Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme
Doctor Strange, the Sorcerer Supreme, is a mystical powerhouse and a key figure in the MCU. Introduced in his eponymous film, Doctor Strange has been somewhat elusive in his interactions with Sam Wilson, the new Captain America. Despite being present in major events like Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, Doctor Strange has never directly crossed paths with Sam. Their encounter at Tony Stark's funeral hints at a potential meeting, but the lack of on-screen interaction leaves their relationship unexplored.
