Cumberbatch expressed excitement about the future of the character, highlighting the vast potential for exploration within the rich comic lore.

Doctor Strange's absence from Avengers: Doomsday is attributed to a narrative incompatibility. This next Avengers film features Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and reportedly Chris Evans, although plot details remain scarce. The Russo Brothers are directing, and the film is expected to continue the multiverse storyline, potentially including Hayley Atwell's Agent Carter.
Phase 6 of the MCU begins with The Fantastic Four: First Steps this July. Avengers: Doomsday is slated for May 1, 2026, followed by Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027.
