Wong had been a great part of the Doctor Strange sequel. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness features a lot of gruesome deaths, mostly by the Scarlet Witch. There were a lot of possibilities that the movie could have gone forward with but didn’t. Concept arts show other scenes and versions of the movie that could have been a part of the final cut but had been left out.

A lot of scenes had been removed from the movie that could have proven to be essential. One such scene was that of Mordo’s death.
