The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been expanding since Nick Fury first popped up in Iron Man's post-credit scene, and it's showing no signs of slowing down. We've been taken to the vastness of space, New York's dark underbelly in the Netflix shows, and back in time to WWII - but one area we haven't yet been allowed to explore is one that Doctor Strange will revel in; magic, and inter-dimensional travel.

It's a big, big step, because it opens all kinds of possibilities that could shake this universe to its very core. Could we see an alternate dimension where Tony Stark never became Iron Man, or where the Avengers lost the battle of New York? Could we see a reality where Thanos has destroyed the Earth and left our heroes in tatters? Could Doctor Strange be Marvel's way of continuing the MCU with the same characters, by just recasting them and calling it 'another dimension'? Who knows!

The possibilities are literally endless, and the level of depth that Doctor Strange could end up bringing to the table is astounding. Alternate dimensions are essentially an invitation to do whatever the hell you want, and this new facet of Marvel's cinematic universe could end up being one that changes it forevermore.

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!
