Benedict Cumberbatch reveals Doctor Strange's pivotal role in the MCU's future, while confirming his absence from Avengers: Doomsday. In a recent interview with Variety, Cumberbatch playfully admitted to spoiling some details, stating that Doctor Strange will have a "quite central" role in Avengers: Secret Wars. He even hinted at a third standalone Doctor Strange film being in the works.
Cumberbatch elaborated on the character's future, emphasizing the rich potential for exploration: "They are very open to discussing where we go next... What part of the comic lore do you want to explore so that Strange can keep evolving? 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."
Regarding Doctor Strange's omission from Avengers: Doomsday, Cumberbatch explained that it's due to "the character not aligning with this part of the story." This upcoming installment, directed by the Russo Brothers, will feature Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and reportedly Chris Evans, amongst others, delving further into the multiverse storyline with appearances by characters like Hayley Atwell's Agent Carter.
