The script for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will reportedly be rewritten by the showrunner for Loki.
Michael Waldron has been hired to work on the script that was previously written by Jade Bartlett, according to THR. Sam Raimi is said to be in talks to direct the film, which is slated for May 7, 2021.

Waldron is the showrunner for the Disney+ series Loki, which will premiere on the service in 2021. In November 2019, Kevin Feige said the Loki series will tie directly into Doctor Strange 2.
Waldron recently served as a producer on Rick and Morty for its fourth season and wrote the episode “The Old Man and the Seat” as well as worked on the fifth season of the NBC-Hulu series Community.
He’s following in the footsteps of his Rick & Morty and Community colleague Dan Harmon, who was brought in to rewrite the first Doctor Strange.

Petey Oneto is a freelance writer for IGN who’s hoping that The New Mutants turns out well so Marvel will hopefully feel comfortable and go all in on the horror for Doctor Strange.
