Doctor Strange: 7 Tony Stark Cameos That Would Rule

2. Recruitment Mission

This one, as it stands, seems the most obvious way of having Tony Stark appear (probably in the mid or post credits scene) and interact with Doctor Strange.

Stark is still the public face of the Avengers, and with the members of Team Cap needing to head underground after the events of Civil War, he's going to be needing a few new recruits. Since Doctor Strange is the first movie after that one, and based (partially) in New York, it makes sense that he'd be the first name on his list.

It may be that the events of this movie have a wider impact on the real world, or Stark just hears of it through various connections he has, but either way it'd result in him going to investigate and meet this mysterious Stephen Strange, and then pitch to him the possibility of joining the Avengers. It's easy to imagine Strange going back to his apartment, or at the hospital, and finding Stark waiting for him, ready with a quip, and then a job offer.
