Boss Logic Imagines Bruce Campbell as Mister Sinister for Sam Raimi’s ‘Doctor Strange’ Sequel
To be clear right off the bat, Bruce Campbell has not (yet) been cast in Sam Raimi‘s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, nor do we know if Marvel villain Mister Sinister will even be in the movie or not, so please don’t get your hopes up. But since Campbell has been having a little fun with the idea of joining the cast, Boss Logic is having a little fun as well.
After all, Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell kinda go hand-in-hand, yeah?
Boss Logic’s latest bit of fan(tasy) casting imagines the horror icon as Mister Sinister, the Chris Claremont and Marc Silvestri-created supervillain who made his first appearance back in 1987. The character, to date, has not actually appeared in a live-action film, so he would needless to say be a fresh villain for Raimi to bring into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
And Campbell, well, he’d be pretty inspired casting for the role…
It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
