Doctor Strange 2 Sets Up An Exciting Future, Says Cumberbatch
Benedict Cumberbatch says that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness sets up an exciting MCU future for his titular sorcerer. In less than a week, Marvel will return to the big screen via the Sam Raimi-directed flick. And like most May releases for Marvel Studios, the events of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness are expected to have significant repercussions for the MCU moving forward. This marks Cumberbatch's second solo film within the franchise, though it is his sixth onscreen appearance overall.
Doctor Strange 2 also features the return of Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and the introduction of America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez). But despite many moving pieces, its core character remains the MCU sorcerer. Doctor Strange's decision to help Peter Parker (Tom Holland) in Spider-Man: No Way Home results in serious consequences concerning the state of the multiverse. Despite his good intentions, Strange's actions get him in trouble with the MCU's version of the Illuminati. It's uncertain how everything will be resolved at the end of Multiverse of Madness, but however things pan out, Cumberbatch promises that it sets up an exciting way forward for Doctor Strange.
