Elizabeth Olsen has disclosed that Doctor Unusual 2 is shaping up to be a nervous installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"It's a very scary film," she said in a Q&A at the New York Film Academy (H/T Silver screen Spout). "It's like old Sam Raimi. They'ray trying to create the scariest Marvel movie."

It's non a huge surprise that the sequel might follow scary, as director Raimi is probably best far-famed for his figure out in the repugnance literary genre with The Maleficent Malfunctioning movies – and the Spider-Man trilogy starring Tobey Maguire. Olsen has also already hinted that the sequel wish have a bit of fear factor, explaining: "IT's a bonkers movie, they'ray definitely going for that repugnance record vibration."

The plot of Doctor Strange 2 is being kept tightly covert, but from the official title – Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness – it's slow to guess that it will involve aggregate timelines and realities. Author Michael Waldron, who is also the showrunner of Loki, recently said the sequel got scarier once Raimi joined the project: "I'm glad that in that respect was the chance to possibly push information technology in a slenderly scarier direction, clean because Sam does that and then well."

Spoilers out front for the Loki finis, which saw the multiverse shove off wide unsettled when Sylvie killed Jonathan Majors' character reference He Who Stiff (who probably isn't actually Kang the Conqueror, but rather Immortus) and splintered the Sacred Timeline once and for all.

IT seems the fallout of this decision will have a huge impact on the MCU going forward, well-nig likely start with Spider-Man 3, AKA Spider-Man: No Path Home. The threequel is heavily rumored to involve a multiverse ingredient, with Maguire and Saint Andrew Garfield said to be reprising their roles every bit their respective versions of Peter Parker, Jamie Foxx reportedly returning every bit Electro, and Alfred Molina confirming atomic number 2'll atomic number 4 back as Doc Ock.

Then there's What If…?, the enlivened series exploring alternate versions of familiar Marvel stories. Tom Hiddleston said the show "sets up a whole bunch of stuff in the MCU," so expect IT to be more important than information technology may seem when the first installment arrives to Disney Plus this Lordly 11.

Interestingly enough, Hiddleston is reportedly expected to appear in Doctor Strange 2. With Loki's magic, Wanda's reality-bending abilities, and Stephen Fantastic's own powers, it seems the sequel is shaping up to be a very wild ride.
