Doctor Strange was supposed to lose his sister
Whenever a movie is being edited, some cuts have to be made. One of these cuts was an important part of Doctor Strange’s past: the death of his sister, Donna Strange. Donna, who died of hypothermia as a result of cramping while swimming, had led Stephen Strange to become a doctor.
Strange’s sister, Donna, is played by Lulu Wilson, who is known for her performances in Origin of Evil (2016), The Haunting of Hillhouse (2018) and Becky (2020). However, according to a statement by director Scott Derrickson, she was cut because “it didn’t fit the movie”.
