Magic in the MCU

Until now, the Asgardians were the only beings that used magic in the MCU – and even they explained magic as being highly advanced science. So, in a way, we haven’t seen this side of the MCU until now – well, at least not properly.

So will Doctor Strange bring magic into the MCU? He should, right, because he is called the Sorcerer Supreme?

The teaser trailer gives us a couple of glimpses to this end – however, nothing too consistent coming from Stephen Strange, except for his hand movements. The still unknown character portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen is, however, doing some pretty nifty magic tricks that could put Loki to shame.

But is this pure sorcery, or is it something else? At this point we are inclined that it is. However, given the fact that Feige once said Ant-Man will be the first to visit other dimensions, only to be followed by Doctor Strange, we are not totally certain. The chakras and all the things Stephen Strange doesn’t believe in might just be some other forms of science. Weird science, that is…

But, hey, even if that happens, they will at least show Cumberbatch doing his awesome hand dance moves.
