Doctor Strange Director Talks Specifically About Which Villain He'd Like To Bring To The Screen In Sequels

Doctor Strange is a great thrill ride, and I had an excellent time with it. However, as many of you will know, the film isn't out in the US yet, but as is always the case with these event films, we are already talking about sequels.

Director Scott Derrickson got oddly specific about what he would like to see in a future Doctor Strange film too. Speaking to IGN, he talked specifically about wanting to see Nightmare and the Nightmare Realm become part of the MCU. He said:

I really like the character of Nightmare and the concept that the Nightmare Realm is a dimension. […] That's early, that's like the first Strange tale. I think that's in the introductory episode of Doctor Strange, and I always loved that.

He said the villain was even considered for the first film, but ultimately thought it might be just a little too much for an introduction.

We decided not to do that because that's a bit of a complex idea to try to introduce everything we do introduce and introduce the idea of nightmares themselves as being a dimension. I hope somewhere down the line we do get to explore that because I think that's super cool concept.

And you know, that would be cool to see. The film does set up some potential villains for the future, but I'm sure there is room for more.
