During a chat with Variety, Wong said that his character’s newfound stature was a shock. But, he’s loving this phase of the MCU so far.
“When I first embarked on the role, we looked at the old source material and it needed an update,” Wong explained. “I remember my opening gambit when I was in the trailer and waiting to meet with Kevin and producer Stephen Broussard, and was vehemently not into doing what was in the old source material.

This character has progressed now, and I found out when [director] Sam Raimi was on a conference call and talking me through the story. Here was this legend. He said, ‘Of course, you’re going to be the Sorcerer Supreme,’ and as this geek, it’s so great what they’ve done with the character and how he stands toe-to-toe with Doctor Strange.”
