The mid-credits scene picks up after Stephen Strange is revealed to have acquired the third eye following his tryst with the Darkhold. And when he's finally walking off on Bleecker street, a mysterious woman comes out of a portal and seeks his help to fix the incursions he's caused after using the Darkhold, and the sorcerer vanishes with her in the portal. "Can I help you?" he replies, with a confused look on his face when he sees the woman. "You caused an incursion and we're gonna fix it," she says, as she slices a hole through Earth-616's reality, which opens up a space-like dimension. "Unless you're afraid?"
