Benedict Cumberbatch Teases Multiple Roles in MCU Films
As of right now, we have no idea when the next time we will see Doctor Strange. We can all obviously assume that we will probably see him in Avengers,
The King Dynasty and Secret War. So the actor does tease that, but he seems to hint that the next time we see him could be invariant form.So this comes to us from an interview that Benedict Cumberbatch did with Prestige,
and they specifically asked him about Marvel Studios’ phase five and phase six plans and how exactly he fit into those.
And he discusses this and how he could possibly fit into those plans as a result of what happens in Doctor Strange in the multiverse of Madness, specifically at the end of the film.
And there are quite a few long paragraphs here, but essentially he says that if you look at what they’re doing with Doctor Strange, the multiverse and the incursions, and the projects that they recently announced,
that he believes that we could be seeing more proper MCU Doctor Strange, but also that we are not done seeing multiple variants of strangers in different worlds.
But as far as what he would like and what he hopes for it’s, that when we follow the main Doctor Strange,
he remains a focus, and then whatever other versions could appear anywhere else, obviously those are just extras. Now, there are
plenty of projects he could realistically appear in, right? He could appear in Deadpool Three. He could appear obviously in any project related to anything multiverse. So low-key season two.
So it will be interesting to see where he does pop up and ultimately what happens with the likes of Doctor Strange three. Where does that fall in? Does it get delayed? Doesn’t have to be changed like the last film.
I mean, there are so many things that could affect everything. But I do think it’s pretty safe to say that he’s going to be an important part, if not in the Gang Dynasty, definitely Secret Wars, because he has to be
because he’s literally the one that knows everything about the Incursions, what’s going on, what’s happening, and why the Secret War is even going to happen. So he’s kind of going to have to be at the forefront of it.
And I think it makes sense because he’s a holdover of the old phases. He’s now more experienced. He’s kind of at the center of it. He’s the veteran of the team if
you will. So it really does make a lot of sense that this is how they’re going to handle him. And then in the meantime, we just get possible variants somewhere else. So I guess we’ll see.
