12 Most Surprising Revelations In 2016's Comic Book Movies
4. Wong Likes Beyonce - Doctor Strange
The Revelation: Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) meets cosmic librarian Wong (Benedict Wong), and notes that his single-name is much like those of Adele, Drake, Eminem, Beyonce and many others.
Later on, Wong is listening to his iPod and Beyonce's hit "Single Ladies" can be heard faintly playing from the earbuds. He's now a fan, it seems.
Why It Was Surprising: Wong was basically a walking Asian stereotype in the Doctor Strange comics, so it was hugely refreshing to see him transformed from a man-servant into a character with his own agency and distinct personality who actually felt like a real human being.
Even so, could anyone have expected to see him listening to Beyonce? Apparently the whole set-up was improvised by Cumberbatch, and eventually resulted in one of the movie's best (and most surprising) bouts of comic relief.
