Doctor Strange was filming in London this past weekend — a London made to look like New York City — and whenever you film in the public like that, chances are good someone will have a cell phone with them to take pictures or record some video.
And that’s exactly what happened.
We have one man periscoping the whole shot and then we have a few other pictures that were taken, all of them ending up on a twitter account called Anything Cumberbatch. https://twitter.com/Anythingbatch
The scene shows Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular Doctor Strange and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo, pushing through a crowded sidewalk to get to a man dressed in yellow robes who’s fallen on the street. It appears that he’s been smashed through a window as there’s shattered glass on the ground around him.

Speculation has been that this man on the sidewalk is none other than Doctor Strange’s trusty right-hand man, Wong, as played by Benedict Wong, which would make perfect sense. However, since we never see him turn around and we never see his face, it’s impossible to tell from these sources.
However, they tweet later that it could be the Ancient One, played by Tilda Swinton. Honestly, there’s precedence in the comics for it to be either one.
#spoilers We all thought that was Wong but it seems it’s The Ancient one. What do u think? #drstrange pic.twitter.com/0AgLkHU5rH
