With things in motion on the Marvel Studios slate, actor Benedict Cumberbatch is once again talking about his role in the franchise as Doctor Strange.
He continued. “As an actor, I love playing him. He’s great fun. I mean, I was going to play him, and then I couldn’t because I’d already booked a Hamlet and that was happening, and they drifted away. And then they drifted very quickly back to me, which is nice. And they shifted the whole kind of factory line to to to my schedule. And it’s been a pretty lovely relationship with that company ever since.” He added that he’s looking forward to his Marvel Cinematic Universe future, confirming he’ll be returning as Doctor Strange for the Avengers 5 shoot: “I’m very much looking forward to Avengers next year; [they’re] cooking up a storm.”
