Doctor Strange: 31 Easter Eggs & References You Must See

31. Avengers Tower

Though Doctor Strange is firmly a stand-alone (and it works perfectly as one), it does have links to the rest of the MCU (if it didn't, we wouldn't be here now would we?) and one comes right at the start.

As the camera pans over Strange's New York, the iconic image of the Avengers tower can be seen towering over the rest of the city. Strictly speaking, it's a plot hole, as it should be Stark Tower at this point in time, but we'll let them get away with it. Also, there's time travelling here, so whatever.

This is one of only a couple of Avengers nods - you won't find any mention of the Accords or the Incident, because they haven't actually happened yet in Strange's world. The start of the film happens around the time of Iron Man 2.
