Loki Writer Says DOCTOR STRANGE 2 and SPIDER-MAN 3 Will Have a "Dramatic Impact on The MCU"

As we’ve seen from the first episode of Loki, Marvel is setting up some big and interesting timeline multiverse elements in the MCU. The things that this series will set up will spill over into the upcoming films Doctor Strange: In The Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home.

During a recent interview with Collider, Loki and Doctor Strange sequel writer Michael Waldron confirmed that both of the upcoming films will have “a dramatic impact on the MCU.” When asked about the importance of the films, he went on to say, "Oh boy. You're right. I think that you don't bring Sam Raimi on to make a movie unless it's going to be a big movie."

He went on to talk about all the messes in the MCU that are made that need to eventually be cleaned up, saying, "Well, I think one of the joys of being a writer in the Marvel world is getting to make terrible messes and leave them for your predecessors. Although, occasionally, you find yourself being your own predecessor. For instance, you write the Loki show and then you end up writing Dr. Strange 2, having to clean up your own mess and that can be a lot of fun."

He added, "It's certainly important to define the rules, the background, the history of this organization, as much as we can to tell the story. But ultimately, all that's canon is what winds up on camera. So everything between those lines is open for interpretation, changing and everything. It's like somebody wants to do a story with the TVA moving forward, certainly we can have a conversation and I can tell them, 'Hey, here's what I thought maybe it would be,’ but that's their thing, at that point, and they should take it in their own direction.'"

Marvel fans are very excited and curious about the future of the MCU and how these upcoming projects will change and shape the MCU as the story continues to unfold.
