Former Marvel Director Open to Return
A studio known for its repeated collaboration with filmmakers, a recent statement has shown a former Marvel director is open to returning.
From the problematic Joss Whedon to the fantastically creative Russo Brothers, to the incredibly efficient Jon Watts, Marvel Studios is known for a commitment to filmmakers who bring their incredible visions to life.

However, it is a process that doesn’t always go smoothly, with many directors in the past exiting projects over creative differences with the studio.
For every Watts or Russo Brother, who end up finishing their projects, there is acclaimed auteur Edgar Wright, who was replaced by Peyton Reed for 2015’s Ant-Man or a Patty Jenkins, who Alan Tayler replaced for Thor: The Dark World.

But if a talented director is willing to collaborate on the creative process, and comes into a Marvel project with an understanding that the MCU requires delicate handling by those who understand the universe, Marvel has always shown a willingness to reward their creativity with many blank canvases.
Now, it appears that one of those exited filmmakers is seeking a second go at the MCU, as a former Marvel director is open to returning to the massive Cinematic Universe.

Scott Derrickson was the immensely creative force behind 2016’s Doctor Strange, acting as one of the vital pieces that formed the character that we know today.
With creative differences being cited as the reason the director exited the sequel to his 2016 film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it has been reported that Derrickson enjoyed his time with the Studio, and is very open to the idea of coming back at some point.

In a Twitter response to a question regarding his time with Marvel, Derrickson stated, “I loved working with Marvel and would absolutely do it again.”
With his understanding of the Marvel Method for filmmaking and past experiences in the vast world of the MCU, it feels as though a reunion between the two parties would be in both of their best interests.
