Benedict Cumberbatch made an intriguing statement during his appearance at the JW3 Speaker Series. He mentioned, "There are some Marvel capers in the making next year." The nature of these projects remains uncertain, leaving fans speculating whether Cumberbatch was referring to a standalone sequel for his character, Doctor Strange, or a potential appearance in another Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film, such as the delayed Avengers: The Kang Dynasty.

Cumberbatch first portrayed the brilliant Dr. Stephen Strange in the 2016 film `Doctor Strange,`  which served as an introduction to the mystical realms of the MCU. Since then, he has reprised the role in several other films, including `Avengers: Infinity War,` `Avengers: Endgame,` `Thor: Ragnarok,` `Spider-Man: No Way Home,` and the upcoming `Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.`
