Benedict Wong hopes to begin filmingDoctor Strange 2by the end of the year. Additionally, Wong revealed that he will be inAvengers 4, though he could not divulge if he survived the events ofInfinity War. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige confirmed that the sequel was being developed back in June, but didn’t offer up any other details. Scott Derrickson directed the first film, but is unclear if he’ll return for the sequel, though he has been teasing his involvement on social media.
Benedict Wongappeared at the Fan Expo Vancouver over the weekend where he delivered theDoctor Strange 2update. We’re pretty much already at the end of the year, which means that filming will more than likely start within the next few weeks or early next year, if Wong has his information correct. This is pretty big news, and at the very least, proves thatDoctor Strange 2 is happening sooner, rather than later. Hopefully an announcement will be made in the coming weeks giving away some more information.
Doctor Strange 2 was reportedly going to begin filming in the spring, but may have gotten bumped up due to the fact thatGuardians of the Galaxy 3has been put on hold indefinitely. That leaves a pretty big hole in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which could partly be filled with aDoctor Strangesequel. While the sequel has been confirmed by Kevin Feige, Benedict Cumberbatch has played coy when asked about the movie. It has been rumored that the actor is about to get a significant pay raise to hope on boardDoctor Strange 2.
Doctor Steven Strange played a pretty large part inInfinity Warand many believe that he will have a pretty big part to play inAvengers 4, though that has yet to be confirmed at this time. Strange is the only one who has seen the future and knows how everything will work out, after making sure that Thanos let Tony Stark live after trading the Time Stone.Avengers 4is a giant mystery, so it will be very interesting to finally get a peek at what Strange saw in the future, which all depends on if the Avengers can stop Thanos this time around.
Doctor Strangecame out in 2016 and was a prettybig success at the box office, earning $677.7 million worldwide. MCU fans have been waiting for any news about the sequel, so Benedict Wong’s comments will certainly raise some excitement amongst said fans.
