I'm a little bummed about this, to be honest. The movie was good, dont get me wrong. I really enjoyed it. But I feel like Strange could be a great option for more of a horror genre movie. And if we get more of the same from Dr. Strange 2, all well and good because it was a solid film, but I feel like it could be something *different* yknow?

Derrickson has a horror background, and while he had to make the first movie more... streamlined, I guess he could definitely use his horror background more for the second movie.
While I have no preference for having a horror inflection I agree that more of the same will not be to my taste. Strange was one of the weaker outings of the MCU. I probably wouldn’t bother to see it at the cinema unless it showed a bit more promise than last time, because I didn’t see the last one at the cinema and never regretted it.
Well, quality of the movie aside, Dr. Strange was one of the few movies that actually looked sooooooooooooooo much better on a large imax/3D screen than it did at home or even in a regular screen.
In regards to DS2, I'm more optimistic because they skipped all the training **** and went straight to Sorcerer Supreme, uber powerful Dr. Strange in IW. So, it should limit that "kung fu with a bit of yellow energy weapons" stuff.
More spells, more cool magic **** instead.
So, thanks russos

He said he had plans for Nightmare if he ever did a second movie, so I imagine there will probably be some horror elements if Nightmare ends up being the main villain of the sequel.
I imagine the sequel will probably deal with Strange becoming the legitimate Sorcerer Supreme.
IW Strange was closer to comic Strange in both personality and abilities so I hope that continues moving forward once Derrickson is back in the directors chair.
(Although in light of Infinity War, will he ever sport the Eye of Agamotto again?)
I think it's a solid film and a worthy inclusion in the MCU. I mean, it's better than 90% of the non-MCU movies out there. We've just been spoiled by films like Winter Soldier and Infinity War that "good" looks pretty bland, yknow?
Definitely not knocking the movie, because it wasn't a bad film at all. It was solid and a good introduction for the character. I just wish that they had taken advantage of Strange and the new (to the MCU) genres he can tap into.
I'd be down with that.
I dont necessarily need a horror vibe with Strange, I just think he opens up options that the other heroes in the MCU don't and that should be taken advantage of. We're ten years and twenty movies into the MCU, without a real flop to their name yet. I dont think they need to play it safe anymore.

So I have been thinking about Phases 4 to 6 when Endgame wraps and am wondering... what do you guys think a suitable equal to Civil War, Infinity War and Endgame might be? I have thought that after probably using Secret Invasion with Avengers, Annihilation with Guardians of the Galaxy and Dark Reign/Seige with Spider-Man and Thor, alongside introducing the FF and X-Men to the MCU with Magneto and Doctor Doom, the ultimate road should be to Avengers vs X-Men, The Coming Of Galactus and finally Secret Wars for Phase 6. What do you guys think?
I would love to see Clea as well. They could have Clea be sent by her uncle Dormammu to act as his agent on Earth against Strange but eventually side with him against her uncle.
Yep, Derrickson has repeatedly said Nightmare would be his villain of choice if he does a sequel.
Cillian Murphy, Bill Skarsgård or Sam Riley would be my top three picks for Nightmare.
Avengers vs. X-Men would be redundant. We already had Civil War, we don't need another one, and they would have to re-introduce the Phoenix Force after next year's Dark Phoenix, and have a House of M type film if they want to keep the essence of the original story, which Disney has been doing so far. They should go with Onslaught or something that has them working together, not another clash. Sequel events don't work in the comics, they may not work in films.
