Wong

"While heroes like the Avengers protect the world from physical dangers we sorcerers safeguard it against more mystical threats."

- Wong to Doctor Strange

Wong is a Master of the Mystic Arts of Kamar-Taj. When the former librarian was murdered by Kaecilius and the Zealots, Wong then became the highly protective keeper of the ancient books when he met Doctor Strange, and assisted him in his studies. As Kaecilius attempted to use his power to bring Dormammu to Earth, Wong and the other Masters used their power to eventually defeat him, at the cost of Ancient One's death. With the threat of Kaecilius over, Wong then joined Doctor Strange in protecting the New York Sanctum which was based within New York City.

Trained by the Ancient One
During his time with the Masters of the Mystic Arts, Wong learned of the Infinity Stones, such as the Space Stone and its association with HYDRA and the Red Skull, until Captain America defeated the Red Skull at the Battle in the Valkyrie. Wong was also aware of Captain America's sacrifice in the battle, and how the Space Stone was found by Howard Stark and given to S.H.I.E.L.D.. Wong also found out, through unknown means, that the Time Stone was housed inside the Eye of Agamotto.

Retrieving the Dark Scepter
"I've been sent from the Kamar-Taj to better understand the appearance of the relic which this woman now wields... and even after witnessing it with my own eyes, I don't believe I know any more than before I arrived here."

- Wong Wong had been tasked with locating and securing the Dark Scepter. An object of immense power, the Scepter had been stolen by a woman who had grew scornful against the world. Wong tracked her down to London and attempted to take the staff off her. However the power of the Dark Scepter proved too immense and the woman managed to escape. Back at Kamar-Taj, Kaecilius scorned Wong for losing the woman and the scepter, however, Wong insisted that with the power that the woman possessed with the Scepter, the situation should be handled more reverently.

Kaecilius claimed the Wong's concentration on his own failings was the reason the mission was not a success. Fellow Masters of the Mystic Arts, Daniel Drumm and Master Minoru, then arrived and told Kaecilius that Wong's trepidation should be a sign to be careful and heed his instincts rather than just insult him. When Kaecilius asked why they were not doing their other duties Drumm told him the the situation proved serious enough that more than one member of the Masters of The Mystic was needed to subdue the thief. Kaecilius refused however and claimed that he could handle the thief himself.

Wong, Drum, Minoru later arrived to find an unconscious Kaecilius who had been beaten by the thief and had underestimated the Staffs power. Kaecilius realized the others were right and decided to team up to stop the thief. Later at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, The group confronted the thief and after a grueling battle with their combined efforts they were able to overpower her and claim the Scepter. With Wong putting it with all the other mystical objects at the New York Sanctum for their own protection.

Tracking Infinity Stones
"Okay, so end of day, as long as no one finds all these stones and puts them together, we're in the clear." "Correct, but if someone does attempt to do so, we will need to prepare for the greatest battle this universe has ever seen."

- Doctor Strange and Wong

Keeping track of the Infinity Stones, Wong learned that the Power Stone was in outer space, and that the 2012 Battle of New York was the result of Loki bringing the Mind Stone to Earth to obtain the Space Stone, and how Thor took the Space Stone to Asgard with Loki after the Avengers repelled the Chitauri Invasion. He also uncovered that the 2013 Battle of Greenwich involved the Reality Stone, and that Thor had also taken the stone off world as well.

Wong also kept track of Mind Stone after the Fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. in 2014, as the stone passed between Baron Wolfgang von Strucker and Tony Stark, and its involment in the creation of the Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver and Ultron before being used to activate the Vision before the Battle of Sokovia in 2015, and how it remained with the Vision afterwards.

Wong also researched the Soul Stone, but found nothing but myths and legends of it being the most dangerous of the Infinity Stones, and how the universe would have its fiercest battle if someone were to bring all six Infinity Stones together.

Meeting Doctor Strange
"This section is for masters only, but at my discretion, others may use it. You should start with Maxim’s Primer. How’s your Sanskrit?" "I’m fluent in."

- Wong and Doctor Strange

Wong was appointed as the librarian at the Kamar-Taj after Kaecilius killed the previous one. Wong met Stephen Strange in the library and remained serious despite all Strange's attempts at jokes. He gave Strange new books and informed him he can burrow any book he pleases, including the Ancient One's private collections. However, if anyone tried to steal any of those books, he would kill anyone responsible.

Losing Books
"What do you want, Strange?" "Books on Astral Projection." "You're not ready for that." "Try me, Beyoncé."

- Wong and Doctor Strange

Later as he was reading while listening to Beyoncé, he failed to notice Strange using his sling ring to take books from the library until his own reading book was "borrowed".

Explaining the Masters
"Your curiosity could have gotten you killed. You weren’t manipulating the space-time continuum, you were breaking it. We do not tamper with natural law, we defend it."

- Wong to Doctor Strange

Later when he and Karl Mordo caught Strange practicing a time spell from one of the forbidden books, they reprimanded him for it stating that he was breaking natural laws. Strange had been trying to call Wong for his guide to confirm if the book he'd learn is forbidden or not before without any option to learn it by himself and find out. He explained to Strange the purposes of the Sanctums for keeping Dormammu from Earth before the London Sanctum was destroyed by Kaecilius and the explosion knocked him back.

