Well, it may take some time to digest the latest Doctor Strange film.<\/p>\n

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/a> saw our hero, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, go on a journey through multiple universes to protect young superheroine America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez).<\/p>\n

Throughout the sequel, Strange faces multiple threats as he also crosses paths with Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen).<\/p>\n

The film also saw returns for the likes of Benedict Wong as Wong, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo and Rachel McAdams as Dr Christine Palmer.<\/p>\n

That is before even taking into account all of the surprise cameos in the sequel \u2013 some of which had been rumoured for a while.<\/p>\n

In our RadioTimes.com review for Doctor Strange 2<\/a>, we gave our verdict on the film and we had some mixed feelings.<\/p>\n

So, as the dust settles, we must take stock when it comes to the Doctor Strange 2 ending and look to the future.<\/p>\n

Which, of course, means that we shall ask the question: will there be a Doctor Strange 3?<\/p>\n

Here is everything we know so far about a potential third Doctor Strange film.<\/p>\n

**Spoiler warning for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness**<\/strong><\/p>

Will there be a Doctor Strange 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Doctor Strange 3 has yet to be confirmed<\/strong> by Marvel Studios.<\/p>\n

The Multiverse of Madness certainly suggests more for Doctor Strange and his supporting characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but whether this is in another film in the series, a Disney Plus television show or a crossover movie, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Factors affecting this confirmation likely include the box office revenue for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.<\/p>\n

We will be sure to update this page as soon as we know more.<\/p>\n

When could a potential Doctor Strange 3 be released?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Considering that Doctor Strange 3 has not yet been confirmed or \u2013 as far as we know \u2013 even entered pre-production, we have little idea of a potential release date.<\/p>\n

However, there was a six-year gap between the first Doctor Strange film and the Multiverse of Madness, albeit not helped by the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Either way, we are likely a few years off from any release of Doctor Strange 3 \u2013 so expect it at the earliest of 2025 or even later!<\/p>\n

Who could be in the cast for a potential Doctor Strange 3?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The following cast members would likely reprise their roles from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in a potential sequel.<\/p>\n

  • Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Stephen Strange<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Charlize Theron as Clea<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Benedict Wong as Wong<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Xochitl Gomez as America Chavez<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>

    Of course, Benedict Cumberbatch would need to return as Doctor Stephen Strange, accompanied by Benedict Wong as the Sorcerer Supreme, Wong.<\/p>\n

    Considering they adopted her as their apprentice in the conclusion of the second film, America Chavez would also likely return, played by Xochitl Gomez.<\/p>\n

    Meanwhile, Chiwetel Ejiofor only appeared in the latest film as an alternate universe iteration of Karl Mordo, with the original MCU character still out there \u2013 and presumably killing or depowering sorcerers after where we left him in the first film.<\/p>\n

    We can likely expect a return for Karl Mordo in a third Doctor Strange film.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\n

    We can\u2019t imagine the character will stay away for too long.<\/p>\n

    There is the potential for a return from Rachel McAdams<\/strong> as Dr Christine Palmer but it felt as though Strange was letting go of his former girlfriend in the second film \u2013 unless her multiversal doppelg\u00e4nger returns.<\/p>\n

    Elsewhere, Michael Stuhlbarg<\/strong> could reprise his role as Dr Nicodemus West but considering his minor appearance in the second film, we would be surprised if he was back for a third.<\/p>\n

    Additionally, the fate of Scarlet Witch\/Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen<\/strong>) was left ambiguous at the end of the Multiverse of Madness, but with an all-new threat for Strange to face, we doubt we would see the character again here.<\/p>\n

    Finally, the major addition in a third Doctor Strange film would be Oscar winner Charlize Theron<\/strong> as Clea.<\/p>\n

    After appearing in the mid-credits scene for Multiverse of Madness, Clea wants Strange\u2019s help to face a new threat.<\/p>\n

    In Marvel Comics, the character Clea is a sorceress from the Dark Dimension who goes on to become an ally, lover and eventual wife of Doctor Strange. She also later succeeds Strange as the Sorcerer Supreme.<\/p>\n

    So, we imagine Charlize\u2019s Clea could have a big future in the MCU!<\/p>\n

    Who could direct Doctor Strange 3?<\/strong><\/h2>
