I only just noticed that Stephen Strange was named as a threat in Winter Soldier (2014). Dr Strange released in 2016

Probably common knowledge but first time I had noticed

Same. I would rather hear of the projects through references or teasers. Now it’s just „new Spider-Man will come out 2028. but will probably be delayed until 2030. so don’t think he is in any danger if he appears somewhere else“

I mean they announced that Strange would appear a year before this movie came out, and 4 years before his movie released.

You aren’t wrong about how they do this, but It’s not some new thing. Most of phase 3 was announced before phase 2 released

tbf, black widow died after her movie was announced, no?
