Benedict Cumberbatch reveals Doctor Strange's pivotal role in future MCU installments. While skipping Avengers: Doomsday, the character will be "quite central" to the sequel, Avengers: Secret Wars, according to Cumberbatch's interview with Variety. He even let slip that a third standalone Doctor Strange film is in the works.

Cumberbatch expressed excitement about the future of the character, highlighting the vast potential for exploration within the rich comic lore. He emphasized Doctor Strange's complex and contradictory nature, providing ample material for future storylines. The actor further stated that Marvel is open to collaborating on the direction of the next film, including the choice of writer and director.

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.
