'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' to film scenes in Norway as MCU gears up for first 'scary' movie
'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' is all set to shoot some of its scenes in Norway.
Norway has been looked at as one of the top shoot locations especially after Scarlett Johansson's 'Black Widow' and Daniel Craig's 'No Time to Die' have some of their sequences filmed in the pristine location. The MCU flick will also be shot in Longcross Studios in Surrey, confirmed a report by HN Entertainment.
On the production front, 'Doctor Strange 2' hit a major snag when it was revealed that Scott Derrickson was exiting the project due to "creative differences".
Previously, Marvel Studios had said, "Marvel Studios and Scott Derrickson have amicably parted ways on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness due to creative differences. We remain grateful to Scott for his contributions to the MCU."
Derrickson tweeted, "Marvel and I have mutually agreed to part ways on 'Doctor Strange: In the Multiverse of Madness' due to creative differences. I am thankful for our collaboration and will remain on as EP."
The official synopsis of the movie reads: "After the events of 'Avengers: Endgame', Dr Stephen Strange continues his research on the Time Stone. But an old friend-turned-enemy seeks to destroy every sorcerer on Earth, messing with Strange's plan and also causing him to unleash unspeakable evil."
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has already revealed that the sequel will be the first "scary" movie to be produced by Marvel Studios. This could also suggest the mind-bending travel concept that is yet to be introduced.
'Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness' sees Benedict Cumberbatch reprise his role as Dr Stephen Strange. Benedict Wong and Chiwetel Ejiofor will appear as Wong and Karl Mordo respectively.
Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Scarlet Witch / Wanda Maximoff in the MCU, is also expected to make an appearance in the movie.
'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' will release in theatres on May 7, 2021.
