Is Wong in She-Hulk? Only Benedict Wong, as the now-Sorcerer Supreme, has had more recent appearances in the MCU than anyone else. Simu Liu in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Tom Holland in Spider-Man: No Way Home were just two of his cameos in the past year and a half. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, his most recent film, saw him in his most significant role to date.
Wong, who has appeared in seven films in the past six years, is becoming a more integral part of MCU’s future. Additionally, he is taking on a more active role in the Avengers alongside Bruce Banner and Carol Danvers.
There’s only one thing Wong hasn’t done yet in the MCU: appear in a live-action Disney+ series, despite his connections to a number of major characters from that segment already in Phase 4. With Benedict Wong joining one of the most eagerly awaited new streaming projects of the year, it appears that Marvel Studios is making things right for him.
Wong Makes a Comeback in the MCU on Disney+
The first trailer for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was shown during Marvel’s 2022 Upfront presentation in New York. Benedict Wong confirmed his return as the Sorcerer Supreme Wong as part of the announcement.
Mark Ruffalo as Smart Hulk, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky/the Abomination, and Benedict Wong as Wong are just a few of the MCU veterans who appear in the nine-episode series. Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jameela Jamil, Jon Bass, and Renée Elise Goldsberry also appear in the film as supporting players.
Doctor Strange 2, Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings, and Spider-Man: No Way Home are all in Phase 4 of the MCU, and this will be Wong’s fourth live-action MCU appearance. In addition, this will be his first appearance on a Disney+ MCU show.
Wong’s Direction in the MCU
When it comes to potential cast members for She-Hulk, Wong may not be the first name that comes to mind, but it feels like a natural fit given where the character has been thus far in Phase 4.
Xialing’s Golden Daggers Club, where Wong defeated Emil Blonsky in one of the main events, revealed that Wong had been training Tim Roth’s Abomination, as well as Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, who was played by Shang-Chi. His integration in this story arc shouldn’t come as a surprise, given how closely he is linked to both of those characters.
There’s a lot of speculation about how he’ll fit into an MCU show that’s shifting away from magic and toward a more realistic focus on legal issues.
Even though Marvel did not reveal how many episodes Wong will appear in, it’s safe to assume that he’ll meet Tatiana Maslany’s Jennifer Walters and the Abomination, as well as the Hulk. In any case, the Sorcerer Supreme’s importance to the MCU’s fabric cannot be overstated, as he has been linked to four of the franchise’s fifteen confirmed releases since 2021.
