Benedict Cumberbatch discusses ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ and Doctor Strange’s future in the MCU
After the return of Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans to the MCU, Benedict Cumberbatch talks about Doctor Strange's future in the franchise.
Tom Holland is ready to put his ‘peter-tingle’ to work with ‘Spider-Man 4!’ The MCU film will premiere on July 24, 2026.
Tom Holland is ready to put his ‘peter-tingle’ to work with ‘Spider-Man 4!’ The fourth instalment of the MCU film series will premiere on July 24, 2026. The Destin Daniel Cretton helmed project will release shortly after ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ which is slated to hit theatres on May 1, 2026.
The release pattern is similar to how the third instalment of the film series released. ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ released two months after ‘Avengers: Endgame.’ Leveraging the success of ‘Endgame,’ the title did an impressive business at the box office racking up 1 billion dollars globally. Moreover, the title brought together the hit villains of the ‘Spider-Man’ series. Additionally, all three ‘Spider-Man’ heroes- Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield shared the screen. Given the precedence, it is expected that the untitled fourth project will also follow a similar business pattern.

Meanwhile, previously during a podcast appearance, Tom Holland talked about the film series and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He said, “One of the things is that, with Marvel, your film is a small cog in a large machine. That machine has got to keep running. You have to make sure you can fit into that timeline at the right time to benefit the bigger picture. That’s one of the challenges we’re facing. The time in which we need to get that done is a tall order but definitely achievable with the people we have working on it now.”
