Doctor Strange to Reportedly Take a Backseat as Wong’s Role Increases in the Upcoming MCU Projects and Fans Don’t Like It

Following a disappointing few projects so far for the MCU, It’s time to turn this around and slowly start building toward ‘Avengers 5’ and ‘Avengers: Secret Wars.’ One massive project that was supposed to be a direct prelude to these multiversal events was ‘Doctor Strange 3.’

Following Cumberbatch’s latest statements fans aren’t quite sure that the movie will come to fruition before the next two ‘Avengers’ movies.

Now the recent claims by Alex Perez during his Discord AMA have a few disappointing updates for fans of Doctor Strange. Per his claims to set up his and Clea’s story properly it’s going to take a lot more than a few appearances in other projects:

What I’ve heard about Stephen Strange’s story leading into Secret Wars requires a minimum of a third Doctor Strange movie for it to be explored properly, or at the very least three Avengers films. Anything less, and I’m afraid that both Stephen and Clea’s characters might fall short of fans’ expectations.

There’s also a rumor that Wong will be assembling the next Avengers team in the upcoming ‘Captain America: Brave New World.’ Considering how Wong has been popping up in MCU projects as of late, this does not sound so far-fetched.

Fans received these rumors with lukewarm sentiment, no matter how much well-liked Wong is, diminishing Strange’s role in the MCU is not the way to approach these things.
