Sorry to hear about his house. He’s also signed on to direct a Stephen King adaptation called The Breathing Method, for 2020, so that’s probably why there’s a five year gap. We'll see if that goes anywhere for Derrickson. Main reason I wonder that is because he previously was attached to showrunning TV show adaptations of Joe Hill's (son of Stephen King) 'Locke and Key', and 'Snowpiercer', before leaving them after creative differences (if I remember correctly).

I know Derrickson is proud of his work, even the ones that aren't well received, but I don't know if this means he's hard to work with or not. If so, it might've been a miracle that 'Doctor Strange' turned out as good as it did, and hopefully the sequel will too.
