Doctor Strange has a brief but amusing cameo early in Ragnarok's first act. After Loki takes Thor to New York to visit the retirement home where he stashed Odin (which has since been demolished), Loki suddenly disappears into a fiery portal, leaving behind a calling card for Thor.

Thor follows the directions on the card and ends up meeting Doctor Strange, at which point their brief interaction from his movie's mid-credits scene last year is seamlessly slotted in.

However, the Ragnarok version is extended by a few minutes, and as Strange explains to Thor that he wishes to keep Loki away from Earth, he keeps teleporting around, taking Thor with him and leaving him thoroughly confused.

Hilariously, Thor even ends up breaking a bookcase and falling down a flight of stairs as Strange cheekily teleports him from location to location, before finally sending him and Loki to Norway to meet Odin.

Strange's role in the film might be incredibly small and ultimately fairly inconsequential, but it sure was a fun nod towards Strange joining the team in Infinity War.