Battle at the Hong Kong Sanctum
"Choose your weapon wisely. No one steps foot in the Sanctum. No one."

- Wong to the Masters of the Mystic Arts

In response to attacks made towards all the Sanctums around the world, Wong defended the Hong Kong Sanctum from Kaecilius and the Zealots. While Wong collected the Wand of Watoomb, he ordered the remaining Masters of the Mystic Arts to not allow anyone to enter the final Sanctum. From unknown causes, Wong was killed in the process and the Sanctum was destroyed, allowing Dormammu to arrive, beginning to consume Earth and bring it into the Dark Dimension. When Strange used the Eye of Agamotto to reverse what had happened, he was revived.

Doctor Strange brought Wong into his time slip where the reverse effects wouldn't affect him, nor their comrade Karl Mordo, preparing to fight Kaecilius. Strange was expecting a lecture on breaking the laws of nature, but Wong, realizing there was no other choice, told Strange to keep going. Right when the duel was about to start, Strange seemingly abandoned the group and flew into the Dark Dimension.

Strange returned seconds later and the Zealots were taken to the Dark Dimension instead. Wong laughed at Strange's quip about the "warnings come after the spells". Unlike Karl Mordo, who became delusional and left the Masters of the Mystic Arts, Wong did not blame Strange for breaking the natural law.

Assisting Doctor Strange
"You might have a gift for the mystic arts, but you still have much to learn. Word of the Ancient One’s death will spread through the Multiverse. Earth has no Sorcerer Supreme to defend it."

- Wong to Doctor Strange

Before Strange was appointed to be a new guardian of the New York Sanctum in the wake of Daniel Drumm's untimely death, Wong revealed that the Eye of Agamotto held an Infinity Stone. Wong also noted that due to the Ancient One's death, Earth was vulnerable and needed them to be ready to defend it from those seeking to destroy it.

A few months into Strange's time as the New York Sanctum's guardian, Wong interrupted his journey into Astral Dimension to alert him to the foreboding air in the sanctums. Updating Strange to what he knew about the Infinity Stones, Wong also alerted Strange to Thor and Loki's presence in New York City.

Personality
"I am now the guardian of these books. So if a volume from this collection should be stolen again I'd know it and you'd be dead before you ever left the compound."

- Wong to Doctor Strange

As a longtime student of the Ancient One and one of the most knowledgeable Masters of the Mystic Arts in Kamar-Taj, Wong is serious and unflinching when it comes to performing his duties, both as an instructor and later, a librarian of Kamar-Taj. After Kaecilius' betrayal, Wong gets more reluctant to trust others, and constantly puts up a stern appearance, to the point of threatening Doctor Strange when the latter was only trying to be friendly and make jokes when coming to borrow books. Despite seemingly ignorant of contemporary pop culture, it is revealed that Wong actually enjoys his fair share of pop culture just like most are but pretends to not be aware of it around others, and is less serious when others are not around. Like Karl Mordo, he has a great deal of respect for the Ancient One and the natural laws, but unlike the younger student, he is capable of moral flexibility and willing to bend said laws when the situation desperately calls for it, as shown when he approved of Strange's time-bending when confronting Dormammu.

Although initially hostile to Strange, due to the latter's attempts to be funny and exceeding inquisitiveness, Wong has come to appreciate those traits as well as Strange's exceptional gift at the Mystic Arts, eventually becoming one of his strongest allies, and his surrogate tutor in the absence of the Ancient One. He was deadset against Strange using the Eye of Agamotto as it violates the laws of nature, but after seeing Strange use it for the benefit of mankind rather than abusing it, he decided to let Strange inherit it once he mastered its powers, but advised him not to wear it in plain sight until then as it is the vessel of an Infinity Stone. Even though Wong is evidently a very serious person, both Strange and Mordo were shocked that he laughed at the former’s remark about warnings coming after the spells upon the surviving Zealots’ transformations into Mindless Ones.

Behind the Scenes

 * Benedict Wong revealed in an interview with Den of Geek that the Marvel Cinematic Universe incarnation of Wong will be quite different from his comic book counterpart, who is generally considered to be a racial stereotype: "I’m certainly not going to be the tea-making manservant. We’re heading in a different direction. He’s more of a drill sergeant. There isn’t any martial arts for Wong in Doctor Strange actually, he’s more of a drill sergeant to Kamar-Taj. He’s one of the masters of sorcery."
 * Scott Derrickson revealed in an interview with Los Angeles Daily News that Wong was originally intended to be left out of Doctor Strange due to the stereotype associated with the character: "I was going to leave Wong out of the movie at first; he was an Asian sidekick manservant, what was I supposed to do with that? But once the decision was made to cast Tilda, we brought Wong back because, unlike the Ancient One, he could be completely subverted as a character and reworked into something that didn’t fall into any of the stereotypes of the comics."
 * Wong in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is the second live-action incarnation of the character, following an incarnation portrayed by.
 * Tsuyoshi Abe was a stunt double for Benedict Wong in the role of Wong.
 * Cem Ozgan was a stand-in for Benedict Wong in the role of Wong.
