While Stephen Strange/Doctor Strange may be one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most powerful following the events of Avengers: Endgame, there are some who speculate he might not actually be the hero he seems. In this new video, we're going to take you through the theory Doctor Strange might actually be a villain.
In the original Doctor Strange film, the hero messed with the timeline in order to stop Dormammu. However, this caused some tension with Karl Mordo, who didn't believe that use of the Eye of Agamotto was ethical. While Mordo certainly isn't one to judge, he may just have a point. In Avengers: Infinity War, Doctor Strange once more looked into the future, finding only one in which Thanos was defeated. This theory posits Doctor Strange, however, would have had plenty of opportunities during this look to steer the MCU towards a future more beneficial to him than anyone else.
Check out the video below for more reasons Doctor Strange might have altered time for his own sinister purposes.
