[Warning: Contains minor SPOILERS for Doctor Strange.]

As international box office numbers are playing out this scenario as well. If all goes well with Strange’s entry, he’ll bring with him a new bag of trick to the Avengers, as well as a whole host of new adversaries.

Fans are already aware of Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Sorcerer Surpreme’s first outing.

The latest the multiverse, including a few new clips of some of the unusual realms traversed in the film. The most curious moment for devotees of the mystical doctor arrives 41 seconds into the clip, where two massive eyes peer from the void at viewers. They arrive in concert with this ominous line of dialogue:

"There are dangers yes but wonders too, and power, so much power that in the wrong hands, anything could happen."

Now certainly, there are plenty shots of main baddie Kaecilius to consider, but those fiery purple eyes sure look like they belong to Dormammu, the ruler of the Dark Dimension. At the end of the trailer, there’s also a distinctive moment where Strange stares into a massive purple negative space. In all likelihood, the shimmery void is one of the dreaded lord’s Sauron-like peepers.

If this is our first look at Dormammu, it appears he’ll be playing a continuing role in the saga – which would make sense since he's been antagonizing Doctor Strange since 1964. Director Scott Derrickson and Marvel have managed to keep the Nightmare.

Until the film’s been fully released, it’s difficult to say how much of a role, beyond a creepy cameo or property.
