Bruce Campbell has appeared in so many Sam Raimi movies that if the legendary Evil Dead star doesn’t make a cameo, many fans question whether it was really a Sam Raimi movie. Therefore, it is not unusual for the pair to share a bit of banter from time to time. Campbell shared a photo on his Twitter account that appeared to show Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness director Raimi begging for money to make Spider-Man 4. Of course. It appears in the form of message that has become the signature of online scammers; it is clear that this is not a message from the real Sam Raimi but is one that Campbell found entertaining enough.

In the message that Campbell shared, the supposed request from Raimi reads, “Hi there it’s Sam Raimi the director here. I am trying to make spiderman 4 with the doctor strange budget but Kevin Fiegey (sic) as caught on and pulled the funding. Can you send me 1500 in iTunes gif card codes so I can hire Tony Maguire thanks.” Campbell commented on the image saying, “Boy, that Sam – always hitting people up for money. I will chip in, because I love Tony Maguire.”

Of course, the incorrect naming of Spider-Man star Tobey Magurie and Kevin Feige’s name spelling are the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what is wrong with the message. Whether Campbell himself was sent the message or not, others have mentioned receiving the fake request for iTunes vouchers, which is probably one of the worst scam messages of its kind that has ever been seen.

If Sam Raimi Was An MCU Multiverse Variant, This Message Could Make More Sense

Considering Sam Raimi is directing Marvel’s next multiverse adventure with the sequel to Doctor Strange, it is quite ironic that the “other” Raimi who wrote the message could well be a multiverse variant, which would help explain how “Tony Maguire” and “Kevin Fiegey” appear in the plea. While there is a constant online problem of scam emails and Facebook messenger requests, whoever was behind this one really does need to work on doing a bit more research on their subjects before attempting to gain funds by deception.

There have been rumors that Bruce Campbell could make a cameo appearance in Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness, but so far, there has been no confirmation as to whether this is true or not. Campbell did make an appearance in Raimi’s Spider-Man movies, and considering the rumored number of cameos being lined up in the latest MCU movie, it would be an outrage if the Groovy One didn’t get to be a part of it. Campbell and Raimi have recently worked together behind the scenes as producers on Evil Dead Rise, the latest movie in the long-running horror franchise that kick-started the careers of both Campbell and Raimi over forty years ago. With so much history between them, it makes the scam message even more laughable.
