In fairness, a Doctor Strange sequel doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t perish in Endgame; he could return for an adventure set in a different time period.
Despite this, Marvel president Kevin Feige confirmed back in June that Doctor Strange 2 would be set “a number of years on” from the first film, so Marvel fans should keep their fingers crossed for a happy ending in Avengers: Endgame.
It’s been announced that Scott Derrickson will return to direct a follow-up to Doctor Strange that will see Benedict Cumberbatch return as the superhero.
The confirmation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next sequel changes things in a big way.
