Benedict Cumberbatch debuted as Doctor Strange in Scott Derrickson’s movie, which created a huge buzz around every Marvel fun ever. However, when Sam Raimi replaced Scott, he put his signature stamp of horror features in the movie, which led to facing quite a lot of criticisms even relating to its scripts.

Well, that’s true, and there have been a lot of reports suggesting that Marvel movies go through several reshoots. While talking about it, in an earlier interview, Kevil Feige mentioned, “‘Reshoots’ was a bad word. ‘Oh this movie’s in reshoots, there must be a problem.'”
Kevil Feige further added, “Reshoots are key to our films, starting with Iron Man. We always say we’re smart filmmakers at Marvel, but we’re not geniuses and the best way to give notes on a movie is to watch the movie. So we make the movie and go, ‘Oh yeah, no that’s not right. That doesn’t work,’ and have a system now that can be quite precise and efficient. [Reshoots last] sometimes one day, sometimes fifteen days, sometimes more to continue to go in and make the move the best it can be.”
Well, do you agree with Xochitl Gomez‘s opinion about Doctor Strange 2’s criticisms? Let us know!
