Another ‘Doctor Strange’ Character Confirmed To Return For ‘Infinity War
We’re still a couple weeks out from seeingDoctor Strangein the United States, but next week brings the film to many international markets, and that means some spoilers will start to spill onto the web, including details on both of the credits scenes (which have been screened for press already).
We’ll be keeping any spoiler talk in check here at /Film so that you don’t haveDoctor Strangeruined for you, and that includes knowledge of a certain character who survives the first movie and will be part ofThe Avengers: Infinity War. No we’re not talking about Doctor Strange himself, whohas already been confirmedto appear along with the presumed assembly of every surviving character in the Marvel cinematic universe, but a supporting character.
So who is theDoctor Strangecharacter appearing inThe Avengers Infinity War? Find out below, but beware of slightspoilers.
ComicBook.comparticipated in some of the press junket interviews for the film this past week, and they learned in an interview withBenedict Wongthat his character, who also happens to be named Wong, will be returning forThe Avengers: Infinity War. When asked if he would like to see himself in future Marvel movies, he immediately confirmed at least one future appearance by saying, “I’m thrilled I’m going to be in Infinity War. I’m looking forward to, I’ll tell you that one first.”
Of course, Wong couldn’t offer up any details about how much he’ll be involved, but with Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) already confirmed to make an appearance, it only makes sense that Wong would be around to help out as his trusty aid. More than likely he’ll have a role akin to a character like Dr. Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgard), who was a key supporting part in The Avengers after appearing in the Thor franchise, but didn’t have tons of screentime.
It remains to be seen if any other characters fromDoctor Strangewill make their way intoThe Avengers: Infinity War. WillMads Mikkelsensurvive as the villain Kaecilius to return in a future movie? WillChiwetel Ejioforas Mordo survive to fight another day alongside Doctor Strange? CouldTilda Swintonend up getting involved in the big battle with Thanos? We’ll just have to wait and see.
