The doomsayers were out in the open, pointing towards how it could all wither away in an instant. But just when it seemed the entire Universe would come crashing down, (Dr.) Doom arrived. That is the story of RDJ’s highly anticipated return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a nutshell.
The MCU needed that shot in the arm after all. Marvel movies had failed to strike a chord with fans at large for a long time now. And the noise around Jonathan Majors’ actions was growing too loud to ignore, prompting Kevin Feige & Co. to go all out. But theSherlock Holmesstar’s return means that fate has something else in store for Benedict Cumberbatch.
Benedict Cumberbatch has a lot to say on his Marvel future
As the Multiverse (and the MCU) tries to find its way through all the chaos, one character looks bound to play a central role –Benedict Cumberbatch‘s Doctor Strange. The Sorcerer Supreme has played a huge role in the multiverse saga. But it has been a long time since we last saw him in action.
Last spotted inDoctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness,Stephen Strange would have been central to how the Avengers would have dealt with the threat posed by Kang(s). While those plans might have been shelved, there can be no denial of the fact that Doctor Strange is all set to essay an important role.

In what might come as a shocking piece of news to Marvel fans around the world, Cumberbatch won’t be a part ofRobert Downey Jr.’s MCU return flick. It seems like the character will be out on his task with Clea. But that is not to suggest that you can write him off.
Benedict Cumberbatch’s bombshell reveal

It won’t be a stretch to say that Earth’s Mightiest Heroes will be shooting in the dark without the Sorcerer Supreme. That explains Cumberbatch’s reaction after letting the news out. He said,
Was that a spoiler? Fuck it. (Variety)
He wasn’t stopping there as well.The Imitation Gamestar was not one to hide what the future had in store for his character. While he wouldn’t have his day inAvengers: Doomsday,he would be at the helm of affairs inAvengers: Secret Wars.And the 48-year-old couldn’t be more thrilled for that.
While these details are sure to intrigue hardcore Marvel fans, what he said next will come off as music to fans’ ears. If everything goes right, we might have anotherDoctor Strangestandalone film. And while he gave no concrete details about the same, he couldn’t be more thankful to the team. He said,
They are very open to discussing where we go next. ‘Who do you want to write and direct the next one? 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.
