Every MCU Movie Ranked By Death Count

The death count of Doctor Strange can change quite drastically depending on whether you count the deaths that were ultimately undone by the titular character and the time loops he created. Wong was shown to have been impaled and crushed under rubble during the attack on the Hong Kong Sanctum, but this technically never happened.

The same can be said about all the times Dormammu killed Doctor Strange. The master of the mystic arts was destroyed ten times by the ruler of the Dark Dimension, which is more deaths than in the rest of the movie combined.

The Kamar Taj librarian and three of Kaecilius' followers lost their lives in the opening sequence, and the Masters of both the London and New York Sanctums, Sol Rama and Daniel Drumm were also killed by the Zealots. Stephen's only kill of the movie came when he blasted Lucian with the defibrillator during their astral battle, though this could technically count as Christine's kill.

Doctor Strange also featured one of the most moving death scenes in the entire franchise, as The Ancient One stretched her final moment into a thousand. It's easy to miss, but when Kaecilius stabbed his former teacher, he actually went through one of his own followers as well, taking the total death toll to nine without those erased by the Time Stone.
