Now we all agree that a Doctor Strange movie is going to be a great addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But just how important is he going to be? Well over at ComicBookMovie.com, a Marvel insider told them that Doctor Strange is going to be much more integral to the development of Phase 3 than we previously suspected. Here’s what the individual said:

“What I can say is that Strange is being groomed to be the next Iron Man. The studio needs a new ‘hub’ character going into Phase 3 and beyond, as there is audience fatigue, aging stars and a need to move from Tony Stark/Iron Man as a ‘hub’ for films.”

I think we were all wondering who was going to fill Tony Stark’s shoes now that we know there won’t be back for additional Iron Man movies. So whoever ends up playing Doctor Strange has gotta be an actor with the charisma to hold together not just a franchise but an entire universe. No pressure.
