Bad time to sell him <| sep |> No . They just dropped the name in the movie . They explained how the algorhytm indeed , but they mentioned NOTHING about Strange but his name . Not his profession . Not his status . NOTHING . Feige explained how things were in an interview , so don ' t blatantly lie to support your opinion . Not everyone follows news about the MCU religiously like us . For people who only heard it in Winter Soldier , it used to be a legit theory . There are theories like how Captain America actually tried to kill Tony at the end of Civil War by destroying the arc reactor . There are theories about how Loki planned to lose in the Avengers , because he never wanted to rule Earth . There were theories that an Infinity Stone will be introduced in Agents of Shield it turned out to be the Diviner . There are theories that Thor ' s hammer is an Infinity Stone . Bottom line , there are hundreds utterly stupid MCU theories that would not make any sense and are way dumber and way less reasonable than this one . But this one is frequent now and it gives you an opportunity to brag about a knowledge you gained from an interview , so of course you picked that one ! Classy move .
