Marvel Cinematic Universe will deal with the realm of mysticism and magic this November with the release of Scott Derrickson’s Doctor Strange. And maybe Iron Man?
Last we saw of Tony Stark in Captain America: Civil War, he was not on the best of terms with his fellow Avengers and may be in need of new friends. We know that Iron Man will make a feature in the upcoming Spiderman: Homecoming. Rumors are now abuzz in the Marvel fandom about Stark befriending Doctor Stephen Strange.
Mcuexchange.com reports that the rumor started after star Benedict Wong tweeted “Just wrapped” about Doctor Strange. It seems harmless enough until you take into account the director of the movie already announcing on April 3rd, 2016 about the film being wrapped in his own twitter account. That’s four months for the Marvel Studios to order reshoots and squeeze Tony Stark/ Iron Man into the film.
Just wrapped! @MarvelStudios @DrStrange #wong #wecanbeheroes #rememberrememberthefourthofnovember https://t.co/8PPPFuspZm

The speculation and rumor grew when the Twitter user and podcast host @s7evendaysageek tweeted out the following message: “It appears as if my little spies have bagged me a scoop! Tony Stark may have a cameo in #DoctorStrange.”

It should be noted that @s7evendaysageek a.k.a The Angry Ginger does not elaborate or give details about his ‘scoop’. Given the news about upcoming Avengers prequels, it would make sense for Tony Stark to form alliances with Doctor Strange, who will bring in mystical powers and Inception like mystical worlds into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel president Kevin Feige had announced that the final battle was something never seen before in superhero movies.
On a lighter note, if the rumors are true, we may finally see a scene like this come to life as well. A high chance? What do you think of this rumor?
The movie will hit the theaters on November 4, 2016.
