In the Multiverse of Madness, director Scott Derrickson discusses his departure from doctor Strange. The first solo doctor Strange film, directed by Derrickson and starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, rachel McAdams, Tilda Swinton, and Mads Mikkelsen, was released in 2016. Before his future crossovers into Avengers and Spider-Man flicks, the film established the titular character in the MCU. Derrickson was supposed to return to helm the sequel, but he dropped out early due to "creative issues," but he stayed on as an executive producer.

Sam Raimi, the filmmaker of army of Darkness and Spider-Man, took over for Derrickson and released the sequel earlier this month. doctor Strange 2 has grossed $703 million globally so far. Meanwhile, Derrickson is poised to helm Ethan Hawke in an adaptation of Joe Hill's short tale The Black Phone, which will be released next month. The horror thriller follows in the footsteps of Derrickson's previous work, which includes The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

Derrickson discusses his abrupt leave from doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in a new interview with Empire Magazine, revealing that it had less to do with artistic disputes and more to do with his mental health. Derrickson reveals that he'd been in treatment "for a number of years dealing with early childhood trauma" as a result of growing up in a violent neighbourhood and environment, which was still an issue for him. "Everybody got beaten with a belt — or worse," Derrickson recalls of his childhood.
