12 Potential Post-Credits Scenes For Avengers: Age Of Ultron

4. Doctor Strange Introduction

Unlike Ant-Man (which has a trailer) and Civil War (which shares a good chunk of Age Of Ultron's cast), there's nothing to go on with Dr. Strange other than that throwaway line in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Introducing totally new characters and concepts is exactly what the post-credit scenes are for, so it makes sense for Marvel to take this opportunity to build a bit of excitement for a movie people have hardly mentioned since Benedict Cumberbatch was cast. Like the introduction of Nick Fury or Thanos, a Strange reveal doesn't need to try that hard to get people talking; show a bit of the new mystical powers and Cumberbatch in costume and you've got an unforgettable moment that'll get the internet talking. Production on Doctor Strange won't begin until after Avengers 2 hits cinemas, but that probably means the character designs are finalised and Benedict Cumberbatch is getting into character (expect Sherlock meets Gandalf The White), so on a simple practical level this is believable. Likelihood: 8/10
