Insider Unveils Doctor Strange’s Future in the MCU: Will the Sorcerer Survive?

‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness‘ served as a solo sequel to the original ‘Doctor Strange’ film that first introduced the sorcerer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Directed by Sam Raimi, the movie depicted Doctor Strange in a confrontation with Wanda Maximoff, also known as the Scarlet Witch, as her transition into a villain was fully realized.

While the film received a mixed reception and is often not ranked among the MCU’s best, largely due to criticism of its storyline, it still holds an important place within the franchise.

Despite the film’s divisive response, Doctor Strange remains a pivotal character in the MCU, with his significance expected to expand further, particularly within the context of the Multiverse Saga and the anticipated arrival of Doctor Doom.

However, as is typical with Marvel, details about the character’s future remain tightly under wraps. To shed light on what might be coming, we turn to well-known MCU insider Alex Perez, who has shared some intriguing rumors about Doctor Strange’s potential role in future projects and the possible involvement of Wong in these upcoming storylines.

The source in question is Alex Perez, who frequently shares his insights and rumors on the Cosmic Circus. Here’s what he recently revealed about Doctor Strange’s future:

Alex: I’m hearing very exciting things regarding Doctor Strange’s story, leading into Secret Wars. I wrote an article a while back about Doctor Strange vs. Kang In The Multiverse Saga where I talked about Stephen Strange’s role and how essentially he’s been portrayed in most of his alternate iterations as the biggest threat to the Multiverse, given how Strange has been the one who’s been ultimately causing incursions throughout various universes.

That storyline is still being explored here, but now, instead of having Kang, you have RDJ’s Doctor Doom opposite Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange. Just think about the weight of this moment: Doctor Stephen Strange, a character we have seen be a force for good, time and time again, being forced to face the reality that he is being dubbed the greatest threat in the Multiverse, with the evidence to prove it because nearly every other version of himself has allowed their ego to make bad decisions costing their reality.

Opposite him, you have Doctor Doom, one of Marvel’s most iconic villains, an ambitious, egotistical antagonist who is trying to find the secrets of the Multiverse and the reason behind its decay to prevent the death of the Multiverse from happening.

Plus, we have the potential of RDJ and Benedict sharing a scene together, since the last time they were together, Strange told Tony Stark the only way to save his universe was to sacrifice himself. How do you think Strange would react to seeing the face of his former friend again?

Even though it’s not even a variant of Tony Stark, he just has his face. Would he feel guilt? Would there be remorse? Could Strange be easily manipulated by Doom into doing his bidding? After all, they are both instrumental in the Time Runs Out and Secret Wars storylines in the comics.

He was also asked about the possibility of the character’s death, and here’s what he had to say on the matter:

@Hifive326: When is Doctor Strange dying and being fully replaced by Wong?/s

Alex: He still hasn’t become Sorcerer Supreme in his universe, so I don’t think he will die until that happens.

It appears that Doctor Strange fans have reason to celebrate — Marvel seems to have significant plans for him, positioning him as a central figure in the entire Multiverse Saga!
