With only a few days left before the arrival of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in theaters, a new featurette has been dropped for the upcoming sequel on how the vision for the movie is mind-bending. In the clip, the star who plays Wanda Maximoff/ Scarlet Witch, Elizabeth Olsen, teases the fans on what to expect in the film: prepare for jump-scare moments.
In the featurette, Elizabeth Olsen praised the director of the movie, Sam Raimi, for his special touch on the film, “Sam’s become known for this terrorizing cinema experience. He’s creating as much tension as possible for the audience, just ready for them to have that jump scare moment.” In various teasers, there is a touch of horror in the upcoming sequel and this may be what Olsen is pertaining to.
Even with the PG-13 rating of the movie, Sam Raimi still got the chance to include some horror elements and this is where he is an expert. No matter what the limitation is, he could inject these scenes and make it cohesive with the rest of the materials. Sam Raimi, after all, has history with being in the horror genre.
Other teasers show Scarlet Witch with blood dripping on her face, that, in itself, is horrifying. Add to that the footages of Doctor Strange being a zombie, Gargantos wreaking havoc in the city, and so much more.
