So according to Kevin Feige about why Strange was written out of Wandavision:
“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.’” 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.”
Side note: I liked Olsen's response in the article to the criticism of Wanda not facing consequences. Divisive moral opinions can be good, keeps the conversation going.
Now I know some of you will eye roll, fine. I just wanted to point out how cringy it is for Kevin Feige, of all people, to insert this 💩 (I think he's over compensating for the iron man 3 nontroversy but whatever) when your fanbase was already disappointed about Quicksilver. Now you took away Strange cameos and even rewrote Multiverse of Madness because what, no confidence in Wanda? It's wrong for a woman to learn fictional pew pew from a - white - man? 🤦♂️😂🤷♂️
Tl:dr strange was written out of Wandavision and had a script rewrite for Strange 2 because identity politics.
