The character was most recently seen in 2022\u2019s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law<\/a>, but speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Wong has teased that we \u201cmight\u201d see him again \u201cat some point in the future\u201d.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cAt some point in the future, yeah, I think he might come back.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked what his hopes are for the character going forward, Wong added: \u201cI think now that he is Sorcerer Supreme, there\u2019s so much scope and leadership that he has now, and we\u2019ll see where he goes.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know, maybe Strange is the sidekick now?\u201d<\/p>\n Wong also spoke about how he came to star as the character in the first place, having never expected the role to be such a fan favourite and so long running.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n He said: \u201cNo, I didn\u2019t. It\u2019s such a blessing in disguise how it all happened. You know, I was doing The Martian at the time, [and] was with my friend Chiwetel Ejiofor. We were having lunch and he\u2019s telling me, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019m doing this Doctor Strange.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cYou look on the internet and then all of sudden there\u2019s this character, he\u2019s kind of a little bit on the side, that said Wong, and my jaw dropped.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t have an agent now anyway, so I didn\u2019t know how to get involved. I tried the petition route by asking Chiwetel to sign it and get Benedict Cumberbatch to sign it, called \u2018Wong for Wong\u2019, which he wasn\u2019t really interested in doing.<\/p> \u201cThen I was filming Marco Polo, I got this mystery email from Marvel\/Disney, saying \u2018We\u2019d like you to audition for Lee,\u2019 which I kind of\u2026 you know, Wong is like Smith and Jones, so they couldn\u2019t kid me.<\/p>\n \u201cI went on tape, I did some tweaks in Slovakia, and then I found out in Malaysia.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd yeah, it\u2019s kind of just spiralled into a much beloved character, which I\u2019m all for. Now he\u2019s got the promotion of being the Sorceror Supreme, we\u2019ll see what lies ahead.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a massive Marvel fan anyway, so it\u2019s a bit of a win-win for me.\u201d<\/p>\n [squirrel-affiliate-playlist squirrel_playlist_id=\u201d612\u2033 \/]<\/p>\n MCU films and series are available to stream on Disney Plus, while 3 Body Problem is available to stream on Netflix now.
