Marvel’s ‘WandaVision’ Team Cut ‘Doctor Strange’ Cameo From Finale To Avoid ‘White Guy’ Saving The Day, Mansplaining Magic

The team behind the Marvel series, “WandaVision,” which aired on Disney+ earlier this year, cut a planned cameo from another of the Marvel Universe’s heroes over concerns it would look too much like a “white guy” had swooped in to save the day.

“WandaVision” focused on the plight of Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff (Scarlet Witch) following the events of “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame” and, notably, the death of “Vision,” Paul Bettany’s mind-bending cyborg — and Wanda’s love — that perished at the end of the last Marvel story arc.
