Vin Diesel and Benedict Cumberbatch have more in common than I think anyone anticipated. They both can’t keep their mouths shut about Avengers: Infinity War.
The rumor mill has already been lit afire with suggestions that Dr. Strange will have an appearance in the up and coming movie Thor: Ragnarok. If this is true, it will be Dr. Strange’s first cross over into the MCU, but come to find out, it looks like he is slated for his second appearance already.
During his interview with Empire Magazine and speaking about his future playing the astute Stephen Vincent Strange, Cumberbatch made some interesting statements that are sure to get everyone excited in the near future. He spoke about how much of a “logistical challenge of aligning his schedule with those of Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bethany.
All of these people are obviously the starting line up of The Avengers. As it all comes together in your mind, the only obvious answer is he is speaking about Avengers: Infinity War. After all, Dr. Strange does possess the Eye of Agamotto, which in turn is a Infinity Stone. And come to find out, there is this big bad purple dude actually looking for all these Infinity Stones… If you didn’t know – his name may or may not be Thanos.
To see someone like Dr. Strange get caught up in not only a group like The Avengers, but a group like the Guardians of the Galaxy? That is pretty friggin’ sweet. Marvel has done an amazing job thus far layering not only characters into one another, but whole universes upon one another.
Doctor Strange opens in theaters November 4th, 2016.
