Benedict Cumberbatch says he has "more than a sense" of what the future holds for Doctor Strange in the MCU: "He's coming. At some point. Yeah, you definitely will [see him again]."
Benedict, you literally said a while ago exactly in what movie we'll see you next.

That's Cumberbatch and Marvel Studios for you.
havewelost63882025-11-24 18:32
He said that because he got in trouble.
ipodblocks3602025-11-24 18:35
I mean maybe but it was after he was wrong about not being in Doomsday so I think he mostly just did it to be honest.
havewelost63882025-11-24 18:36
He also might have been thinking about Kang Dynasty, before all the changes.
ipodblocks3602025-11-24 18:37
He was not. Well I don't think he was anyway.

Thinking about him, I thought about what battle could have been the PEAK in Doomsday: RDJ's Dr. Doom, Dr. Strange, Wanda VS RDJ's Iron Man, Tobey's Spider-Man, Jackman's Wolverine
clocktickmakemecrazy2025-11-24 17:35
Scarlett Witch vs Iron Man would be pretty straightforward win for Wanda unless Tony develops a 'Wanda-Buster🤣' suit, seeing the way she annihilates the Ultron-bots
Herogeen2025-11-24 17:38
No, I think Iron Man would fight Dr. Doom, considering they would definitely have a lot in common in Doomsday and Secret Wars.
Jet-Let46062025-11-24 18:03
The fuck is Wolverine and his little knife hands and Tobey-Man with his back back problems going to do against Dr Strange and Wanda?
FictionFantom2025-11-24 18:17
Wolverine wears an Infinity Gauntlet, Tobey becomes Cosmic Spider-Man, and this variant Iron Man developed an AI that learned sorcery.
They might still lose but they’d put up enough of a fight to last a couple minutes on screen at least.
nakiva2025-11-25 07:43
Younger Spiderman was already unexpectedly difficult for Dr.Strange in No Way Home, imagine what an older can do. (yes i know he was holding back, but still got tricked by underestimating him)
Wolverine on the other hand is the odd ball out. Maybe pure ferocity and experience? His healing factor maybe?

Ouch, that's a low blow but well deserved. Just rewatched Multiverse of Madness. Imagine being friend zoned not one universe but multiple.

Tbf that was his own fault for being such a dickbag, even before the whole superhero thing kept him busy.

Secret_Bet_21262025-11-25 10:18
Clea is better anyway. Hopefully he won't be a selfish prick & screw that up too.....Provided they let Strange have ANY lasting character growth and actually focus on any of his relationship with Clea.
BambooSound2025-11-25 12:54
Agree but I'm not into their casting choice so I wouldn't mind never seeing her again.
pedroktp2025-11-24 18:04
Please get better writers this time
douggold112025-11-24 18:10
Will the MCU ever give him the sorcerer supreme title? Weird that they haven’t yet.
Neptune282025-11-24 18:23
I thought Wong got it?
25803742025-11-24 18:34
You mean give it back?
PhaseSixer2025-11-25 01:11
Im glad they haven't it will make it all the sweeter when they do.
Leek52025-11-25 02:35
Wong is the sorcerer supreme. But to be honest. He's a comic relief character. So him as sorcerer supreme is kind of a joke. They should've made him powerful or they shouldn't have done it.
SUPREMACY_SAD_AI2025-11-25 15:46
wong is cool af wym
Leek52025-11-25 16:13
I like how you mention his coolness but not his power. Yes Wong is cool. But as sorcerer supreme he got his ass kicked. What’s the point of making him sorcerer supreme if they kept him weak.
kingwafflez2025-11-24 18:15
Of course he is. These movies are nothing but cameo porn now why wouldnt they utilize the dude who can weave in and out of the universes at any convenience.
ChildofObama2025-11-24 18:18
Probably the reports that Cumberbatch has creative control over the third movie and he’s now got a say in whose director are accurate.
-Darkslayer2025-11-24 18:24
I hope so. Sam Raimi was a disaster of a downgrade after how well Scott Derrickson did directing the original
ChildofObama2025-11-24 18:26
I rewatched Dr. Strange 1 earlier this year, and it’s better than I remembered, one of my favorite MCU films now.
I don’t hate MOM, it’s fun but yeah it felt like a movie checking boxes for the studio.
After the first one, Baron Mordo should’ve been the main villain
krlozdac2025-11-25 02:18
I feel it’s less on Raimi and more on the script being so heavily rewritten on the fly. If anything, the best aspects of MOM was the more Raimi flavored bits.
I think if they take their time and involve him from the jump they could come up with something much better realized.
He also famously didn't watch Wandavision and had no frame of reference for Wanda's character arc in that. Same with the other cowriter, Michael Waldron.
CaptHayfever2025-11-25 13:57
They didn't watch it because it wasn't available *to* watch yet; the show wasn't finished until the movie had already filmed.
PissNBiscuits2025-11-25 15:00
So, the creative team using Wanda as a primary character in a post-Wandavision point in the timeline wasn't given the opportunity to at least get the Cliff's Notes version in order to make sure they were staying aligned with the basic character developments? That sounds like incredibly poor planning on Kevin Feige/Marvel Studios' part then.
CaptHayfever2025-11-25 17:49
Part of the issue was increased secrecy because somebody in the studio had been leaking info to clickbait scoopers. And part of the issue was covid delays; WandaVision was *supposed* to have been finished long before MoM filmed, but it got shut down for several months, & then when they came back they had to rework the whole finale.
Secret_Bet_21262025-11-25 17:45
According to Waldron himself via a recent Reddit Q&A, he says he did watch Wandavision despite what folks online think.
Oh, in that case, that makes Wanda's character assassination so much worse.
krlozdac2025-11-25 19:18
True but it was still a super fraught experience from the get go because of the time pressure given that he was replacing someone, the fact that they had to prep and shoot fully during the height of COVID, and that originally they were meant to come out before NWH, which meant they had to rewrite it last second for that.
Again, I feel like as a director he delivered well under the circumstances. I would be interested to see him do it again under better conditions.
deemoorah2025-11-25 01:59
Eh, he already said about being asked by the studio more about his input for Dr Strange 3 back in January this year. The only new stuff from that rumor is Sam Mendes
Ordinary-Chain-80472025-11-24 18:22
We still gotta know where Steven’s doing besides stopping incursions we haven’t seen him in forever

Cap 4's post-credit scene was basically the same thing as the Batman vs Superman one: Imprisoned criminal genius vaguely taunts hero that something bad is coming.

I don't know how much they're taking from Hickman's Secret Wars, but he was a major player in that story.

Many felt this comment makes his writing of Wanda in MoM look even worse. Some had no issues with it.
