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.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
