RUMOR: Benedict Cumberbatch Will Have A DOCTOR STRANGE Stand-In For His AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR Scenes
There's a rumor doing the rounds that Benedict Cumberbatch will require a stand-in for his scenes as Doctor Strange in Marvel's Avengers: Infinity War due to a scheduling conflict. Click on for more...
It seems Benedict Cumbernatch won't actually be on hand to film his Doctor Strange scenes for Avengers: Infinity War, and will require a stand-in until he can reshoot his close-ups and record his dialogue at a later date.
The Sherlock star is also playing Thomas Edison in The Current War, which is shooting in London at the moment and is expected to overlap with production on Marvel's epic, creating a scheduling conflict. Apparently, Broadway actor Aaron Lazar has been hired as the stand-in.
Though it's best to treat this as a rumor for the time being, this report comes from The UK's Daily Mail, who has been on point when it comes to Marvel-related scoops in the past. Assuming it is on the level, does this suggest that Doctor Strange won't have a very big role in Avengers: Infinity War?
