involvement
Hold up a second. Whannell's next film after Invisible Man is an Escape From New York remake?
Eh, I thought that Dr Strange was the weakest Phase 3 movie so I can't say that this news is an issue.
This just reminded me that doctor strange was phase 3, holy shit. It feels like forever

He signed on to it sometime last year, but it seems like one of those movies that are perpetually in development.
I'm one of those who wanted Scott Derrickson out after Doctor Strange, but I'm bummed seeing him go, as he was passionate about finally playing with the horror and gothic elements that drew him to the character and his mythology in the first place.
And Eternals' gonna be fire.

Trilogy!?.... he hadn't even made it though a sequel.
He gets to join that list of directors that didn't even get a sequel, he didn't get far enough to qualify for the list of directors that didn't get to make a trilogy.

I can't believe we're getting Sersei and Black Knight onscreen. 90s Avengers here we come!
I thought he was confirmed to do the next one? Though Spider-Man will likely end up going past a trilogy.
The last two times we've had late director switches in the MCU were Ant-Man and Thor 2, which I would view as the two weakest entries. The last two times Disney/LucasArts did it for Star Wars were Solo and Episode 9, both of which were maligned and had disappointing performances. The odds of this being great are very low. With that said, I think it could still be decent or maybe even good. If not, hopefully we get a recovery for the third entry like with Thor Ragnarok.
Yep. I tend to avoid it. It's the same annoying trolls shitting up the threads
Exactly. There never was even a 0.1% chance that New Mutants would be part of the MCU. Even if mutants were already fully introduced to the MCU. Feige is not going to let an external movie dictate part of the MCU's story, characters and casting. There's just no chance, even if the movie would be a veritable masterpiece. Hell, there's a bigger chance you'll see someone from AoS showing up in the movies, and the chances for that are already as close to zero as possible.
Talking about non-Marvel-Studios-produced movies making it into the MCU, what you guys think are the chances that the Deadpool movies are retroactively incorporated into the MCU, given Ryan Reynolds' recent comments that they're working on Deadpool 3 under Marvel Studios?
With Deadpool being as meta as it is, I'd say retroactively incorporating the first two into the MCU doesn't really mean anything. They were in a different continuity, the Fox one, and retroactively saying that that was MCU doesn't really do anything (except, perhaps, incorporating all the Fox X-Men into the MCU). He's quite able to stand outside continuity, or, simply stand within his own continuity. I still think the connections between Deadpool 3 (and onwards) and the MCU are going to be mostly one sided. Deadpool will make jokes about being the MCU, there will be cameos from MCU characters, but.. I just don't really see Deadpool crossing over into another MCU movie. Perhaps it's partially because I wouldn't like Deadpool's fourth wall breaking in any other MCU movie. But, since we 'know' Deadpool will stay R-rated, I'm still wondering if that might be another reason not to associate Deadpool with the rest of the MCU too closely. We'll see, I guess.
Now, whether Deadpool will bring his supporting cast with him, and if so, who.. that's a good question. I could see him being the only one to make the jump (perhaps with the old lady and the taxi driver), but, it'll be fun to see what they choose to do and how they'll do it.
I try to keep my distance from those threats beyond a post or two. Especially now, I'm not even touching that thread with Sephiroth's sword.
I can't believe we're getting Sersei and Black Knight onscreen. 90s Avengers here we come!
I can't stop seeing Sersi being played by Emilia Clarke in those panels lol
