Kevin Feige's 2022 remarks at Benedict Cumberbatch's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony might have hinted at Doctor Strange being Earth-616’s Anchor Being. Anchor Beings are crucial characters whose existence is vital to the stability of their respective universes. In the MCU, this concept was introduced in "Deadpool & Wolverine," with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine serving as the Anchor Being for Earth-10005.

During the ceremony, Feige praised Cumberbatch’s portrayal of Doctor Strange, calling him "the anchor of the Marvel Cinematic Universe." This comment, which seemed like an accolade at the time, could have been a subtle hint towards Doctor Strange's pivotal role in the MCU’s multiverse.

Doctor Strange’s importance in the MCU has been underscored by his central role in significant events, including the battles against Thanos in "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame." His involvement in the multiverse saga, including his fight against villains in "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and his efforts to combat the Scarlet Witch in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," reinforces the theory that he may be Earth-616’s Anchor Being.

Doctor Strange’s role has been essential in maintaining the multiverse’s balance, making him a strong candidate for this title. His continued presence and influence across multiple realities, along with his central role in upcoming Phase 6 films like "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Avengers: Secret Wars," suggest he might be the MCU's linchpin.

Feige’s use of the term "anchor" could be seen as more than just a compliment, hinting at a deeper connection between Doctor Strange and the stability of Earth-616. As the MCU progresses, the significance of Doctor Strange’s role could become even more apparent, affirming his place as a central figure in the Marvel Universe’s intricate web.
