Dr.Strange not in WandaVision b/c Feige didn't want "white guy" showing how "power worked"

The story of WandaVision‘s main character, Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. the Scarlet Witch (played by Elizabeth Olsen), is set to continue in 2022’s Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, but the two projects were almost linked much more directly. As Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige reveals in Rolling Stone‘s upcoming, extensive oral history of WandaVision, Marvel struck a deal with Benedict Cumberbatch to appear in the final episode of the show as Dr. Strange. But late in the process, they wrote him out.
quote:
“Some people might say, ‘Oh, it would’ve been so cool to see Dr. Strange,’” says Feige. “But it would have taken away from Wanda, which is what we didn’t want to do. We didn’t want the end of the show to be commoditized to go to the next movie — here’s the white guy, ‘Let me show you how power works.’”
quote:
That meant the Dr. Strange movie, too, had to be rewritten. In the end, Feige says, Marvel’s process is “a wonderful combination of very dedicated coordination, and chaos. Chaos magic.” At one point, back when Dr. Strange was supposed to be part of the story, the in-universe commercials were going to be messages from Strange to Wanda, and there was also talk of having Cumberbatch appear in one of the ads, head writer Jac Schaeffer says.

Why come out and say this? This is the problem with Hollywood, they have to SHOW they're Woke. Just don't have him in it and don't say anything about it. Nobody knew about this and no one cared. But you have to shout your woke BS from the roof top. Now you just look woke and stupid and make me fear for the future of Marvel projects!

fricking whackos unhinged on identity politics.

Is anyone surprised by this? Sure the real reason might be something normal, but how often can we hear this stuff before a lot of it actually turns out true? I know studios are very deliberate in showing their commitment to identity politics.
I'm curious how long they'll do this.

But by giving that quote, isn't Feige doing white mansplaining?

Marvel is going to end up shooting themselves in the foot if they're not careful.
Tbh I think they made the right decision to not include Strange, even though I was waiting for his cameo the whole time. WV was a great standalone show. There were a million mephisto theories, and I didn't think there would be any true resolution to the movie. Both of those ended up not being true.
In any case, there didn't need to be any explanation for this. Most fans were pretty content with Wanda having her own story where she didn't need other Avengers to come in and save her.

Reading between the lines, he's creating a "firebreak" to keep the screeching mob of transgendered Karens at bay.

RIPIP Marvel
They just couldn't resist destroying what made them a great franchise.

Sad how much importance our culture has put on a bunch of ludicrously fictional people wearing pajamas.

Casual racism has been normalized.

I'm picturing this as a voice-over while the video of "Captain Marvel" fighting to "I'm Just a Girl" is on screen.

the pandering doesn't always bother me if it doesn't affect the story....Ex girl power in End Game was way on the nose but overall didn't affect the story so whatever
This would have been great. So you sacrificed story for woke points? Ridiculous.

what percentage of your fanbase gives a shite about this?
Self-sabotage on Feige's part to alter creative direction to satisfy twitter commenters.
