Netflix took a whole new way of announcing the release date of On My Block Season 4. First, Netflix featured a TikTokker Keyon Elkins’ video about why season 4 took so long to be dropped. Then, the video was adjoined with Jessica Marie Garcia (Jasmine), informing about the release date for the latest season. Jessica revealed that Netflix would release Season 4 on October 4, 2021.

The Sorcerer Supreme will be back soon with a whole new adventure of Doctor Strange 2. Unfortunately, the film’s release date had to be pushed a couple of times due to multiple delays. So finally, we have a date that seems to be the ultimate one. Recently, Benedict Cumberbatch shared his feelings about the departure of Scott Derrickson. Scott was the director of the first edition of Doctor Strange. He was also supposed to be the director of the second part. Unfortunately, Disney replaced him, citing creative differences. 

Moreover, Karen Malik shared the BTS images about the reshoot wrap of Elizabeth Olsen, the infamous Scarlet Witch. Also, as per the reports The Evil Dead director, Sam Raimi, has replaced Derrickson. What’s more? Here is everything we know about Doctor Strange 2. Keep reading further about the release date, Cumberbatch’s views, and more relevant details about Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of madness.

Benedict Felt Sad When Doctor Strange’s Original Director Left

Scott Derrickson, the director of Doctor Strange(2016), is not returning for Doctore Strange 2, citing creative differences. In a recent interview with THR, Benedict Cumberbatch recalled feeling sad about Derrickson’s departure. Scott Derrickson directed and co-wrote the first part of Doctor Strange along with C. Robert Cargill. In addition, Robert also agreed to Derrickson’s vision of the sequel and left along with him. However, the split between Disney and Derrickson has been easy-going, and the former director seems happy about it. Currently, Dickenson is working on a new project as the director and co-writer of The Black Phone, with his Doctor Strange writing buddy C. Robert Cargill.

Benedict Cumberbatch expressed that he felt a bit sad when Disney replaced Scott as the director of Doctor Strange in the Madness of Multiverse. Benedict was in New Zealand filming The Power of the Dog when Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige informed him about Derrickson’s departure from Doctor Strange 2. Further, he added that he felt sad, but he respected the studio’s decisions. Also, he said that it was not his decision to be made, and the split was done “amicably.”

Sam Raimi Will Serve As New Director

After Derrickson’s departure, Disney hired Sam Raimi as the new director for Doctor Strange 2. Raimi is no stranger to high-budget superhero movies and extravagant effects-driven scenes. He directed Spider-man 3 of the Toby Maguire trilogy in 2007. And Doctor Strange 2 will be Raimi’s first superman movie after Spider-man 3. Hopefully, the fans think that including Evil Dead horror specialist Raimi is best for the movie.

Also, following the inclusion of Raimi, the sequel is expected to have a series of scary sequences. Moreover, Elizabeth Olson and Tom Hiddleston will feature in the sequel as Scarlet Witch and Loki, respectively. However, it will be thrilling to see if Raimi fits in Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange 2 and what more he can provide to the sequel.

BTS Image Reveals Reshoot Wrap-up For Elizabeth Olsen

Following multiple pandemic delays, the principal photography of Doctor Strange 2 wrapped up in April 2021. As per Benedict Wong, Director Raimi is set to conclude the finalized reshoots this month. Recently, Hairstylist Karen Bartek shared an Instagram post featuring Elizabeth Olsen in the frame. The BTS image is from one of the film’s makeup trailers featuring Olsen. The caption of the post read, “Not ‘Strange’ Anymore!! Wrapped again.”

Interestingly, no set pictures have been leaked due to Marvel’s secrecy policy. And fans are quite impatient about what will happen next in Doctor Strange in the Madness of Multiverse. Presumably, Olsen will be playing a crucial role in the upcoming feeling, noting she’s just as powerful as Doctor Strange. The fans will probably see the Master of Mystic Arts and Scarlet Witch facing each other in Doctor Strange 2.

Doctor Strange 2: Release date

Disney Studios is set to release Doctor Strange 2 in the United States on March 25, 2022. Although fans expected the movie’s sequel to return soon. In fact, Marvel first set the release date in May 2021. Further, Disney moved the premiere date to November 2021. However, the latest release date of the sequel seems to be the final one. So hopefully, the Sorcerer Supreme will be back will his time stone soon next year. Till then, stay tuned with us for more updates.

It’s been a month or more when Control Z Season 2 landed on Netflix. Although the second run left plenty of questions unresolved, the fate of Control Z Season 3 remains up in the air. Susana fell off the school building while Sofia, Raul, and Maria watched her fall at Pablo’s feet. Meanwhile, Pablo somehow managed to flee with the money without even being caught. But now, it remains unclear whether she survived her fatal fate or the end of her legacy at Colegio Nacional.

