Kevin Feige hints at potential Anchor Being of Earth 616’s
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.
