While promoting his fresh FOX TV showStarat the Television Critics Association , Benjamin Bratt talk toIGNabout his role as Pangborn . The veteran actor , who is perhaps best know for his role as Detective Rey Curtis onLaw & Orderfor four seasons , prognosticate joiningDoctor Strangean " easy decision . " He admits that though there has been no real conversation about another role in a MCU film , he ’s " optimistic " about meet Pangborn again .
It was Pangborn who first introduced Strange to the idea of magic . He also led Strange to the discovery of Kamar - Taj and The Ancient One . unusual later came to the apprehension that Pangborn was able-bodied to channel wizard vigor into his dead body for walk .
Though Pangborn ’s arc seemed stark , the character refund in the post - credits picture when he was approached by a disillusioned Mordo . After Mordo took aside his magic , it come out that he was going to kill him , however , this never take place , at least not on - screen . The scenery , which Bratt says was purposefully"ambiguous " , ended with Mordo remarking that the problem with the world is that there are " too many wizard . "
Would a return for Bratt as Pangborn seem possible or even necessary ? If Mordo is the main scoundrel of the sequel , it would make sense if Pangborn to act as some kind of part in Mordo ’s programme , especially if Mordo had some other cause for finding him and convey his magic . As for whether it could happen , the case would in all probability match only inDoctor Strange 2.Though a sequel has n’t been officially announced , Doctor Strangewas such acritical and commercial successthat following it up with a subsequence seems only coherent .