Created by Carlos Quintanilla Sakar, Adriana Pelusi, and Miguel Garcia Moreno, the teen drama follows Sofía Herrera’s struggles to find the hacker. One day at a school assembly, a hacker exposed one of the student’s huge secrets. It soon caused humiliation and panic for a closeted transgender student. But after the series of secrets was revealed, everyone started turning on one another. However, before things get dirtier, an introverted teenager Sofía tries to find the hacker behind these nasty events.

Control Z Season 3: Has It Renewed Yet?

Control Z Season 2 landed on August 4, 2021, and now it’s been more than a month since Netflix remains mum about the third season’s fate. Well, the giant streaming platform generally takes a couple of months to decide the show’s future. However, it wasn’t the case with Control Z Season 2. As soon as the first season dropped, Netflix ordered another season to explore the mystery of Colegio Nacional.

But it’s taking more than usual time to decide the fate of the third season. Further, the streamer hasn’t yet revealed the viewership of the second run. However, it gained a mixed response from the fans as well as critics. It garnered positive 67% reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, while it only catered a 6.9 positive response on IMDb. Thus deeming this response, it remains unclear whether the show could return for the next run or not.

Can The Pandemic Affect Its Future?

Well, Netflix canceled many shows last year. However, Netflix’s former content head, Cindy Holland, stated that the show’s renewal status depends on the cost vs. viewership analysis. But it has been seen that pandemic has played a key role in the recent cancelation of the shows. Well, the pandemic has made the entertainment industry proceed cautiously. So it could be a key factor why Netflix is still taking time to return with the third run. However, the streamer neither canceled the show yet. So Control Z’s fans can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

Control Z Season 3: What Will Happen If It Returns?

In the prior season finale, everyone grapples over the bag full of money. But during this, Susana fell off the building. And the pool of her blood hints that she didn’t survive. However, in the final moments, we saw her gasping for air. So, it could imply that she might survive her death. Meanwhile, instead of helping Susana, Pablo quickly picked up the money surrounding her body and escaped to save Natalia.

Can they gather the entire money which requires for rescuing Natalia? Is Susana alive? Well, each season revolved around revenge. So we expect that Control Z Season 3 will explore Pablo’s story. Further, Susana’s fall could bring plenty of issues in everyone’s life as a new character might introduce who’s seeking revenge or answers about Susana’s condition.

Bittersweet news for the fans- Regé-Jean Page has recently opened up about his cameo in Bridgerton Season 2 while filming still remains in limbo. The Regency-era series, Bridgerton, has remained Netflix’s most anticipated series. However, another COVID-case on the set has made fans curious whether the second run could return on time. Meanwhile, Page shared the fate of his character Simon Bassett in the next run. So let’s see whether he could return or not.

Loosely based on Julia Quinn’s novel series of the same name, it took place in Regency-era London in 1813. It follows an aristocratic Bridgerton family as the first season explores widow Violet’s first daughter Daphne’s love story. With Queen’s favor, Daphne meets Simon, who tries to save his bachelordom with Daphne’s help. But he ends up tying the knot with Daphne.

After making the shocking headlines that Regé-Jean Page won’t return as Duke of Hastings, Page finally teased that he might not remain absent for longer in the sophomore run. In an interview with British GQ, Page hints at his possibility to return as Simon Bassett. However, while the magazine asked about his possibility of a cameo in Bridgerton Season 2, Page slyly said he couldn’t tell about it.

But he didn’t deny the possibility of his return as he said it isn’t amazing about getting something you haven’t thought for. Though he didn’t clarify anything, his ambiguous statement teases that Simon could return in a surprising element. Well, in the book’s most iconic scene, Pall Mall’s unusual game changed Anthony’s perspective of Kate. In which Daphne and Simon played a huge part. Now only time will tell if season 2 will portray this iconic scene.

Page Doesn’t Count Himself As Season 2’s Cast

While the second book hints that Page perhaps makes a guest appearance, it still doesn’t make him feel like a part of the cast. He told that he respectfully left the cast WhatsApp group. He said the universe has now expanded, and he no longer feels the part of it. So instead of putting them in an awkward situation where they had to make the unpleasant decision to kick him out, he himself left the group.

While it remains a mystery whether Page could return to Bridgerton, he has already signed for two projects: “Dungeons & Dragons” opposite Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez and “The Grey Man” opposite Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling. Further, there were rumors that Page would play the next James Bond after Daniel Craig’s departure. But it won’t be the case now.
