How Many Post-Credit Scenes Are There in Doctor Strange?
Director Scott Derrickson has confirmed that there are two post-credits scenes in Doctor Strange. The first one appears halfway through the credits, while the second one appears at the very end.
post-credits scene is a scene that appears after the credits have rolled. They are often used to set up future movies or to show additional scenes that were not included in the main movie.
The first post-credits scene in Doctor Strange shows Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) visiting an elderly man who is using magic to stay alive. Mordo steals the man’s magic, leaving him to die, and says that he is going to start “the purge” by taking out all of the other wizards who are abusing their power.
The second post-credits scene is a mid-credits scene, which means it appears halfway through the credits instead of at the very end. In this scene, we see Thor (Chris Hemsworth) meeting with Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to ask for his help in finding his missing brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston).
What Do They Mean for the Future of the MCU?
Doctor Strange has two post-credit scenes, both of which are brief and likely to leave audiences scratching their heads. The first scene shows Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) stealing a man’s energy in order to presumably kill him. The second scene shows Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) meeting with Thor (Chris Hemsworth) in what appears to be a post-credits scene for Thor: Ragnarok, which is set for release in November 2017.
While the meaning of these scenes is not immediately clear, they do offer some clues about the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). In the case of Baron Mordo, it seems likely that he will play a role in the next Doctor Strange sequel. As for the Thor scene, it could simply be meant to tease Thor: Ragnarok or it could be setting up something bigger, such as Thanos’ invasion of Earth in Avengers: Infinity War. Only time will tell for sure, but these post-credit scenes are definitely worth keeping an eye on.
What’s Next for Doctor Strange?
After the events of Avengers: Infinity War, it’s anyone’s guess what will happen to Doctor Strange. One possibility is that he will use the Time Stone to go back in time and change events, preventing Thanos from ever acquiring the Infinity Stones. Alternatively, he could use the Time Stone to travel forward in time and warn the Avengers of Thanos’ impending arrival.
Another possibility is that Doctor Strange could team up with other sorcerers to take on Thanos directly. This would be a risky gambit, as Thanos is more than powerful enough to destroy them all, but it’s possible that Doctor Strange has seen a future in which they succeed.
Of course, there’s also the possibility that Doctor Strange simply dies during the battle with Thanos. This would be a tragic end for the character, but it would also provide a motivation for Tony Stark/Iron Man to eventually defeat Thanos and seek revenge for his friend’s death.
Whatever happens to Doctor Strange in Avengers: Infinity War, it’s sure to be an exciting ride.
How the Post-Credit Scenes Set Up Future Movies
Doctor Strange has two post-credit scenes, both of which tie into future movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The first post-credit scene shows Thor (Chris Hemsworth) meeting with Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to ask for his help in finding Odin (Anthony Hopkins). This scene is a direct setup for the upcoming Thor: Ragnarok, which is set to hit theaters in November 2017.
The second post-credit scene shows Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) breaking bad and stealing ancient relics so that he can kill all sorcerers. This scene sets up Mordo as a villain for future Doctor Strange sequels.
