However, that doesn’t mean that director Scott Derrickson doesn’t want to see such a meeting take place.
Doctor Strange is the next film to premiere on the MCU slate, and all of the marketing material seems to indicate that Benedict Cumberbatch’s Stephen Strange won’t interact with too many established Marvel characters.
According to the director: he really wants to see The Sorcerer Supreme meet Rocket Raccoon and Groot.
Despite the fact that the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand and interconnect its films, it still doesn’t shy away from standalone stories every now and then.
