So now that the Evil Dead remake took the top spot at the box office this weekend, what is next for director Fede Alavarez and his writer Rodo Sayagues?
I’m hearing they’re developing a Marvel movie and sources suspect it’s Doctor Strange.
This being the era of fake denials, I have to CYA on scoops these days so I straight up asked them on twitter and of course they didn’t respond. Now if they come out and deny, it’s not like they weren’t given an opportunity to respond.
Yo @fedalvar I’m hearing that you &@rodosayagues1 might be developing a Marvel movie. Is it DR. STRANGE? No me hablas mentiras por favor.

Regardless, it could be nothing more than a general meeting that the duo took at Marvel since they’re super hot, especially with them taking the top spot at the box office this weekend. Marvel is the biggest heat seeking missile in town. Most likely Alvarez and Sayagues gave a take on a character or characters they would like to work on. The Marvel audition process for directors is a brutal one so if they do end up getting the gig writing/directing a Doctor Strange movie, then they’re going to go through lots of meetings and discussions before things get official. Such is the nature in Hollywood these days. Regardless, heard enough rumblings that I thought inquiring fanboy minds would like to know. Now y’all do!
