Benedict Cumberbatch reveals Doctor Strange's pivotal role in future MCU installments. While skipping Avengers: Doomsday, the Sorcerer Supreme will be "quite central" to the sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars, according to Cumberbatch's interview with Variety. He even let slip a spoiler before playfully exclaiming "f*** it."
Cumberbatch hinted at a significant role for Doctor Strange in shaping the MCU's trajectory, stating that discussions are underway for a third standalone Doctor Strange film. He emphasized the character's depth and complexity, offering ample opportunities for future exploration: "He’s a very rich character to play. He’s a complex, contradictory, troubled human who’s got these extraordinary abilities, so there’s potent stuff to mess about with."
His absence from Avengers: Doomsday is attributed to a narrative decision, with Cumberbatch explaining that the character's arc doesn't align with that particular story. The film, directed by the Russo Brothers, will reportedly star Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and Chris Evans, continuing the multiverse storyline and featuring Hayley Atwell's Agent Carter.
