Every Doctor Strange Easter Egg And Reference In The MCU (So Far)

7. The Orb Of Agamatto In Odin's Vault - Thor

Odin's Vault in Thor was a veritable treasure trove for fans of the fantastical side of the Marvel Universe; along with the much screen-shotted Infinity Gauntlet, there's several other obscure Asgardian or otherwise mystical MacGuffins from the Silver Age of comics.

The most interesting (at least now the Infinity Gauntlet has been retconned to be a replica that exists alongside the real one Thanos put on at the end of Avengers: Age Of Ultron) is the Orb of Agamatto. An essential part of Doctor Strange's iconography - it's the source of his powers - this was the first in-movie allusion to the Sorcerer Supreme.

Well, kinda. Unfortunately for easter egg hunters, this too appears to have been retconned to avoid a direct Asgardian link in the Doctor Strange film; the object is now inexplicably referred to by Marvel as the Tuning Fork, a little used relic used to summon The Unknown, despite looking nothing like it. So expect a totally different Orb in the movie itself.
