Kind of like how they just forgot about Natalie Portman, Kat Dennings, John C Reilly, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L Jackson, Iron Man 3....what else am I forgetting? Lol
shareBoth Mandarins and Hydra
shareThey also forgot about Liv Taylor/Betty Ross
shareWell unless she's pertinent to some future Doctor Strange, why would they not forget her? She played the supportive female friend she was supposed to play in the origin movie. What other purpose does she serve? There wasn't a romantic angle with her and Doc, so what other reason would there be for having her in another movie?
Oh and Portman was not good in the Thor movies. She didn't bring a whole lot to the role of Jane Foster. That's probably more a reflection of the way the character was written than Portman's abilities, however I've never been personally impressed by her. Bottom line, everyone else you mentioned (except Jeremy Renner and Sam Jackson), are secondary characters who aren't needed to advance future stories. And Kat Dennings is a horrible actress.
Probably.
If I remember right, Doctor Strange's main love interest is Clea.
Marvel is notorious for wasting female actresses in nothing parts ... that is, until Wonder Woman showed there was money to be made.
But every name actress in Hollywood would be willing to enter a mass cage death match for a nothing girlfriend role in a Marvel film. Every actor in the world would kill for an ongoing place on the Marvel juggernaut!
Frankly with how the first movie ended with them saying Good bye to each other, I don't think she should come back.
