His comments come almost two months after a report indicated that Sorcerer Supreme Wong would be getting his Disney+ series. The report indicated that Marvel Studios is in the process of developing Strange Academy, inspired by the fictional school of the same name featured in Marvel Comics. As perThe Cosmic Circus, the series would “be one of the more important tie-in storiesleading intoThe Kang Dynasty, as it will also tie into multiple aspects of the MCU aside from the supernatural.” Given his role in training America Chavez at the conclusion ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it’s possible that Wong’s speculated MCU project could become a reality.
There’s no doubt that Wong is an exceptional actor and his character is an important part of the MCU. In the upcoming phase of the MCU, superheroes will definitely need the help of the Sorcerer Supremeto fight against Kang the Conqueror. The aforementioned villain has several variants and it would be wise for Marvel heroes to have someone as formidable as Wong on their side.
