10 Clues For The Future Of The Marvel Cinematic Universe

6. Doctor Strange Is Coming

Doctor Strange is now confirmed as coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His first titular film is in place for a late-2016 release, with Benedict Cumberbatch cast in the role of the Sorcerer Supreme. This was as good as confirmed, prior to the movie itself being announced, in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, when Jasper Sitwell blurted out a load of information about Zola's Algorithm to Captain America whilst under interrogation. Sitwell listed a number of people that HYDRA were targeting for elimination thanks to the algorithm highlighting them as threats - and one of them was Stephen Strange. Strange was mentioned amongst a list of other heroic characters, including Tony Stark, Bruce Banner and Steve Rogers himself. It wasn't exactly subtle - given the fact that his full name was stated - but if you weren't listening carefully you might have missed it.
