Multiverse Of Madness: 7 Places Wong Can Show Up Next In The MCU

Multiverse Of Madness: 7 Places Wong Can Show Up Next In The MCU

Shang-Chi is one of the best new heroes in the MCU’s Phase 4, with his film, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, proving to be a surprise hit for Marvel last year. As such, the master martial artist has already been confirmed to be receiving his own sequel, though the plots of such a venture are yet unknown, as the film is still in the infancy of its production.
Many fans were surprised and delighted when they first learned that Benedict Wong’s iconic sorcerer would be returning in Shang-Chi, with his cameo serving as one of the film’s most important ties to the larger MCU. When the sequel inevitably comes along, it would not be terribly surprising to see Wong show up once more by Shang-Chi’s side, especially given that the two seemed to form a surprising bond by the end of their first encounter.
Avengers 5

Phase 4 of the MCU has certainly been building up fan expectations, with plenty of new heroes joining the Avengers’ roster that will surely make fantastic additions to the team once the next Avengers-level threat rears its head. While this film has not yet been given a title, cast list, or even a release date, the fifth entry in the Avengers franchise seems like an inevitability–one that many hope comes sooner rather than later.
When Avengers 5 inevitably comes around, Wong’s appearance therein would be expected, especially given his involvement in the last two installments of the franchise. While he and Doctor Strange are not technically considered official Avengers in the MCU, their connection to the group is undeniable. Furthermore, the events of Shang-Chi suggest that Wong is actually closer associated to the Avengers than Doctor Strange himself, making his appearance in the forthcoming film all the more likely.
She-Hulk

She-Hulk is one of Phase 4’s most exciting new endeavors as Tatiana Maslany makes her MCU debut in her very own Disney+ series, rumored to be premiering sometime this summer. Though little is known about the show’s plot, it has been confirmed that several MCU characters will be returning, including Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner/Hulk and Tim Roth’s Emil Blonsky/the Abomination.
While She-Hulk doesn’t initially seem like the kind of series that a sorcerer would make an appearance in, it must be noted that the presence of the Abomination in the series may indicate otherwise. The character was last seen during his cameo in Shang-Chi, wherein he was competing in a cage match against Wong himself. The two appeared to have a continuing camaraderie amidst this scene, indicating that the next time Abomination shows up, his sorcerer friend might be right there alongside him.
The Thunderbolts

Many fans have deduced from the direction of certain films and series of the past two years that the MCU is setting up a Thunderbolts lineup for its future phases. With the introduction of Baron Zemo, USAgent, Yelena Belova, Taskmaster, and more to the universe over the last several years, and with Julia Louis-Dreyfuss making several mysterious appearances while gathering these extraordinary people, the Thunderbolts team-up seems more and more likely with each installment of the MCU.
While Wong almost certainly would not be included in a lineup of the MCU’s best antiheroes, he does have a surprising connection to one of the favored potential members of the group: the Abomination. When the two appeared together in Shang-Chi, it appeared as though Wong had been training with the hulking monster for some mysterious purpose. It may be that Wong is involved in a government project to bring together these people, and has been assigned to oversee Abomination’s progress. If this is the case, then fans can be assured that Wong will at least make a cameo in whatever Thunderbolts project may occur down the line.
Loki Season 2

Loki is thus far the only live-action Marvel series to be confirmed for a second season. Though fans are not yet sure when the second season will go into production, much less when it will air on Disney+, they can expect it to premiere sometime near the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, as this is the next installment of the MCU to feature the series’ main villain, Kang the Conqueror. As such, the next season could come out sometime in early 2023, complimenting Quantumania‘s new February release date.
When Loki and his friends at the TVA finally return, they will be going up against the considerable force of Kang the Conqueror, this time in all his glory. Kang is a powerful villain, sometimes portrayed as having ties to the mystic arts. When they finally go head-to-head with this conquering variant, they may need the help of a certain Sorcerer Supreme to take down such a colossal threat.
Doctor Strange 3

Multiverse of Madness ended with some shocking implications for the MCU, leaving fans with dozens of unanswered questions concerning the futures of their favorite characters. While the third film in this series hasn’t yet been officially announced by Marvel Studios, its existence seems like an inevitability given the mid-credits scene of Multiverse of Madness and its raging success at the box office.
When Doctor Strange 3 finally does premiere, it would feel almost incomplete if it didn’t feature Wong in some way. The character has become a staple of the franchise and therefore requires some level of impact on the next film’s story. However, given that this film is likely several years away, most fans can only hope that they’ll see Wong return long before this particular sequel hits theaters.
Spinoff Series

When the character was first introduced in Doctor Strange, Marvel Studios likely had no idea just how popular Wong would become with the fanbase. After his appearances in Shang-Chi, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Multiverse of Madness, some Marvel fans have begun to petition for Wong to receive his very own Disney+ series, something that Benedict Wong himself recently commented on.
Now that Wong is officially the Sorcerer Supreme instead of Doctor Strange, there are plenty of directions that a potential spinoff following the character could take. There are five years of his history completely unaccounted for in between Infinity War and Endgame, which could make for quite an interesting story in a post-Decimation world. Additionally, Wong seems to have kept himself busy in the years since the Blip, popping up unexpectedly in several corners of the MCU over the last year, indicating that there is much about the fan-favorite sorcerer that Marvel Studios isn’t yet telling us.
