Benedict Cumberbatch has resolved the mystery of whether Doctor Strange will be joining the cast of Avengers: Doomsday. As its filming window gets closer, the film’s roster keeps growing bigger. Now,

Even before San Diego Comic-Con’s surprise news that Robert Downey Jr. was back in the MCU as Doctor Doom, we’d heard rumblings that Marvel Studios was trying to bring back a few of its first Avengers for another team-up. Now, it might be one step closer.

Chris Evans is coming back to the MCU and is set to return for "Avengers: Doomsday" opposite Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom.

So it remains unclear if Evans, who starred as Captain America Steve Rogers and made brief appearances as that character in several MCU films, will reprise that role or take on a new one in "Avengers: Doomsday," due in theaters in May 2026.

He was a cornerstone of the Marvel Cinematic Universe before retiring the role of Captain America with 'Avengers: Endgame.'

Chris Evans is set to star opposite Robert Downey Jr. in Marvel's "Avengers: Doomsday," according to reports. But will he be playing Captain America?

Benedict Cumberbatch is far from done with playing Doctor Strange. The actor, who is at the Red Sea Film Festival with "We Live in Time" - produced by his company SunnyMarch - called the superhero a "complex man motivated by a need to control everything at any cost.

The British star discussed his career, from 'Sherlock' and 'The Imitation Game' to working on Wes Anderson films, and more during a Red Sea Film Festival event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
