Avengers: Endgame - 10 Films That MUST Happen Next

Doctor Strange 2 is all but confirmed, and it looks as though director Scott Derrickson will be back for the sequel. That's great news, as even though the first Strange felt like a typical superhero origin story in places, it was still pretty inventive, and featured some of the best visuals the MCU has seen to date.

The first film took Strange to the Dark Dimension, but as anyone who's familiar with the comics will tell you, it's not the only dimension on offer. Strange is the leader of Marvel's supernatural contingent and his journeys take him to all the realms, having even gone to Hell with Doctor Doom to retrieve the soul of the villain's mother.

Apart from Strange - and maybe Ghost Rider in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - the MCU hasn't ever really dwelled on the supernatural. Strange could be that entrance point into something spookier though, and with fans having requested the likes of Blade and Ghost Rider to appear on screen (again), the sequel could take the franchise in that direction.

Also, who doesn't want to see Mephisto?
