DOCTOR STRANGE took in over $677 million in the global box office when it released in fall 2016. Yet, Marvel Studios has not greenlit a sequel for it. While it seems pretty obvious actor Benedict Cumberbatch will return as the Master of the Mystic Arts in another solo movie at some point after AVENGERS 4, the studio has not confirmed it.
However, DOCTOR STRANGE writer C. Robert Cargill spoke about working again with director Scott Derrickson on a sequel while in Austin, via MovieWeb, confirming plans are in the works for Nightmare to be the sequel's main villain. MovieWeb writes:
"Marvel movies work in threes. They also work outside of their threes. Some of the better Marvel films have more than one villain in them. Me and Scott have not laid the groundwork for it but what I can say is that I have a feeling that whatever Nightmare is involved with, Baron Mordo, being somebody who considers himself the defender of natural law will have something to do with it.
"For those of you who have ever read the comics, you know that Baron Mordo has a very particular arc, and that's something we discussed with Chiwetel while working on the first movie. And part of the reason Chiwetel wanted to play Mordo was because he has a definitive ending as a character and it's such a fascinating ending. And I do know that whether we're attached or not, that Marvel plans on working towards that ending and fully realizing Mordo as more than just a cardboard cutout villain, but actually taking him to kind of Loki levels of awesomeness. That's the goal with him."
