Although Doctor Strange sequel's title is self-explanatory, in the sense that fans already know about the multiverse from Cumberbatch's first film in 2016, but the fact that the maker called it "scary" has boosted fans' anticipation to another level. Marvel Studios has never tackled a project that was part horror, although it has introduced themes of coming-of-age, romance and humour in Spider-Man, Captain America and Thor: Ragnarok respectively.
Adding to Derrickson's statement, Cumberbatch told the attendees that the sequel would "maintain the integrity of humour with the twist of horror that will have people gripped." He further added that Doctor Strange will "be facing unexpected things, he'll be in the position of the audience with not knowing what's coming at him." He concluded saying, "We're going back to trying to destroy him, I think."
