“Avengers: Secret Wars” is rumored to be a huge multiversal team-up event. The movie will reportedly feature characters like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man, Sophie Turner’s Jean Grey, Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, and more.

It’s theorized that the new team of Avengers will lose the battle against Kang in “Avengers: Kang Dynasty” and then travel to various Earths to recruit other heroes to help fight the villain.

But many fans have theorized that perhaps having heroes from various other Marvel properties won’t be enough to defeat Kang who has knowledge of the past, present, and future, and can control reality itself.

But maybe Marvel has a trick up its sleeve for that and that’s why its reportedly fast tracking “Doctor Strange 3” and a “Strange Academy” series based on comics of the same name.

Doctor Strange 3 And Strange Academy In Development?

The Cosmic Circus reported that Marvel Studios is developing a series based on the Strange Academy comics. As per the site:

“Strange Academy is meant to be one of the more important tie-in stories leading into The Kang Dynasty, as it will also tie into multiple aspects of the MCU aside from the supernatural.”

The Tales From The Mod Queue post from the Marvel Studios Spoilers subreddit first revealed that the Strange Academy-based series was going to focus on Wong and have America Chavez in it.

As for ‘Doctor Strange 3,” Marvel is apparently developing that too as per scooper Greatphase. He said in a tweet that Marvel Studios wants it released before “Avengers: Kang Dynasty” (May 2 2025).

Check out the tweet:

However, there has been no official word from Marvel Studios on any of this. So it could just be false rumors. After all, a lot of these scoopers have previously been very wrong. So it’s better to take this information with a pinch of salt.

But if the rumors are right, then we think we know why they are fast tracking these two projects.

Why Is Marvel Studios Fast Tracking The Two Projects?

One of the biggest issues of “Doctor Strange 2” was the fact that it had a rushed production which was reflected in the final film. So it makes one wonder why Marvel wants to rush not one, but two Doctor Strange productions. It could be because Magic will play a huge role in defeating Kang.

As a result, they are planning on developing and expanding that part of the MCU more “Kang Dynasty.” After all, the MCU has been really neglecting the development of its magical side. Fans and casual viewers have a lot of questions about the magical system. We don’t know much about what goes on at Kamar Taj or what are the exact duties of the Sorcerer Supreme.

Also, what are the differences between a sorcerer and a witch? We know that witches use incantation and runes, and they need to find a coven, but what more? Maybe the Strange Academy series will give us the answers. Also, since Scarlet Witch is the focus of a powerful prophesy so a confrontation with Kang, who also wants to rule the multiverse, won’t be out of the question.

In fact, she and the other magicians might be the Avengers’ only hope in defeating Kang. However, first they have to bring the Scarlet Witch back again. So the Doctor Strange 3 movie will be the perfect place to do it since we have received conflicting reports on whether the character is going to receive her own solo movie.

Also, a Strange Academy series will flesh out America Chavez’s character better. We don’t know much about apart from her multiversal portal opening powers. So if she can control and develop her powers, then she can use it to maybe open multiple portals simultaneously to the multiverse.

After all, we are guessing that in “Avengers: Secret Wars,” they will need to go to other Earths simultaneously.

What do you think about this? Let us know.
