DOCTOR STRANGE Star Benedict Cumberbatch Arrives On The Set Of AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR

The Doctor is in! Despite reports that a body double would be shooting most of Benedict Cumberbatch's Avengers: Infinity War scenes as Stephen Strange, the actor has reportedly arrived in Atlanta!

Earlier this year, we heard that a stand-in would be used for Benedict Cumberbatch's Avengers: Infinity War due to his busy schedule. The actor would later debunk those by assuring fans that the Sorcerer Supreme would be on hand to battle Thanos, and now a Tweet from his movement coach, Jay Funk, seemingly confirms that Cumberbatch has reported to the Atlanta set and is now ready for action.

Interestingly, Funk also mentions a reunion, so perhaps Doctor Strange is hanging out with Thor or Wong again! We'll just have to wait and see, but it's definitely good to know that the actor is there.

Considering the fact Stephen Strange has an Infinity Stone around his neck, he'll no doubt play a pivotal role in Avengers: Infinity War. Exactly what that will entail remains to be seen, but with Comic-Con right around the corner, we'll hopefully learn more about the highly anticipated release very soon.

I loved dr strange, underappreciated film

@BillyCipher -

That's what happens when you're used to a series of consecutive success.

jj2112 - 6/16/2017, 3:15 AM

@BillyCipher - Hmm as much as I love other MCU films, this one and GOTG2 were a letdown. But I know I'm in the minority here.

Re1Agent - 6/16/2017, 3:26 AM

@jj2112 - no your not, while I liked them overall, They are up there with all the other mcu films that were mediocre. They really need to start focusing on character, rather than scaled up gimmicky storylines.

@Singularity1 -

So... who were you again, before getting banned?

Stealthduck - 6/16/2017, 3:47 AM

@Singularity1 - I agree, and I don't think you are being argumentative, just stating your thoughts. There have been some MCU films which I personally deem 'average', but that's based on the excellent MCU films. Iron Man 2 and Ant-Man are examples for me, and An-Man is still very re-watchable, I've seen it three times, and will again.
Don't piss off Grex, you'll never get rid of the bugger! He knows things......

@Stealthduck -

Only because you're not very good at hiding them.

Yesterday I've seen Wonder Woman, it wasn't bad, but it is a very overrated movie
