Avengers: Infinity War boasted a massive ensemble cast and Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange ended up with a pretty significant role in the Marvel Studios movie. While he ended up turning to dust, you'd best believe he'll have some sort of role to play in the follow-up but there's one thing the actor wishes he could go back and change!
It's not something his character did or even a moment he wishes he'd acted a little differently in; instead, Cumberbatch (who may start shooting Doctor Strange 2 as soon as next year if recent reports are to be believed) regrets not sneaking into a screening to enjoy the shocked reactions of fans.
"This is my biggest regret of that whole time is that I didn’t sneak in to see people’s reaction. And I wish I had. I really do. I really wish I’d done that. And I think it was such a long press tour, by the time my family got me home I was well and truly on holiday and with them. Or was I working? Geez, I can’t even remember anymore. I think I had a tiny break and then I was riding into doing a TV drama about Brexit.
"But yeah, it’s my biggest regret of that whole experience. And there aren’t that many regrets, because it was a wild ride. I mean, just selling that movie by not being able to say anything. But the places we got to go – and it was very cool. I know other people who did it. I think Tom Holland did it. I know Mark Ruffalo took hischildren, because he then FaceTimed us from the cinema."
While Cumberbatch will probably get the opportunity to sneak into a screening of Avengers 4, there more than likely won't be a moment as shocking as Doctor Strange being dusted with the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes so he definitely missed out! Regardless, his future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is looking bright, so that must be some sort of consolation.
