Just when you thought things couldn't get any grander on the Marvel side of things, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures' upcoming project, the untitled Spider-Man 3 starring Tom Holland just added a new cast member and it's none other than Doctor Strange himself Benedict Cumberbatch.
An exclusive scoop from The Hollywood Reporter says that Cumberbatch will play a huge role in the film and the Master of the Mystic Arts will serve as Peter Parker's new guide following the tragic yet heroic demise of his former mentor Tony Stark aka Iron Man. Now, it's quite obvious that their partnership has something to do with the Marvel Multiverse which is rumored to be explored in the Disney+ series WandaVision. Still, it's both interesting and intriguing why Strange would choose to mentor Spider-Man. Does it mean Spidey will learn a few magic tricks in the film? Who knows?
At this point, we still know very little about the upcoming MCU offering but it doesn't take a genius to actually read between the lines and guess where the film's direction is headed. I don't know about you but I can confidently say that there's no more doubt that the upcoming Spidey sequel will indeed be diving real deep into the Marvel Multiverse and a huge crossover event may be upon us. With one explosive revelation after the other, it leaves you asking, what other stuff about Spider-Man 3 will they drop in the future? Things are looking really exciting!
The yet-to-be-titled Spider-Man 3 is set to begin filming next week.
