Benedict Cumberbatch to Play Doctor Strange in Next ‘Spider-Man’ Movie Benedict Cumberba
Benedict Cumberbatch to Play Doctor Strange in Next ‘Spider-Man’ Movie Benedict Cumberbatch will cast spells — not webs — as Doctor Strange in the next “Spider-Man” movie with Tom Holland, Variety has confirmed.Cumberbatch’s casting marks the third major crossover between the films produced by Disney’s Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures’ “Spider-Man” movies with Holland, after Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark appeared in 2017’s “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” and Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury appeared in 2019’s “Spider-Man: Far From Home.”Last year, after the billion-dollar success of “Far From Home,” Sony and Disney nearly broke up their unprecedented agreement to share the Spider-Man character within the MCU. Their new deal allows for a third Spider-Man film to be produced by Marvel Studios, and for Holland’s web-slinger to appear in another Marvel Studios movie for Disney.After that, however, it’s unclear if Sony and Disney’s partnership will continue. But Sony is still moving full steam ahead with movies drawn from the Spider-Man universe of comics, including “Morbius” with Jared Leto and “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” with Tom Hardy. To date, Holland’s Spidey has only appeared in MCU movies. But if Doctor Strange introduces the possibility of multiple universes to Holland’s Spider-Man films, it could allow for the character to exist in future Sony movies that aren’t produced by Marvel Studios. The third “Spider-Man” movie is scheduled to open in theaters on Dec. 17, 2021; “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is set to open on March 25, 2022. -- source link
