"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," Marvel head Kevin Feige told IGN when we spoke to him in advance of the release of Guardians of the Galaxy recently. "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]."
As to when we might hear some casting news for the character, Feige says "relatively quickly."
"I don't know if it'll be as quick as next Saturday," he added. "But it'll be relatively quickly."
