Which is interesting, considering when asked about it in an interview regarding her already having been in 'Doctor Strange', they said "She was only named in the credits so it's nothing that really affects us." Not sure if they are still sticking with that, or they just said that to avoid spoilers in what actually happens in the show. Although keep in mind that the Staff of One is an item originally from the 'Runaways' comic series, so it was just an obscure easter egg included in 'Doctor Strange', and not something that exclusively ties the two together.

IIRC she was referred to by name in Doctor Strange's tie-in comics. So this is going to be more difficult than they think...

For us or them? If they decide to just ignore that and do their own thing to the point where it doesn't match with what we have written up for Tina Minoru (Earth-199999), then we might have to split them up. Or they could just throw in a quick reference along the lines of "I left the Masters of the Mystic Arts alongside Mordo, and I took the Staff of One for myself". We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

The interviewees might say they didn't take into account what had been previously by Marvel Studios regarding Tina, but for the other writers and producers they may have been told to make that MCU-connection clear (the same way the Netflix shows reference the climax to 'Avengers 1').
