Stephen Strange will be battling one of his biggest enemies Nightmare in Doctor Strange 2, according to the first film’s writer Robert C Cargill.

Speaking at a session, the writer Robert C Cargill and director Scott Derrickson spoke aboutthe ways theyplan to take the plotforward in thesecond solo movie of the fictional character.

The director also confirmed thatthe ruler of the DreamDimension, Nightmare, will bemovie's villain.

According to Cargill, he and Derrickson are committed to bringing the character into the fold if they get to make the sequel while talking to Movie Web.

In the comics, Nightmare is an entity of the Dream Dimension who feeds off of latent psychic energy. At the end of the first film, we saw that Baron Mordo will take on a villainous turn, and Cargill spoke about those two characters getting involved with each other.

"Marvel movies work in threes. They also work outside of their threes. Some of the better Marvel films have more than one villain in them," Cargill said.

"Scott and I have not laid the groundwork for it but what I can say is that I have a feeling that whatever Nightmare is involved with, Baron Mordo, being somebody who considers himself the defender of natural law will have something to do with it."

However, Cargill, who has frequently collaborated with director Scott Derrickson, has made it clear that currently there aren’t any plans for a sequel to the 2016 movie.

Fortunately for fans of Marvel Cinematic Universe, Benedict Cumberbatch will be reprising his role as Stephen Strange in Avengers: Infinity War,which premieres in theatres on April 27 this year.
