Benedict Cumberbatch confirmed that the idea of Dr Strange 3 excites him.
After the explosion of emotions and theories brought about by Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, it is only natural that Marvel fans are wondering what the next step will be for the franchise. And although there are still not many answers to so many questions, what is certain is that the film left more than one door open for new events that could change the course of the heroes.
In this sense, it could be said that the success of Doctor Strange 2 not only raised questions about whether the story would directly follow América Chávez, how the destruction of the Darkhold in the hands of Wanda Maximoff would affect it, or even what implications the return of the Fantastic Four would have for the future. In reality, these questions also pointed, as expected, to whether Benedict Cumberbatch would continue to embody the role of one of the most important heroes for the eponymous title: Stephen Strange in later projects of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Dr Strange, a crucial character for the multiverse
So far, it should be noted that the sorcerer supreme was one of the main heroes who restored order to the multiverse and, therefore, the franchise will not miss the opportunity in the future to give an unexpected turn to the events, as it did in Doctor Strange 2.
Although, it is also not known for sure what to expect about the introduction of a character like America and how this will affect the hero in question, the interesting thing is that, given the discoveries about Earth 616, there are still many facets of the character that we could go through. tall. So, of course, this is where even more expectations about the character arise.
And to top it off, the ending of Doctor Strange 2 sets up plenty of plot lines for Strange himself. For example, develops the Third Eye, which could affect his power level in unexpected ways when he is seen again in other installments. Or, as we mentioned, when Strange meets with Clea he confirms to her that he’s caused a raid and he’s obligated to fix it. In this way, all the events will surely have an important role for the future of Dr. Strange.
Statements by Benedict Cumberbatch
That said, Benedict Cumberbatch has spoken about his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Stephen Strange.
Of course, the actor has his respective history before the blockbuster of Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. By way of clarification, it should be mentioned that the actor made his solo debut with this character in 2016, and from that moment he became a key player in the MCU. On the other hand, he has also appeared in six films, while he had his respective participation in Spider-Man: No Way Home (released in 2021), which definitively seals his participation.
Although the concept of the Sorcerer Supreme takes on more form later in Doctor Strange 2, with the inclusion of the Illuminati, along with other versions of Strange, the film has many possible scenarios for the MCU going forward.
Benedict Cumberbatch was recently interviewed by The New Indian Express, where was asked about the possibility of his involvement in Doctor Strange 3. And this is what he said about it:
“I hope so. I’d love to do another one. Doctor Strange is such a complex character and there seems to be so much more to explore with him. He’s such a brilliant character and I still have such a great time playing him.”.
So far, it should be considered that the outcome of Dr Strange in the Multiverse of Madness shows a card that says “Doctor Strange will return”which means that his return is imminent and that we may see Cumberbatch again in this role. However, what is not known is how the order of these appearances will be, whether in a separate installment or in its own title, such as Dr Strange 3. Although it would not be surprising if it appeared in another project because the possible sequel still Missing a few years to go out on the big screen.
Regardless of the possibilities for the Marvel feature film, Cumberbatch seems quite excited about the idea. And it is not for less, since the role of Strange is an extremely complex character and that he has many reliefs, in addition to the fact that he has pending accounts after the incursion.
In fact, going back a bit Clea’s inclusion in Dr Strange 2, a character who has an important history in the comics (and is now played by a great actress), it is most likely not a random participation that brings together many of the characters that we have seen both in comics and in the MCU respectively. On the contrary, it could be that she has a mission for the future, in conjunction with Dr Strange in the next project. Although, of course, there is still a lot of time to know if the suspicions are true in Dr Strange 3.
