Without Wikipedia, the vast majority of people would have been in the dark about Marvel’s big announcement that Doctor Strange is heading into production.

Doctor Strange is important to Marvel for another reason. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Chris Hemsworth don’t have lifelong contracts, and eventually they will retire from these superhero roles.

If done properly, Strange can usher in a new era for the studio.
