Now that the likes of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers have passed on and retired, the MCU needs a new hero to step up and take the lead. That hero is Doctor Strange, with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feigerecently describing The Master of the Mystic Arts as the “anchor” of the franchise.
“Benedict has turned this character into an icon, appearing in a historic three of the top six films of all time,” Feige said. “It’s been quite a journey. I remember our very first meeting was set up as a general, and we wanted to pitch him this great character, and before we could, he said ‘So tell me about Doctor Strange,’ because you knew. Because somewhere you knew what this could be and you’ve always seen the tremendous potential in this character. Because of that, you’ve become the anchor of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the only actor capable of guiding us through the madness of the Multiverse.”
