Summary
The line-up forAvengers 5has gotten its first returningMarvel Cinematic Universehero as a Marvel Studios veteran actor reveals when the upcoming movie will film. As the Multiverse Saga continues forward, the MCU is getting closer to its firstAvengersmovie sinceAvengers: Endgame. While reportedly temporarilytitledAvengers 5, the Phase 6 installment will finally mark the beginning of the end for Marvel’s multiverse storyline.
During a recent edition ofStill Watching Netflix,Doctor Strangeactor Benedict Cumberbatch looked back on playing the powerful sorcerer. The British actor dropped an exciting update aboutAvengers 5in the middle of his answer as he brought up how he will be shooting the Phase 6 movie in 2025, sharing the following:
This is Doctor Strange. He’s a Marvel character and, well, I’ll be really honest about it, the joy of playing him is immense. But also the joy of playing him means I can help create and platform stories and writing and less commercial fare into being. He’s a gift in many, many ways in my life as a producer, as an actor. I love playing him. He’s great fun.I’m very much looking forward to Avengers next year, which is cooking up a storm.
10 MCU Phase 5 Questions That Need To Be Answered In Avengers 5 (Or Before)
Avengers: Kang Dynasty is still a couple of years away from release, but it is already expected to answer some of MCU’s Multiverse Saga’s mysteries.
How Doctor Strange Can Fit Into Avengers 5
While time will tell who else will be part of theAvengers 5cast, it makes perfect sense for Doctor Strange to be involved. Even though Stephen Strange hasn’t been seen since the end ofDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, the Phase 4 film was crucial for not justDoctor Strange in the MCUbut the Multiverse Saga as a whole. Cumberbatch’s last MCU movie gave the Marvel sorcerer to get a proper taste of the multiverse concept, allowing the Avenger to get a better understanding of alternative realities.
SinceAvengers 5will likely address the new status quo for the team, Doctor Strange will be a major resource as the heroes begin to tackle the safety of the multiverse. Whether or not the storyline is progressing forward with Kang remains to be seen, but if he ends up being back (played by whoever takes over afterJonathan Majors was fired), Doctor Strange has a chance to finally engage with the Multiverse Saga’s big bad. It’s possible that betweenDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessandAvengers 5, Doctor Strange has explored the multiverse even further.
TheAvengers 5filming in 2025 makes a lot of sense, especially asDeadpool & Wolverinedirector Shawn Levyis being eyed to helm the Phase 6 film. If Levy ends up signing on forAvengers 5, it is more than likely that more actors will start sharing updates on whether they are involved with the movie. While it has taken quite some time, it appearsAvengers 5is finally on the right track to becoming a reality.
