As a dedicated Marvel fan, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation when it comes to Benedict Wong’s potential role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. Ever since his debut as Wong in Doctor Strange back in 2016, he has been a constant presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), much like a trusty old sidekick who’s always there when you need him.
In the upcoming film titled “Avengers: Doomsday,” there’s a possibility that the beloved sorcerer from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Benedict Wong’s character from Doctor Strange, could make an appearance. The Avengers are gearing up to face their most formidable foe since Thanos. Interestingly, Robert Downey Jr.’s character has been cast as Doctor Doom, stepping in for Jonathan Majors’ Kang who was initially slated as the main antagonist. Recently, Wong has spoken about his potential part in “Doomsday” as the Sorcerer Supreme.
During an interview with Comicbook.com regarding his part in the movie “Bad Genius”, Benedict Wong was inquired about his involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), focusing on potential roles in “Avengers: Doomsday” and confronting Doctor Doom. The question also touches upon “Secret Wars”, but “Doomsday” serves as a good beginning point. Wong keeps mum about his awareness of the upcoming Avengers sequels, yet he doesn’t shy away from expressing his enthusiasm about being part of them.
Sure thing! “Absolutely! I’m all set. With Wong now being Sorcerer Supreme, the Marvel Universe will decide our next steps. I’m excited to see where this takes us.
If Benedict Wong indeed comes back in the Avengers series, it’s reasonable to anticipate that he might also feature in Doctor Strange 3. The upcoming film featuring Benedict Cumberbatch is actively trying to bring Sam Raimi back as director. Interestingly, Benedict Wong has been a constant presence amidst the fluctuating phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So, the prospect of seeing more of the Sorcerer Supreme is quite exciting.
Wong is an MCU Constant, But Deserves Better
To date, it appears that Wong’s roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) have primarily advanced the storylines of other prominent superheroes. He has made appearances in significant standalone film series such as “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” (2021), “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (2021), and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” (2022). Interestingly, Wong’s character development has been more evident in the series “She-Hulk,” where he showcased his comedic side rather than his usual serious demeanor as a sorcerer. This is where the nickname “Wongers” originated, although it’s uncertain whether this term will be used in future films. The Sorcerer Supreme, who came close to death in the original ending of “Multiverse of Madness,” also featured in both the Avengers films directed by the Russo brothers.
Given that the Russos are directing the upcoming two Avengers films, it’s highly likely that Wong will reappear, considering he currently holds the position once held by Doctor Strange. Unless he loses the title of Sorcerer Supreme before Doomsday or Secret Wars, Wong is expected to play a crucial role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The Multiverse saga relies heavily on the abilities of the MCU’s magic users, and Wong is at the vanguard of this endeavor. It remains uncertain if his role will expand substantially, but it seems overdue for an increase in significance.
