This iconic Marvel hero was supposed to appear in Doctor Strange 2!

In May 2022, audiences around the world discovered Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, where Benedict Cumberbatch returned to the role of the Marvel hero and crossed the hallucinatory and dangerous reality of the multiverse to face the adversary. unexpected. A feature film that could have featured an incredible cameo, but which also allowed us to check out… a brief appearance by Spider-Man!

In Recent interview with ScarletWitchUpdatesCostume designer Graham Churchyard reveals that Spider-Man (Tom Holland) was supposed to make a quick cameo in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Nothing makes more sense at the time of writing, as the Doctor Strange sequel was originally supposed to come out before Spider-Man: No Way Home. But the COVID was there…

The global pandemic has indeed derailed the originally planned plans for this part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The release dates of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Spider-Man: No Way Home had to be changed, which required a somewhat urgent script rewrite.

Finally, Tom Holland is not in Doctor Strange 2. And what was planned for Spider-Man: No Way Home, namely in the credits of Doctor Strange, and the existence of the character of America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) did not happen anymore. Indeed, if Benedict Cumberbatch is indeed present, the one with the ability to open access to the multiverse is not there, the audience instead finds Ned Lee (Jacob Batalon), Peter Parker’s best friend. Do you tell me?

It seems that nothing, not even a pandemic, can stop the progress of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The next step in the MCU: The Marvels feature film, in theaters November 8.
