21 Incredibly Obscure Marvel Movie Easter Eggs

11. Tina Minoru - Doctor Strange

Ahead of Doctor Strange's epic Hong Kong Sanctum battle, a random female character is shown preparing for the fight ahead, but the movie's end credits in fact reveal that the actress in question, Linda Louise Duan, was playing comic book character Tina Minoru.

This is especially interesting as Tina is the mother of Nico Minoru, who stars in the current MCU TV series Runaways, providing another nifty bridge between the movie and TV branches of the MCU.

However, because Tina herself is played by a different actress on the show and is for all intents and purposes a totally different version of the character, there's unlikely to ever be a clear nod to Tina's time spent at the Sanctum. Weird, but cool.
