  • Stan Lee: man on the bus reading "The Doors Of Perception" by Aldous Huxley. The book is a recounting of Huxley's experience taking psychedelic drugs, with particular mention of their use in perceiving art. Dr Strange comics have long been associated with psychedelic drugs because of their use of surreal images to portray magical dimensions and beings. Marvel has always insisted that drugs played no part in the creation of Dr Strange, which may be why Lee is laughing at the book.
  • Benedict Cumberbatch and Rachel McAdams are the fifth and sixth, respectfully, Sherlock Holmes actors to appear in a Marvel comics based feature: -Sir Christopher Lee played Holmes in Sherlock Holmes and the Leading Lady (1991), and was the enemy in Captain America II: Death Too Soon (1979). -Jeremy Brett played Holmes in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1984) and was in The Incredible Hulk: Of Guilt, Models and Murder (1978). -Robert Downey Jr. played Sherlock Holmes in the Guy Ritchie film series, and appeared as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. -Sir Ian McKellen played Holmes in Mr. Holmes (2015), and appeared as Erik Lensherr/Magneto in the X-Men film series
  • The Mirror Dimension was influenced by the works of mathematical painter M.C. Escher and the fractal concept.
  • The Eye of Agamoto is the Time Stone, one of the Infinity Stones. Chronologically it is the fifth Infinity Stone to appear, after the Space Stone (the Tesseract from Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)), the Reality Stone (the Aether from Thor: The Dark World (2013)), the Power Stone (the Orb from Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)) and the Mind Stone (Loki's scepter/Vision's power source from The Avengers (2012) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)).
  • This is the fourth film in Rachel McAdams career in which she plays a love interest to a man who can travel through (or otherwise manipulate) time; the others were The Time Traveler's Wife (2009), Midnight in Paris (2011), and About Time (2013). In none of these four movies does McAdams's character herself get to participate in these time travels or manipulations.
