10 Greatest MCU End Credits Scenes

10. Doctor Strange

On its own, Dr. Strange has held up as a pretty consistent superhero film all to itself. Throughout its runtime, there are no real overt tie-ins to the rest of the MCU outside of the arrival of the Infinity Stones revealed through the Time Stone. Just when you thought the journey of the MCU's first magician was insular, the finale left us clamoring for what would eventually pan out later down the line.

While everything seemed to be working fine up until the final shot, things turn a corner when we see Strange talking with Thor over tea regarding the status of his brother Loki. As they start to discuss the whereabouts of the God of Mischief and their search for Odin, the wheels started turning in everyone's head that we would see a true collaboration between Strange and Thor on the big screen.

The screenwriters apparently saw the potential in this scene too, seeing how they basically mimicked it beat for beat at the start of Thor Ragnarok... only this space journey was not to be.

In a cruel twist of fate, Strange's involvement in Ragnarok was nothing more than just a simple cameo, done more to integrate him into the MCU than really flesh out his character.
