One of the most important actors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe confirmed that he would not be in the casting ofAvengers 5 : Doomsday.
One thing is certain: the turnover ofAvengers 5now subtitled Doomsdayseems to connect the superhero team to the dynamics of a toxic management start-up. As a reminder, the feature film, first entrusted to director Destiny Daniel Cretton, was to be called The Kang Dynastyand must have had the eponymous villain as new Thanos. But that was before his interpreter Jonathan Majors was returned, after being found guilty of assault and harassment of an ex-partner.
Some burn-outs of screenwriters later, the Russo brothers finally returned to the bar ofAvengers 5 et 6in the same way as Robert Downey Jr., who will this time embody Dr. Doom. A sacred brothel little helped by a multiverse left in the vegetative state, and a casting of new superheroes hitherto abandoned in their corner after a film or a Disney+ series (Shang-Chi, the eternal …). To everyone’s surprise, One of the most important actors in Marvel Cinematic Universe confirmed that his character would not be back immediately.
Avengers without Doctor Strange?
During an interview with VarietyBenedict Cumberbatch gave some news of his Doctor Strange, which we have not seen since his second solo film: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

-Leak voluntary to feed the promotion of the film or a small interview accident? Anything is possible. In any case, Cumberbatch explained thatAvengers 5 was deeply transformed between The Kang Dynasty (in which he had to appear) and Doomsdayand that his absence was explained because “The character was not aligned with this part of the story. »»
However, we must not forget thatAvengers 5 et 6 (titled Secret Wars) will be made in a row, as Infinity War et Endgame in their time. On this point, Benedict Cumberbatch assures that Doctor Strange will be present (and even very present) in Secret Wars. To resume his terms, “He will be central to the direction to which things could go. »»
Afterwards, we can also say that nothing is engraved in marble. Despite a shoot that should start in the spring of 2025, the scenarios of these two Avengers are far from over. We are therefore not immune to a change. For now, Avengers : Doomsday (but without Doctor Strange) should go out in French theaters April 29, 2026 in France. In the suite, Secret Warswill be released on May 5, 2027.
