Wong was on - hand for Denver ’s Pop Culture Con when ( of course ) he was asked about the status of theDoctor Strangesequel . consort to the histrion ( viaLRM Online ) , the film has a writer - one he did n’t name , but affirm he met atEndgame ’s premiere - and he believes it"may be happening some time next year " .
Earlier this yr , it was reported thatDerrickson ’s frequent cowriter , C. Robert Cargill , was in talks to return for theDoctor Strangesequel . However , it ’s difficult to say if Wong was referring to Cargill here . His comment advise he metDoctor Strange 2 ’s writer for the first time atEndgame ’s premiere , which means there could be a third author involved with the film ( assuming Derrickson and Cargill are cowriting the script again ) . Either path , it appears the sequel is still firmly in pre - production way and wo n’t be quick to begin production until next class , like Wong indicated . Even so , there ’s a middling chanceDoctor Strange 2will be the first MCU movie out of the logic gate in 2021 , afterBlack Widow(which is now filming ) andThe Eternals(which is quickly filling out its cast ) take the two MCU firing date Disney ’s reserved for 2020 .

Doctor Strange 2is also look to deal with the(presumed ) destruction of the Time Stone inEndgameand reveal how that impacts Strange and Wong ’s power to defend the universe from charming threats . In short : Thanos may be gone , but Doctor Strange ’s work is far from done .
