Benedict Cumberbatch, the acclaimed actor behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Doctor Strange, has revealed that his iconic character will not be part of the upcoming blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday. However, fans can look forward to seeing Doctor Strange take on a "central role" in the sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars.
In an interview with Variety, Cumberbatch inadvertently let slip this major spoiler, humorously exclaiming "f\*\*k it" before delving deeper into his character's future. He teased that Doctor Strange "is quite central to where things might go," hinting at a significant narrative arc. Moreover, Cumberbatch confirmed the development of a third standalone Doctor Strange film, expressing excitement about the creative discussions regarding its direction. "They are very open to discussing where we go next," he shared, emphasizing the potential to explore different aspects of the comic lore to further develop Strange's complex and evolving character.

Regarding his absence from Avengers: Doomsday, Cumberbatch explained that it stems from "the character not aligning with this part of the story." This next installment of the Avengers saga will feature Robert Downey Jr. reprising his role, this time as Doctor Doom, with rumors suggesting Chris Evans might also return. The film, helmed by former Avengers directors the Russo Brothers, will continue to explore the multiverse theme, with Hayley Atwell's Agent Carter reportedly set to make an appearance.
Looking ahead, Phase 6 of the MCU will kick off with The Fantastic Four: First Steps this July. Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for release on May 1, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027.
