Benedict Cumberbatch Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop Confirming He’s In Avengers: Doomsday, So Why Is Marvel Being So Weird About It?

by

The Marvel Cinematic Universe consistently broadens its horizons due to the continuous addition of new films in cinemas and on Disney+. Unquestionably, the most eagerly awaited upcoming Marvel film is “Avengers: Doomsday,” boasting an extensive cast and the reappearance of Robert Downey Jr. However, it’s puzzling why Marvel remains vague about Benedict Cumberbatch‘s role as Doctor Strange.

Information about “Avengers: Doomsday” is somewhat scarce, yet excitement among fans is high due to anticipation of seeing multiple hero teams intermingle. The cast announcement for “Doomsday” featured numerous actors, however Benedict Cumberbatch from “Sherlock” was not among them. In January, Cumberbatch himself revealed he had a role in the production, which left fans surprised when he didn’t appear in the live stream casting announcement. During an interview with Omelete from Brazil, Cumberbatch humorously suggested that perhaps he wasn’t officially listed as part of the cast.

I don’t know, maybe they didn’t have enough chairs.

It’s interesting that even though Kevin Feige announced that Doomsday has a larger cast than previously disclosed, Benedict Cumberbatch continues to hint at his appearance in the upcoming film directed by the Russo Brothers. Given how strict Marvel’s security usually is, it’s quite surprising.

For the past few months, there’s been a lot of talk about whether Doctor Strange will be part of the next two Avengers films. At first, Benedict Cumberbatch said he was only in Secret Wars, but later clarified that he had made a mistake and would actually appear in Doomsday. It’s good to know that, despite being 49 years old, the actor is keeping his fans informed.

Disney+ offers a variety of Marvel Cinematic Universe content, including Doctor Strange’s tenure played by Benedict Cumberbatch. You can subscribe to the new ad-supported plan starting at just $9.99 per month.

It’s intriguing to consider if the persistent remarks about his character’s part in “Avengers: Doomsday” may have led to a studio controversy for this actor. Fans who have followed Marvel movies over the years are well aware that actors often need to keep the secrets of the interconnected universe under wraps. However, there have been exceptions like Tom Holland who accidentally leaked spoilers in the past.

Since April, Doomsday has been under production, with The Russo Brothers skillfully managing their large cast over several months. While Benedict Cumberbatch has repeatedly confirmed his involvement, it remains to be seen just how integral the previous Sorcerer Supreme will be to the intriguing plot that’s shrouded in mystery.

Anticipation is high among fans as they eagerly look forward to the return of Benedict Cumberbatch’s character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a desire that was sparked by the finale of “Doctor Strange 2”. The post-credits scene in “Multiverse of Madness” depicted him with a third eye and introduced Charlize Theron as Clea. However, he hasn’t reappeared since then. We can only hope that some of our queries will be addressed if or when he resurfaces in “Doomsday”. Here’s to keeping our fingers crossed.

The secrets will unravel when the movie “Avengers: Doomsday” premieres in theaters on December 18, 2026. I can only hope that the studio confirms Doctor Strange’s appearance in the film before it comes out.
