According toDoctor StrangedirectorScott Derrickson,the movie was originally supposed to feature an entirely different villainthan the one we ended up with. During an interview with Empire magazine, Derrickson said one of his initial ideas was to incorporate Nightmare, ruler of the Dream Dimension, instead of Dormammu. He said that the trouble with introducing Nightmare was to also introduce the Dream Dimension. By adding that to their already challenging film would be too much and the films villain Dormammu made much more sense.
