Benedict Cumberbatch teases Doctor Strange's next steps forward in the MCU beyond MultiverseOfMadness, stating he believes the movie 'sets him up for a really exciting future.'
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.
Doctor Strange 2 also features the return of Scarlet Witch and the introduction of America Chavez . But despite many moving pieces, its core character remains the MCU sorcerer. Doctor Strange's decision to help Peter Parker 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.
“I really can’t wait to see what the fan reaction is to this [Multiverse of Madness] and where it takes Strange…but I think it sets him up for a really exciting future.” Understandably, Cumberbatch cannot get into specifics about Multiverse of Madness. Since debuting in 2016's original Doctor Strange, the actor has mastered the art of promoting an MCU film without accidentally revealing any spoilers. But, Doctor Strange's impending return after his second film isn't surprising. Firstly, as an important player in Marvel Studios' multiversal narrative, it makes sense that he will continue to be a primary player in that arc.
As to how Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness sets up the character's future? It's difficult to say at this point. Aside from Marvel Studios being extremely careful about what to reveal, the events of the Raimi-directed film can also drastically change the MCU as a whole. Given the many Doctor Strange variants in Multiverse of Madness, Marvel Studios can get creative in mapping out what comes next for the sorcerer.
