5. Doctor Strange Will Return

Doctor Strange 2 isn't officially confirmed yet, but the end of the movie suggests that it's almost certainly going to happen.

Not only does it setup a sequel nicely, but it then states that 'Doctor Strange will return'. Sure, it might just mean his roles in Thor and Infinity War, but it seems pretty likely it's confirming a sequel will happen (unless the movie totally bombs at the box office, which seems unlikely).

Marvel have a very full slate, but they've neatly positioned Benedict Cumberbatch to lead the next generation of Marvel heroes - Doctor Strange 2 will likely be at the forefront of Phase 4.
