Both Brother Voodoo and Clea are characters which have been central to the mythos of Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), so it does make sense that they will debut in the sequel.

The ground work for Drumm’s introduction had already been laid as his brother Daniel (Mark Anthony Brighton) was the keeper of the New York Sanctum but he was murdered by Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen in Doctor Strange).

But along with these two characters, the Twitter leak also mentions that Tilda Swinton is in talks as well to reprise her role as the Ancient One in what would be her their MCU appearance after Doctor Strange and Avengers: Endgame. It also says the look and feel of the film will be akin to a “1980s boogaloo”
