Doctor Strange: 7 MCU Connections You Might Have Missed

5. Avengers Tower

The Avengers tower can be seen a couple of times throughout the course of Doctor Strange - once right after the opening sequence, and again later on during the reality-bending city battle.

Formerly referred to as 'Stark Tower', The Avengers adopted the facility as their base of operations before shifting focus to the brand-new Avengers HQ on the outskirts of New York in Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

If nothing else, this cements Strange's position in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by providing a tangible connection that shows he exists alongside Iron Man, Captain America and the rest of the team.

It's an easy nod to miss given the brevity of the shots in which it appears, but it's definitely there, and it's cool to see such a prominent Avengers reference in a movie that doesn't feature The Avengers one bit.
