According to Raimi, the irony of the situation did not escape him, although the director himself was not the main fan of the character.
I liked Doctor Strange as a child, but he always walked after Spider-Man and Batman, somewhere in the top five of the best comic book characters.

But when Raimi left a reference to the hero, he did not think that in the end he would really make a film about him.
When we had that moment in Spider-Man 2, I didn’t even imagine that one day I would shoot Doctor Strange, so it’s very funny that such a moment happened to be in the film.
Sam Raimi
Finally, the director added that he would like to have the gift of insight that would reveal to him such an unusual future.
Second part “Doctor Strange” will be released in cinema in November 2023.
