Captain America: Civil War - 10 Ways It Must Set Up Phase Three
8. Introduce Magic
Much as the cosmic side of things has recently taken off, the mystical realm of the MCU is about to be thrust into the spotlight as well. Though the focus is on Civil War right now, it will soon shift to the magical blockbuster Doctor Strange. While that movie is certainly capable of introducing the magical dimension all on its own, a brief hint at it from Civil War could do a great deal of good to establishing credibility and start to build Doctor Strange's World. It would signify that the other characters are aware of this key force in their universe and it would tip off audiences so that theyre ready for this more out-there take on a superhero. Beyond actually introducing Dr. Strange in Civil War, Scarlet Witch could be a great conduit for this type of discussion. Though shes not outright drawing her powers from spells, a more thorough investigation into her type of abilities could easily lead to hints at the presence of sorcerers like Stephen Strange or Karl Mordo. Civil War must tend to its own story first, but it would take very little time to do some very crucial world building.
