MUN MY FRIEND JUST SENT ME AN ARTICLE SAYING THAT MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS MIGHT BE THE LAST MOVIE WITH DOCTOR STRANGE IN IT AND PLEASE HELP

They said the same thing about Infinity War...about Endgame...such as 'Strange will sacrifice himself' or 'Strange will die'...

They just want attention and clickbaiting....I personally don't think they'll kill Strange, specially now they have the magic universe set and so much they have been working on. Dr. Strange 2 should be something like Avengers or Civil War was, something to set new characters to start a new saga. Phase 4 is a new starting point.

I could be wrong, I would be very VERY surprised if Strange died or something.

Anyway, media always finds a way to make anything that no one would be worrying about turn into a SCANDAL while important things don't get the spotlight the way they should, just to get views and clicks, honestly, I don't take seriously anymore:

Articles about upcoming movies (happened with Civil War, Infinity War...)

Polemic citiques that misinterpret out of context lines or interviews (Thor Raganarok, Captain Marvel...)

Reviews from people who didn't even see the movie yet (Joker, Black Panther...)

Viral "BIG NEWS" that are just a theory but people make such a scandal everyone believes it will be true only to get turned down later such as "Doctor Strange dies in Infinity War permanently", "Iron man will be an AI", "Everyone is in the Soul Stone", "Loki didn't die, he's in disguise", "There's no time travel in Endgame"....

Reasons why it would be silly to kill Doctor Strange (definitely)

Doctor Strange 01 made more money than Iron Man 2, from a franchise which took a LOT of effort, hate and time to be recognized as a "valid, important, relevant" movie. Doctor Strange has the field already "favorable", since prejudice against magic and hero movies decreased a lot.

Benedict always was the first choice for the role, they delayed the movie over 6 months so he could play the role, why get rid of him now?

The magic universe is set. The cosmic universe is set. Why abandon the previous plans now?

Strange is the main character from the mystic stuff in the MCU, killing him would pretty much lower the hype and destroy all the set up being prepared since 2016.

The producers, directors and actors already stated more than once in interviews they have many plans for Doctor Strange.

We know waaaay more about Strange and his development than most characters from the MCU and he only had ONE movie so far, meaning the main branch of the movies has been focusing on him.

He was put together with Tony (just like Peter was) in Infinity War so they would get popular and highlighted for the new upcoming movies (and they did it: Ironstrange, Iron family...)

Strange participated 2 Avengers movies having just 1 solo movie, and he was very relevant to both, even if he got just a cameo in Endgame, he was the key for victory, as it had already been said in interviews with Kevin Feige.

Benedict isn't that expensive for Disney

Benedict stated he likes the role so far, he doesn't seem to have intentions of leaving it.

His salary was renegotiated and it increased last year, however, IW and Endgame were already being filmed so WHY would they increase his income if he would die in the next movie?

The Sanctums still don't even have enough masters, Strange is the newest one and they will kill him?? Okay I doubt.

In interviews it was said (Derrickson?) Nightmare was planned for the first movie, but now he will be in the second movie (that probably will explore Stephen's past), so if the second movie still will be kind of an "origin" story (about his childhood etc.) it would be still introducing the character in some way....so....even less sense in killing him off.

Strange's storyline still needs to solve: him becoming the Sorcerer Supreme, Mordo, Nightmare, Dormammu, relationship with Christine, the introduction of new characters, Wanda and Loki. They will do all that in only one movie? I DOUBT.

Strange has a strong comic storyline linked with Black Panther, Namor, Spiderman, Galactus, Mephisto, Nightmare, Dormammu and especially VICTOR VON DOOM, and these are mostly upcoming characters or in development ones. Don't forget Illuminati, House of M, Secret Wars and Battleworld, all strongly possible upcoming adaptations Strange has a VERY important role in.

Stephen has been getting more and more spotlight in recent game updates (since 2016, more and more).

Strange is the founder of the Iluminatti with Tony, who is gone, so now...I guess he will found it? LIKE...HE HAS TO....?

Strange is Wiccan's mentor and he kind of guides the Young Avengers and also has a leadership role in New Avengers and later on in Defenders, so....he HAS to be alive to do all that.

Canonically, Strange still is alive in the comics, meaning there is not a "definitive death moment" anywhere for him in novels or comics for the movies to be based on.

All his deaths in the comics were part of his character development (Mephisto, Gorath, Dormammu...) so even if he dies....he's getting back...? Until now, it was like that.

All the characters who died had a congruent time line for their death (Tony already went through Civil War, Infinity Saga, had a child, married and his own trilogy, so did Steve and Black Widow still will have a movie to complete her journey since she didn't get her proper development before). Gamora and Loki still are being developed in upcoming movies apparently...?

Stephen didn't even face 2 different villains of his own saga (Kaecilius was a comic book side character and mostly antagonist). We still have to see Nightmare, Gorath, Mephisto, Dracula, Von Doom and now following the newest comics, Loki and Galactus. Not to mention Death, Eternity, the Vishanti and the Living Tribunal, no sight of them yet.

Robert, Chris Evans, Hemsworth, Scarlet, they all have been in the MCU from 8 to 11 years, Benedict has been around for barely 3 years.

Normally 6 or 8 movie contracts are set for main roles, Stephen was in 4 movies so far, and Endgame and Ragnarok were cameos, so I guess they don't count as proper participation? That would make 2 relevant roles only. Doctor Strange 2 would be the 3rd relevant role, and Hemsworth is getting a Thor 4, and the first Thor movies weren't that well received by fans and critics, and it's the 8th movie Thor will be in? PLUS Guardians of the Galaxy??? WHY NOT DO THAT WITH BENEDICT SINCE HIS MOVIE'S BOX OFFICE WAS BETTER?

Benedict's contract doesn't seem very strict, since he's working in many other projects and productions since Doctor Strange 01 (theaters, Sherlock, Patrick Melrose, this new movie Iron something, Brexit, a lot of voice acting, audiobooks and more), meaning Benedict doesn't have to end his contract to work on the stuff he wants to.

Could Marvel kill Strange off and never use him again? Yes, but I think it's VEEEEEEEERY UNLIKELY. They were RUSHING to add him in the MCU so the story could unfold, and the Wanda and the Loki series are linked to his movie, and to his saga probably. Strange can't fight all alone or just with Wong, he sure needs a team, just like Tony, Steve and Gamora did. Strange is one of the new leads of the MCU, along with Carol and T'challa.
