MUMBAI: Filmmaker Scott Derrickson is stepping down as director of Marvels "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness".

Derrickson, who oversaw the first "Doctor Strange", will remain attached to the project as an executive producer.

"Marvel Studios and Scott Derrickson have amicably parted ways on ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness' due to creative differences. We remain grateful to Scott for his contributions to the MCU," read the statement by Marvel.

Derrickson also said the decision was mutual.
