Benedict Cumberbatch
Cumberbatch was last seen in the sequel movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Possible upcoming MCU films Doctor Strange could appear in include the unannounced third Doctor Strange movie, Blade, Spider-Man 4, Fantastic Four, or possibly Avengers: The Kang Dynasty however that is unlikely due to the film’s theatrical release being delayed
Earlier this year, there was a rumor that Marvel Studios might be fast-tracking a third Doctor Strange film. The rumor suggested that another Doctor Strange film would release before Avengers: The Kang Dynasty with Scott Derrickson returning to direct.
