Not even Doctor Strange could have foreseen this twist. During Marvel Studios\u2019 San Diego Comic-Con panel last year, the bombshell announcement came that Robert Downey Jr.<\/strong><\/a> would be making his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not as the hero Tony Stark, but as the villain Victor von Doom inAvengers: Doomsday<\/em><\/strong><\/a> and Avengers: Secret Wars<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The news shocked fans and left Downey\u2019s former co-star, Benedict Cumberbatch<\/strong><\/a>, just as floored. In a recently interview with Variety<\/a>, Cumberbatch revealed he was watching the announcement live when the revelation hit. <\/p>\n

His immediate reaction was a text to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige: \u201cWhat the f\u2014?\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, Cumberbatch was quick to clarify: \u201cAnd then quickly added, \u2018Good what-the-f\u2014.\u2019 I mean, good what-the-f\u2014.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cumberbatch has had an wild journey in the MCU since debuting as Stephen Strange in 2016\u2019s Doctor Strange<\/em>. After pivotal roles in Thor: Ragnarok<\/em>, Avengers: Infinity War<\/em>, Endgame<\/em>, Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/em>, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness<\/em>, fans expected Strange to have a significant role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday<\/em>. <\/p>\n

But according to Cumberbatch, plans have shifted. He said: \u201cStrange is taking a bit of a hiatus during Doomsday<\/em>,\u201d However, he teased that the Sorcerer Supreme will return in Secret Wars<\/em>, where he\u2019ll play a \u201cquite central\u201d role in the climactic conclusion to Marvel\u2019s Multiverse Saga.<\/p>\n

Cumberbatch shared his excitement saying: \u201cI\u2019m really excited not only to work with the Russo brothers again but also to have Robert Downey Jr. returning as Doctor Doom. I think there\u2019s going to be some really cool developments ahead, and I\u2019m excited to see what happens next.\u201d<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see how Strange is utilized in Secret Wars. In theSecret Wars<\/em> storyline from 2015, Strange served as the Sheriff of Agamotto and right-hand man to God Emperor Doom. We just don\u2019t know if the film follow this narrative.<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday<\/em> is set to be released in May 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars<\/em> scheduled to arrive in May 2027. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
