Benedict Cumberbatch Teases Doctor Strange’s MCU Future & ‘Avengers 5’ Role

Benedict Cumberbatch is not done playing Doctor Strange anytime soon, and is excited about what the future holds. After a long search that included actors like Ewan McGregor, Jared Leto, and Joaquin Phoenix, Marvel Studios found their Doctor Strange in Cumberbatch over a decade ago. His Doctor Strange seemed poised to become one of the new faces of the MCU after the trinity of Robert Doweny Jr., Chris Evans, and Chris Hemsworth seemingly stepped away. While none of that happened as Hemsworth stuck around, and now both Downey Jr. and Evans have returned, Doctor Strange has still become a fan-favorite character and is more popular than ever before.
