MCU: 12 Things We Learned From 4Chan's Latest Marvel Movies "Leak"

Guess who's going to die in Infinity War...

PHASE 4 LEAK
Marvel

You can almost set your watch by these 4Chan leaks now. Just as you're settled in, waiting for Marvel or DC to release their latest round of information related to their upcoming slate of movies some mysterious, cloaked rascal releases a raft of "leaks" beating them to the punch.

Quite who these leakers are supposed to be is anyone's guess, but they inevitably garner a lot of attention when they spin their rumours. Some will inevitably turn their noses up immediately and cry foul, but there tends to be a lot in these leaks that sounds completely plausible.

Sure, there's always an element of them sounding like fan fiction, but it's intriguing as a fan to engage with and rate the rumours. Particularly as some of them are incredibly exciting and paint the picture of a progressive Phase 4 to follow the already announced movies concentrating on the MCU's newest elements.

Here's what the latest mystery leaker says is about to happen in the MCU...

12. The Doctor Strange Sequel Plans

PHASE 4 LEAK
Marvel Comics

The Rumour

Doctor Strange will set up plot threads for future sequels: for instance, Mads Mikkelsen's Kaecilius turns out to be a vessel for icnic villain Dormammu and Chiwetel Ejiofor's character, Baron Mordo, betrays Strange in the end to set up his heel turn. He doesn't actually side with Dormammu though.

Response

Most of that wouldn't be at all surprising. With Doctor Strange in this universe, Dormammu is likely to follow, even if it is a pretty big step forward into the cosmic realm for Marvel movies. But that's been foreshadowed heavily since the good Doctor was first teased.

And of course we already know Mordo turns out to be a villain: if he didn't it would be a massive betrayal of the comic book source. So it's no big shock to have that suggested at this stage: he and Strange have a long running rivalry (he's the ousted teacher's pet jealous of the new pretender, it's a tale as old as time) and it makes sense it will come to fruition in the movie.
