Doctor Strange's Crucial Return in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY and SECRET WARS Detailed in New Rumor
It’s been a long stretch since Benedict Cumberbatch stepped into the role of Doctor Strange in the MCU. His last on-screen appearance was in the 2022 post-credits scene of Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, where he teamed up with Clea, played by Charlize Theron, to tackle a new dimensional crisis.
While his return was previously confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, the extent of his involvement has been a mystery, until now.
According to scooper Alex Perez over at The Cosmic Circus, Strange isn’t just dropping in for a cameo. He’s going to be a key player in what’s shaping up to be the most chaotic multiverse clash yet.
This new report claims that Cumberbatch’s arc in Avengers: Doomsday will directly pick up where we last saw him: leaving Earth to deal with an incursion ripping apart reality.
Perez said: “Exactly what he was asked to do. Fix an incursion… by any means necessary.”
This revelation gives us a better sense of what’s coming. Strange is likely going deep into multiversal territory, pushing his powers, and probably his morality, to the limit.
With the multiverse in shambles and chaos spilling into every corner of existence, the stage is set for Strange to become a central figure in the resolution of this saga.
If these rumors hold, the next two Avengers movies will not only bring back a ton of familiar faces, but will also spotlight one of the MCU’s most complex and mystical heroes at the heart of the story. Fans have waited years to see where Strange’s journey goes next, and if this is true, it’s going to be one wild, reality-bending ride!
