Doctor Strange: 9 Big Implications For Phase 3 And Beyond

1. Another Infinity Stone Has Been Found

Ever since the first images were revealed of the glowing green Eye of Agamotto, it was speculated that it'd be an Infinity Stone.

After all, the MCU needed to introduce two more, and with Strange set to introduce magic and time travel, it seemed a perfect fit for bringing the Time Stone into the universe.

Although it's largely passed over in the movie - Strange is slightly confused as to what one is - the significance is huge. Thanos needs all of the Stones in order to complete the Infinity Guantlet, and now we know where another one is. How long before the Mad Titan also finds out?

It also begs the question of what will happen to the Eye. It's an intrinsic part of Strange's character, but getting the Stone will see Thanos destroy it. Will there be a way to correct that (reclaiming the Stone?), or could we see Strange go forwards without it?

What other implications do you think Doctor Strange had for the MCU? Let us know down in the comments.
