Doctor Doom theory
I know this is very unlikely as there probably isn’t any precedent for it in the comics, but I could see it working…
Dr. Strange becomes Dr. Doom. The MCU has been slowly setting up Steven’s corruption. We’ve seen versions of him become corrupted and we’ve been told that his existence is a threat to reality.
Our main MCU Strange is supposed to be special, but he’s already shown that he will use magic in shady or even forbidden ways to achieve his goals and that he isn’t empathetic when he believes there’s a greater risk.
Now he’s been corrupted by the Darkhold. We saw how that basically undid Wanda’s breakthrough at the end of WandaVision.
Doom is such a great character and believes in his own reasoning, which can often be empathized with.
Strange has been stripped of the Sorcerer Supreme title, but still sees himself above Wong and other magic users.
Cumberbatch is a big name and Dr. Strange seems to be one of the few sticking around.
I think Strange is one big facial scar away from becoming the best villain.
This could also fix the Kang/JM issue if Dr. Strange 3 sets him up to become Doom for Secret Wars (rather than shoehorning in a new actor).
But I’m also still holding out hope that MF DOOM faked his death and will play the role himself!
