Benedict Cumberbatch has seemingly confirmed that Doctor Strange will indeed be in the next Avengers movie – and that filming begins next year.

In a new interview with Netflix, the actor looks back on his most iconic roles. “The joy of playing [Doctor Strange] is immense, but it also means I can help platform stories and writing and less commercial fare into being so he’s a gift in many, many ways in my life,” Cumberbatch says before explaining that he almost had to give up the role initially due to scheduling conflicts.
