The mid-credit scene in the “Doctor Strange” was actually directed by the filmmaker from another Marvel movie — “Thor: Ragnarok’s” Taika Waititi.

In an interview withย Den of Geek, “Doctor Strange” director Scott Derrickson was asked how the mid-credit scene came about, and he confirmed that it was Waititi who directed it.

“Taika [Waititi] shot that – I can’t say if it’s from ‘Thor 3’ or not, but we had our set up and were going to strike it after I finished shooting and it’s a very expensive set with the chamber of relics and the window and everything,” Derrickson said.
