Marvel’s Dr. Strange has made a surprise appearance during the first night of Disney Jollywood Nights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Dr. Strange Sighting
We spotted the Sorcerer Supreme roaming Grand Avenue. Cast Members discouraged guests from creating a line, allowing the character to walk around and take pictures with guests as he pleased.
Dr. Strange wasn’t among the advertised character meet and greets planned for Jollywood, although Disney did promise “more” than they announced.
Marvel characters, particularly Avengers, are rare at Walt Disney World due to an agreement with Universal that allows the rival theme park to maintain Marvel Super Hero Island without Disney offering competing experiences nearby. Guardians of the Galaxy are generally the only characters Walt Disney World can use, as characters who are part of the Avengers, X-Men, or Fantastic Four families are part of the deal with Universal. Dr. Strange briefly had a Hollywood Studios meet and greet in 2016.
