Captain Marvel: Is THIS how Doctor Strange will cameo in Brie Larson’s solo movie?

WARNING SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS INFINITY WAR AHEAD

The shocking end of the Marvel epic left fans completely gobsmacked as half the universe turned to ash.

Of course we weren’t entirely left without hope though, as Doctor Strange clearly knows what’s going on.

Earlier on in Infinity War he revealed to Tony Stark he had seen one possible future where the Avengers could defeat Thanos.

However it soon became evident this involved the Sorcerer Supreme willingly handing over the Time Stone to the Mad Titan, sparing Iron Man’s life and letting the villain succeed.

And when Doctor Strange turned to ash, he told Tony: “It was the only way.”

Then came the end credits scene which gave a hint of Captain Marvel, something that one theorist reckons was only able to happen because of the Sorcerer Supreme time travelling back to the 1990s.

Reddit user WamsyTheOneAndOnly writes: “Doctor Strange knows what happens in the future, he sets it up in fact.

“He knew that Thanos had to snap his fingers at that exact right time and under all these certain conditions for them to win. He’s setting up Captain Marvel’s return to Earth.”

They continued: “I believe he’ll appear in the Captain Marvel movie and tell Fury it is vital for him to carry around with him the pager to contact Captain Marvel.

“Nick Fury, knowing about Steven Strange lists him as an ally to S.H.I.E.L.D. which of course is how Hydra knows about him despite him being a neurosurgeon (anyone who is an ally of SHIELD is a threat to HYDRA).”

Marvel fans will remember Doctor Strange is mentioned as a threat by Hydra agent Jasper Sitwell in Captain America: The Winter Solider.

DID DOCTOR STRANGE BETRAY EVERYONE?

The theorist continued: “He warns him of an event in the future referring to the people turning to dust without warning, this is why Fury’s instant reaction to seeing Maria Hill turn to ash was to run to the pager.

“But what our good friend Sorcerer Supreme didn’t mention was the fact that he does not survive hence the ‘Mother Fu…’ at the very end.

“We should also take note that the way he says it isn’t panicked or scared, he’s confident that Strange knows what he’s doing.”

Captain Marvel will be released in UK cinemas on March 8, 2019.
