Benedict Wong first played Wong in 2016's Doctor Strange, and the character - given a long-overdue update instead of being portrayed as the Sorcerer Supreme's manservant - became an instant hit with fans.
The actor has since appeared in Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, with the latter few projects establishing him as the MCU's new Sorcerer Supreme.
There have been rumblings that Marvel Studios might be developing a Strange Academy TV series for Disney+ featuring Wong training the likes of America Chavez and Abomination, and Benedict has now teased the hero's impending return.
"I can't really say. It's been a while," he told ComicBook.com when they asked about his future in the MCU. "Something's looming. Something's looming."
In 2022, Benedict was asked how he felt when Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige dubbed the MCU the "Wong Cinematic Universe."
"I’ve got the email, I’m seriously considering getting it as a wallpaper. No, I told the internet, and now it’s everywhere. But that’s really kind of him to say," the actor said. "For me, I’m just like an overexcited puppy when I get the call from him, you know? Like, 'Hey, would you like to be in X?' And that comes from me, just personally, being such a Marvel fan."
"Growing up as a kid, reading Spider-Man comics, and then just finding myself in this world and finding a character called Wong. I’m just enjoying playing this role and where it takes me. In every single kind of project that they invite me to be involved in, it just pulls away another layer of the onion, you know? You get to find a little bit more about the eccentricities of the Sorcerer Supreme."
As for whether he's hoping for a Wong spin-off, Benedict added, "You know, a lot of people have said that. Yeah, I could certainly think of some ideas. But hey, it’s not for me to push that. If you ever see anyone, send the question over there. I mean, look, I love playing this role, and I think there’s so much more scope that we could go into with a series, yeah."
We'll see what happens but Marvel Studios is thought to be developing a third Doctor Strange movie, at the very least. Wong is bound to appear in that, particularly with Stephen Strange deciding to traverse the Multiverse alongside the mysterious Clea.
As for Strange Academy, it may have become a victim of Marvel Studios' recent initiative to cut down on its Disney+ offerings to focus on quality over quantity.
