Will Sam Raimi direct 'Avengers: Secret Wars'? After 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' proved itself to be an instant superhit with a box office collection of $955.8 million, Raimi's name and fame have soared to dizzying heights. Naturally, Marvel has many reasons to trust Raimi with another MCU project. Though Marvel has not yet made any official announcement, the director who started with the 'Spider-Man' movie back in 2002, is considered to be the first choice.

Sam Raimi: Will love to work with Marvel again

Sam Raimi too has evinced interest in the project. Talking to 'Screen Geek' on whether he will direct the highly anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, he said, "I love 90% of the Marvel heroes that I've read in the great Stan Lee Marvel Universe comic books. I would love to work with Marvel again. They haven’t reasonably asked me to. I hope they had a good experience with me. They haven’t asked me yet. I hope they do."

Success of Spider-Man films

It is also a fact that Raimi's Marvel projects have been a massive success. Even 'Spider-Man 3', which came under attack for not being critically successful, earned $894,983,373 at the box office.
