According to The Hollywood Reporter, Scott Derrickson has left Marvel Studios’ upcoming Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness.

The article sites “creative differences (essentially a meaningless term)” and while it seems that that the parting was amicable (Derrickson remains as executive producer), something tells me that the reason for his leaving was his intention to take the sequel in more of a horror-orientated direction.

And if true that’s particularly odd because Derrickson’s bailiwick has always been horror movies.
