The Quantum Realm – setting the premises for Doctor Strange

Doctor Strange is, in this way, the first film set by Ant-Man. Sure enough, there is nothing magical in quantum mechanics, physics, philosophy, and so on. However, this is the card Marvel intends to play – and, in this case, magic is nothing short than amazing, nothing else than strange.

This last movie of Phase II has thus introduced the idea of a new dimension, making the MCU expand even further. And, if we are to understand anything from what Feige said, then it is this: the Quantum Realm is nothing else than the door through which entities like Dormammu can enter the Avengers’ world.

Here is what Feige said last year, when Doctor Strange was announced: “it’s our opportunity to take that left turn into the supernatural. Now, what is the definition of supernatural? It varies. We like the idea of playing with alternate dimensions, […] playing with the perceptions of reality.” (via Screen Rant). And this cannot be anything else than a confirmation that Ant-Man has set up the premises of Doctor Strange.
