#Benedict Cumberbatch Confirms Potentially Extensive Doctor Strange 2 Reshoots

The hosts couldn’t resist asking about updates on the latest in the Doctor Strange saga, and Cumberbatch dutifully teased his excitement, and that they should “expect extraordinary things.” The “Sherlock” actor also divulged that reshoots would be going on in the next couple of months, but the May release date remains the same.

So far, there are no planned changes to the Spring 2022 release date, but two months’ worth of reshoots is certainly enough to qualify as “extensive.” Not much is known about the new sequel so far, but we know that Raimi will bring his usual energy to the production, tag-teaming with co-writer Michael Waldron to bring the hero picture back to Raimi’s horror roots. /Film had already reported good tidings from the project this year, as “WandaVision’s” Wanda Maximoff (played by Elizabeth Olsen) praises the “Army of Darkness” director’s creative process. Heck, even Benedict Wong called the sequel, “Doctor Strange and the Multi-Schedule,” a testament to the shenanigans Raimi and Co. pulled to keep the spoiler hounds at bay. Wong will be reprising his role in the new film, as well as Rachel McAdams and Chiwetel Ejiofor in supporting roles.

“Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness” should arrive in theaters on May 6, 2022.
