Warning: Spoilers Ahead For Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness!

Sam Raimi's Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is poised to be another breakout, landmark installment of the MCU. While it's Raimi's first entry in the Universe, it's far from the director's first time behind the camera.

Fans of the auteur know that he has a few stalwart players he works with, again and again, and none more prominently than Bruce Campbell. After starring in the director's first film, The Evil Dead, Campbell has popped up in various subsequent movies, though usually for a length of time far shorter than his on-camera time as Ash Williams.

Campbell's isn't the only cameo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but it's one of the best.

He stars as Pizza Poppa, a street vendor who has a hard time believing that the Doctor Strange he's seeing is actually a Doctor Strange. Campbell's character, instead of respecting the Avenger, grabs for his cloak. Neither Strange's cloak nor the sorcerer himself like the invasion of personal space, so he puts a special enchantment on Pizza Poppa that makes him smack his own head...for weeks.

An anomaly in Raimi's filmography, Oz the Great and Powerful nevertheless found a role for Campbell alongside stars Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, and James Franco, reteaming with both Campbell and Raimi after the Spider-Man trilogy.

As Winkie Guard, Campbell is covered in thick prosthetics, and, were it not for the actor's iconic and prominent facial features, he would almost certainly be unrecognizable. Like other Campbell cameos, the actor serves as a minor adversary to the protagonist, but there were other bit roles that proved more fun.

Maître d' In Spider-Man 3 (2007)

Bruce Campbell's cameo in Spider-Man 3

Campbell adopts a somewhat exaggerated French accent for his role as the maître d' working at the restaurant where Peter Parker plans to propose. The man does his best to assist the process by putting an engagement ring in Mary Jane Watson's champagne flute. Unfortunately, like most aspects of Parker's life, it doesn't go to plan.

Spider-Man 3's reputation precedes it, but Campbell's scene is a fan favorite, and his screentime is an expansion on his roles in the first two films of the trilogy.

Snooty Usher In Spider-Man 2 (2004)

One of Raimi's highest-grossing movies, Spider-Man 2, is also arguably his best. Unlike in the first film, where Campbell's role was nothing more than a cameo, his role in Spider-Man 2, as the snooty usher, gives him a little more to do.

When Peter Parker is trying to get into the theater to watch Mary Jane's play, the usher guarding the door is initially helpful, instructing Parker to straighten his tie with a smile. However, the usher then proceeds to bar Parker from entering the theater at all, forcing the young man to fail the love of his life yet again.

Ring Announcer In Spider-Man (2002)

If Raimi makes a fourth Spider-Man movie, it stands to reason he'll bring Campbell back. Perhaps, in an effort to come full circle after a 15-year delay, the actor could play the same role he took on in the original film: the ring announcer who gives Spidey his name.

Campbell's part in Spider-Man (2002) stands as arguably the actor's most iconic bit role to date, even if his roles in the two sequels managed to be even funnier. Even still, Campbell is the one responsible for coining the first web-slinger's forever name.

Final Shemp In Darkman (1990)

Before Raimi adapted the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man for the big screen, he created a law-enforcer of his own named Darkman.

Liam Neeson stars as Dr. Peyton Westlake, a scientist whose lab is destroyed by mob boss Robert G. Durant and his crew of goons. Utilizing his brains and the few remaining tools at his disposal, Westlake creates synthetic skins to resemble the various members of Durant's gang, even the big man himself. Campbell is in the final shot of the film, his face serving as the final disguise audiences see Neeson's Darkman put on.

Renaldo "The Heel" In Crimewave (1985)

Bruce Campbell as Renaldo the Heel in Crimewave (1985)

While not one of Rami's highest-rated movies on Rotten TomatoesCrimewave is an interesting novelty from the director's early years. Told in part through flashbacks, the plot follows Victor Ajax, a man who starts the film on death row.

The offbeat movie, co-written by the Coen brothers, features Campbell in the antagonistic role of Renaldo "The Heel." Ajax is an innocent man, and "The Heel" is the reason why he's currently sitting in an electric chair.

Ashley 'Ash' J. Williams In The Evil Dead (1981)

Raimi was 21-years-old when he and Campbell gathered up some other friends to head into the woods to make The Evil Dead. Still scary even for modern audiences, the straight horror film was followed by increasingly comedic sequels.

Fans love Campbell's Ashley "Ash" Williams in the original film, but there's near-universal consensus that Evil Dead II (1987) and Army of Darkness (1992) featured the actor more in his element. Evil Dead II's screwball remaking of the original allowed him to embrace the Looney Tunes-come-to-life style that audiences have come to find so endearing. The trilogy-capping Army of Darkness also has a large group of fans, most of whom gravitate towards it finally making Ash a full-blown hero.
