I assume he'll still take the central role and everyone else will "come and go"
My point is, a movie isn't somehow better with sexualized fan service. People shouldn't expect actors to put themselves in that kind of situation. The film isn't ruined by actors not being pretty enough or whatever
It wouldn't be the first Marvel movie with a bunch of characters but it will still probably be mostly about Strange dealing with the multiverse and becoming the Sorcerer Supreme.
I think it depends on a lot of factors, and ultimately should be something that the actors are comfortable with and fit well enough.
He was only really like that in his solo movie, where everyone was more straight than he was, although Wong was pretty funny on his own. But in IW, he was around more humorous characters so he was fairly straight, and he barely had screen time in EG.
Although, he would also the the "straight man" in that he's trying to keep things together but every other hero/villain is just throwing new things at him.
I think he's a fan of Strange, iirc. He referenced him in SM2 (and Shazam in SM1, but he's not showing up. Or is he!? Everyone else seems to be)
I do hope Strange retains some of his time magic. Not to the level of the Time Stone, but at least to be able to reverse eating an apple
One thing I would love to see with the MCU directors/actors/crew is to admit that they still read comics. It seems like every MCU interview I watch they all say the same thing "well, I read comics as a kid and loved the character". Key words "as a kid". Or they always reference that they're fans of the classic triumvirate of Lee/Kirby/Ditko. There are other artists/writers. No shame in adults reading comics. There's plenty that do.

It's a safe bet because they can preemptively avoid getting asked about their thoughts on recent comics.
But you can tell when somebody is paying attention like when Russo Bros used Cap's 'Super Soldier' costume in WS when it was a still a recent addition in the comics or when Coogler incorporated T'Challa's nano tech suit into his movie, which also appeared very recently in Coates/Stelfreeze's BP run.
Tolstoy will live forever. Some people do. But that's not enough. It's not the length of a life that matters, just the depth of it. The chances we take. The paths we choose. How we go on when our hearts break. Hearts always break and so we bend with our hearts. And we sway. But in the end what matters is that we loved... and lived.
