Doctor Strange 2 Reshoots Have Been Tough, Says Benedict Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch opened up about how reshoots for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness have been “tough for everyone.” After the events of last year’s box-office giant Spider-Man: No Way Home saw the concept of the multiverse blown wide open, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is set to focus on the subsequent fallout. Cumberbatch will return to his role as Doctor Stephen Strange alongside Elizabeth Olsen who will return as Wanda Maximoff, following on from the events of Wandavision, which saw her become the all-power Scarlett Witch. Benedict Wong, Rachel McAdams and Chiwetel Ejiofor will also star alongside Marvel newcomer Xochitl Gomez, who will bring America Chavez to the big screen for the very first time.
Given the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with a major schedule reshuffle from Marvel, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness has not had an easy road throughout its production. Initially slated for release in May 2021, the highly-anticipated sequel will now hit theatres in just under two months, with Cumberbatch recently revealing that the film is still currently undergoing reshoots in LA. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is expected to be one of the biggest MCU projects to date and is rumored to feature a number of unexpected appearances, given that the concept of the multiverse allows for a limitless number of possibilities as to who, or what could cross over into the MCU timeline.
