     Recently IGN caught up with Kevin Feige at an advance screening for Guardians of the Galaxy and they took the time to to ask him about Doctor Strange teaming up with the Avengers and gave us an update on casting!

     "It does make sense [to have standalone franchises], but I don't think it makes sense for this character, who has clearly woven in and out of that stuff [The Avengers] in the comics,"  Feige said "We have a template. There's a template for everything we do, which are the comics. Strange goes back and forth. Guardians less so, actually, until recently. But if there's a character like that who clearly interweaves over the course of many stories, I find no reason to go, 'We're not going to do that in the movies. We're going to keep him in his own movies.' So there's always the potential for it [Strange to join The Avengers]"

IGN then went on to ask if we will be getting a casting annoucement regarding Doctor Strange. Feige said while it may not be as quick as next Saturday "it'll be relatively quickly." 

     Well casting for the film could still possibly be revealed this Saturday at Comic-Con, if not it's they're gonna reveal it quick like he said! Could that mean before or after the event? What do you think? Would you want to see the 'Sorcerer Supreme' team up with the Earth's Mightiest Heroes in the future? Sound off below!

Have him pop up every now and then. I'd prefer if he were more of a pop up guy than a member of the team or anything.

Well it does suck that doctor strange won't be in the defenders hopefully we can still get him and hulk interacting since they are both defenders character. *Sigh* too bad i won't get the defenders story i want to see. Screw planet hulk. Give Me Hulk: Prince of the Whales.

I like the idea of him floating through the different films. I liked him in New Avengers, but it always felt a little forced. Like they were trying to find reasons for him to be there.

Yeah ive never been a huge Dr Strange fan but from what i gather a hero comes across something supernatural and goes to Strange for help. Makes sense to have him on the fringes doing his astral plane thing.

Is Avengers 3 supposed to be the Infinity Gauntlet?

It think it would be cool to bring in Doctor Strange for that story
