Marvel recently dropped the official cast list, confirming 27 stars. But one glaring absence has caught everyone’s attention: Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange. His name isn’t on the announcement, leaving fans guessing about his role in the film.
Cumberbatch himself has been giving mixed signals. He first confirmed he’d appear in Doomsday, then mentioned that script changes had shifted his character to Avengers: Secret Wars. Most recently, in an interview with Business Insider, he clarified, “I am in that one,” confirming he will appear in Doomsday — even if Marvel hasn’t officially listed him yet.
