Bruce Campbell not only has perhaps the most famous chin in film history; it is not without reason that his biography also bears the title “If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of AB Film Actor”* – but has been in front of the camera of director legend Sam Raimi since the 1970s. And so the American is not only the face of the ‘Dance of the Devils’ saga, but he also always appears in the filmmaker’s comedic film adaptations – not only in ‘Darkman’ (with Liam Neeson, among others), but before that especially in his Marvel blockbusters.
Bruce Campbell has made small guest appearances in all of Saimi Raimi’s Marvel films – both in “Spider-Man“, “Spider Man 2” And “Spider Man 3“ both with Tobey Maguire and in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness“. And for fans of the duo, those cameos have become an absolute highlight that they look forward to again and again – and also like to keep an eye on Campbell instead of following the story of the film. But as the actor has now revealed, there may be more to his brief appearances than just Easter eggs for those in the know.
In an interview with Campbell has now revealed that his characters from the ‘Spider-Man’ trilogy and ‘Doctor Strange’ are one and the same person. Although he took on roles as diverse as head waiter, tour guide, and, most recently, pizza salesman for the films, there seems to be a connection between them – which shouldn’t be surprising given the current situation in the comic book universe. . In any case, it is “a big mistake” to believe that Campbell only plays simple, seemingly unimportant characters. “It’s called the Multiverse after all, my friend. So yes: it’s the same character, but we don’t know who he really is. It hasn’t been revealed yet,” said Bruce Campbell.
In the same breath, though, he reveals that he recently talked to Marvel about it – and they’re close to finding out what’s really behind this guy popping up here and there. So we can look forward to at least one more cameo from Campbell, which could shed some light on the matter. Possibly in “Avengers 5: The Kang Dynasty” or “Avengers 6: Secret Wars” – after all, Sam Raimi is said to have a good shot at directing:
