Plans for a Doctor Strange 2 are already underway says the first film’s director Scott Derrickson. Doctor Strange, which is released in UK cinemas from today is getting pretty decent reviews, and forecasts for its box-office both here and the U.S., where it opens next week, are extremely positive.
“I love the character, I love the visual possibilities, and I know the comics so well – [the first movie is] the tip of an iceberg. There’s so much progress that can be made,” Derrickson said in an interview with Den Of Geek.
Rather than its slight comparison with Inception, the filmmaker is looking at a different series of Christopher Nolan films as inspiration. “What made The Dark Knight so great was that the origin story of Batman had been well-told, and then it was time to bring in a villain where you really got to go deep. And not just the Joker, also Two-Face. It was a more visceral experience, I’d love to be able to do that for Doctor Strange.”
