Avengers: Infinity War writer Stephen McFeely has confirmed that Benedict Cumberbatch will reprise his role as Doctor Strange in the upcoming Marvel installment. A recent article in Empire magazine has confirmed the news as well. Cumberbatch stated that it’s been a
“logistical challenge of aligning my schedule with those of Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany. To get us all together will be quite something. That’s why this character is being introduced, to open up the next chapter.”
Joining Cumberbatch will be Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier, Chris Pratt and Vin Diesel from Guardians of the Galaxy.
