Benedict Wong reveals that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness marks a huge MCU moment for his character, Wong. Set to be one of the darkest installments within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Multiverse of Madness' release date is now just days away. Beloved director Sam Raimi helms this highly anticipated project, which sees Benedict Cumberbatch return to attempt a clean-up of multiversal proportions, following the events of last year's Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The film will also welcome back Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff, Chiwetel Ejiofor's Baron Mordo, and Rachel McAdams' Christine Palmer. Doctor Strange 2 also features newcomer Xochitl Gomez, who will make her MCU debut as young hero America Chavez. Also returning is Sorcerer Supreme, Wong, who audiences were first acquainted with back in 2016's original Doctor Strange. First introduced as the librarian of Kamar-Taj and mentor to Strange, Wong's character has since gone on to have an expanded role within the MCU, having recently had two memorable appearances in both Spider-Man: No Way Home and Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Now, in an exclusive interview with Screen Rant for Multiverse of Madness, Wong was asked how this film ranks in terms of his character's biggest MCU moments, as well as what sort of impact the movie will ultimately have on Wong's future. The actor then revealed that this film is a "huge sort of crescendo moment" for Wong, and cited his previous cameo in Shang Chi, revealing that Wong has "obviously been training." The star then went on to confirm that Multiverse of Madness sees Wong take on a "greater responsibility" than what audiences have previously seen. Check out Wong's full quote below.

"It's a huge sort of crescendo moment, I think, for Wong. We've seen how he's been stuck here, sedentary in the library, and now he's kind of moved out from the library. We've seen him fight upon - I can't say - in the film Shang-Chi, and so he's obviously been training ... And it's come to this; this greater responsibility that he has."

Wong's appearance in Shang Chi certainly took audiences by surprise, not only due to its unexpected nature but because it also saw the Sorcerer Supreme battle Tim Roth's Abomination, a character that has not been seen since 2008's The Incredible Hulk. His appearance raised a number of questions as to what Wong has been up to in all this time. Wong recently revealed that during a recent call with Kevin Feige, the Marvel President joked that the MCU should be renamed the WCU (Wong Cinematic Universe) given Wong's increased screen time across Marvel's Phase 4. The star has previously discussed Wong's "new role" and how it will be explored within Multiverse of Madness, even hinting at a shift in the dynamic between Wong and Doctor Strange.

For many, Wong has been somewhat of an underrated character during his time with the MCU, so this news that Multiverse of Madness could have some major implications for his character going forward is certainly exciting. Wong's future in the MCU following the events of this sequel currently remains shrouded in mystery, however, with the multiverse at the story's core, there is any number of possibilities as to where audiences could see Wong pop up next. For now, the wait to witness Wong's big moment in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is becoming much shorter, as the film releases this week on May 6.
