The first payoff of this scene is the revelation of Strange’s conversation partner: Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the god of thunder himself, which leads to a fun little gag about Thor continuing to drink while the future Sorcerer Supreme continues to magically fill the glass up again.īut neither moment compares to the real thrust of the scene: that Thor and his mischievous brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), are on Earth, looking for their missing father, Odin (Anthony Hopkins). In the movie’s mid-credits scene, we see Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) talking to someone off-screen in the New York Sanctum Sanctorum, offering him something to drink while preparing to talk about what will apparently be some serious business.

We’ll still have to wait and see if the box office take will back up this creative success, but that can’t stop us from saluting what writer-director Scott Derrickson and his collaborators have managed to accomplish now. The good news is that the risk more than paid off, providing one of the strongest installments yet in the MCU (and considering that this is the 14th entry, that’s no small compliment). Its absolutely stellar cast (one of the reasons why Marvel Studios, the film arm, was purported to break away from the overarching Marvel Entertainment), its way-out-there visuals, its mystical subject matter – all combine to make not only a departure for the shared universe, but one of the company’s biggest gambles yet. Let’s be honest: Doctor Strange had a lot to live up to, and more than for just being the first new property to debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Phase III.
