Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige is opening up about why Doctor Strange (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) didn’t appear in WandaVision.
The Disney+ series had ample opportunity to introduce the Sorcerer Supreme: Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) is set to appear in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness — scheduled for release on March 25, 2022 — and he was referenced by name in the finale.
Plus, head writer Jac Schaeffer noted some of the ideas pitched about how to incorporate Cumberbatch into the show, including having Doctor Strange appear in one of the show’s Easter egg-filled ads and making it so that those commercials were actually messages from the Sorcerer Supreme to Wanda
