As if there was any doubt that Benedict Cumberbatch would be returning to his role as Doctor Strange, it was confirmed on Saturday, with Cumberbatch appearing on stage along with director, Scott Derrickson. It was also announced that Elizabeth Olsen would be reprising her MCU role of Scarlett Witch for the sequel (though it will be her first time in a Doctor Strange movie), with the events from the series WandaVision (also announced at Comic-Con) tying directly into this film. The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that Rachel McAdams is as good as locked in for a return as his love interest, Dr. Christine Palmer. Benedict Wong will also return as Strange's sidekick, Wong!
