A new Doctor Strange spin-off show is rumored to be in development at Disney+. The series is reportedly inspired by the Strange Academy comics and will focus on up-and-coming magician heroes honing their skills.
According to a rumor from the Tales from the Mod Queue on Reddit, a show based on the Strange Academy comics is in development at Marvel Studios. The show – which would presumably release on Disney+ like every other Marvel Studios series thus far – is rumored to star Wong (Benedict Wong) and feature America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez). Additionally, Zelma Stanton, who will reportedly be introduced in the upcoming Ironheart show, could appear.
The Direct further points out that if the comic storyline sharing the rumored show’s name is adapted, the series would focus on a school for new magic users in the MCU — similar to the classes offered at Kamar-Taj in the Doctor Strange franchise thus far.
Unlike the comic, rather than focusing on Doctor Strange himself, the potential show seems to be placing focus on Wong, which makes sense given that the latter is the Sorcerer Supreme in the MCU.
As always since nothing has been confirmed by Disney or Marvel, we will treat this as a rumor for now.
