Jade Bartlett has been brought on to write the Benedict Cumberbatch-led sequel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

News on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has been slim to none since the title reveal at San Diego Comic Con this past summer. The Benedict Cumberbatch-led sequel will be the first MCU film to venture into the horror genre and now we know who will write the scares for us. According to Collider, Jade Bartlett will pen the script for the Benedict Cumberbatch-led Doctor Strange sequel, but the outlet is unsure if Bartlett will receive a co-writing credit with director Scott Derrickson.

Details on the Benedict Cumberbatch-led Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness are currently limited, though it is said to be Marvel Studios’ first true foray into the horror genre. The Disney Plus mini-series WandaVision will also serve as the lead-in to the Doctor Strange sequel.

Benedict Cumberbatch is set to reprise his role in Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Directed by Scott Derrickson, the Doctor Strange sequel is said to be Marvel Studios’ first outright horror film and co-stars Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch. Rachel McAdams and Benedict Wong are also expected to return.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 7, 2021.
