Till now, only one Benedict has been confirmed for the sequel so far (Cumberbatch, obviously). But wed be surprised if Benedict Wong werent back, especially as hes been talking about the filming.
In the most intriguing statement at Comic-Con, Elizabeth Olsen will be a part of the movie as Scarlet Witch, part of the sequels direct ties to the Disney+ show WandaVision.
The main theories are that she will either return as a reluctant ally of Doctor Strange, or shell be a secondary antagonist to Nightmare, as many superhero films have multiple baddies.
Speaking of Nightmare, there have been rumours circulating that Eva Green may cast as the villain, but the actress denied those saying: Me? No! Not that I know of. Not at all. (via Total Film).
At Comic-Con, Derrickson teased that theyre making the first scary MCU film, with Cumberbatch saying: This twist in horror will have everyone gripped Well be going back to trying to destroy him a bit.
But itll, of course, be PG-13 and contain the humour of the first outing, according to Feige, and it may have been in the tone that the creative differences took place although well never really know why Marvel and Derrickson chose to go different ways.
The events of WandaVision will lead Scarlet Witch directly to Doctor Strange for his help with something, especially now that the TV series has been moved forward to 2020, so it will mostly air before the sequel hits the theatres.
If filming takes place in May 2020, then we can see our first teaser for the sequel by the end of this year.
