Doctor Strange 2 Has Scary Jump Scenes, According to Elizabeth Olsen

Ahead of the premiere of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Elizabeth Olsen teases the possibility of a jump scare moment. Directed by Sam Raimi, the sequel will follow the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home in its multiversal adventure. The movie will also feature the return of Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange after his role in No Way Home and Olsen as Scarlet Witch, who was last seen in WandaVision. At first, director Scott Derrickson was set to helm the sequel after directing the first Doctor Strange movie, but he ultimately parted ways with Marvel Studios due to creative differences.

Along with being notably recognized for the original Spider-Man trilogy, Raimi is also no stranger to the horror genre. In 1981, Raimi created The Evil Dead franchise, which included four feature films and a television series. Recently, Raimi also produced the supernatural horror movie Umma for Sony Pictures, starring Grey’s Anatomy actress Sandra Oh. As a master of the horror genre, audiences have been anxiously awaiting the debut of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which has been said to be Marvel's first true horror movie.

Now, in a new featurette video for the upcoming MCU sequel (via IGN), Olsen praised Raimi for his past endeavors in the horror genre. As she commended his achievements in cultivating a “terrorizing cinema experience” she mentions that Doctor Strange 2 will follow a similar sequence of generating as much tension as possible for the audience. Moreover, Olsen alludes to a pivotal “jump scare moment” in the film. Read her quote below:

“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.”

Since joining Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness after Derrickson’s exit, Raimi had expressed his interest in incorporating suspense and darkness into the highly-anticipated film. Although the film received a PG-13 rating, this does not necessarily mean that the elements of horror are completely off the table. As always, everything in the MCU remains discreet until the release of the film, but Olsen may be hinting toward Raimi's tradition in his past films. In the past, Raimi included multiple jump scare scenes in his original Spider-Man trilogy, without the blood and gore, such as the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe) scare and the horror-tinged hospital scene in Spider-Man 2 with Doctor Ock (Alfred Molina). Moreover, this also isn’t the first time that the MCU has included the renowned scare tactic, as previously seen with Miss Minutes (Tara Strong) in the finale episode of Loki.

Revered as an icon in the horror genre, it is not surprising for Raimi to include elements of horror in the forthcoming film, which includes Marvel zombies and the frightening unknowns of the multiverse. Even if the entirety of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness does not fall under the horror category, audiences can expect to see some of Raimi’s terrifying elements of horror incorporated into the film. Just how scary the movie proves to be remains to be seen, but audiences will find out soon as Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness hits theaters May 6.
