Marvel Comics has some of the most iconic fictional characters ever, presenting readers with flawed and relatable heroes who overcome their weaknesses to save the world from massive existential threats. While comics were the predominant medium featuring these characters for decades, tides have shifted in the superhero genre in the last few decades. Movies and television have become the most well-known medium of the superhero genre, leading to countless live-action adaptations of Marvel’s iconic pantheon of characters. Most notably, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has brought many of these characters to life, some for the first time in live-action, depicting their own interpretation of their histories, personalities, and powers.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has delivered iconic characters, from Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man to Chris Evans’s Captain America. However, the franchise hasn’t always pleased fans with its interpretations of fan-favorite comic characters. The MCU’s handling of characters like Taskmaster, Captain Marvel, and the Quicksilver has been controversial. Even so, on rare occasions, the MCU’s reimagining of a classic character has proven even better than in the comics. This is the case with Benedict Wong’s fan-favorite Sorcerer Supreme, Wong, who has become an iconic character far surpassing his comic book counterpart.
Wong served Doctor Strange faithfully for much of his history in Marvel Comics, eventually seeing his friend and boss become the new Sorcerer Supreme. On occasion, Wong has accompanied Strange on his many missions, though he is nowhere near as active a character as the sorcerer. Over the years, writers have given Wong various storylines, including romances, brushes with dancers, and insights into his history. Still, he remains loyal to his service to Kamar-Taj and Stephen Strange.
