Turns out, Doctor Stange in the Multiverse of Madness won't be his last MCU rodeo. Director Sam Raimi is reportedly in consideration to direct Marvel Studios' highly-anticipated “Avengers: Secret Wars.”

Despite rumors of removing original writers for “The Kang Dynasty” and “Secret Wars” projects, Marvel Studios is considering a new director for the latter. At present, Raimi is the leading candidate to direct the MCU reboot. This marks a departure from previous Avengers films. For context, the same director continued from one installment to the next.

What's interesting about Sam Raimi potentially directing the Secret Wars is the comparison to his previous superhero films. Usually, he'd focus on stories centered around a single hero. Take the Spiderman trilogy for example.

Now, Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror is the only confirmed character for these films. However, his continued involvement in the MCU remains uncertain due to ongoing controversies.
