SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME Won't Feature A Doctor Strange Cameo; Will Have More Humor
A couple of separate interviews have provided us with some minor, but interesting updates on Spider-Man: Far From Home. Find out what Kevin Feige and editor Dan Lebental had to say about the sequel here...
We know that Spider-Man: Far From Home will begin "minutes" after the events of Avengers 4, and at least some of the story has been confirmed to take place in London.
As tenuously connected to Doctor Strange as those things may be, they did lead to some speculation that The Sorcerer Supreme might show his face in the Spidey sequel.
Well, he won't.
Although Kevin Feige usually plays coy when asked about specific characters potentially appearing in The MCU, on this occasion he straight-up confirmed that we will not be seeing a Doctor Strange cameo in Far From Home.
Here's the Marvel head honcho's exchange with /Film:
Peter: I’m wondering ’cause London there is a sanctum there. Is Doctor Strange gonna be the one in this one?
Kevin: No. Peter: No?
Kevin: I could be coy about it but no.
Peter: (shocked that he gave a direct response) Okay.
Kevin: I don’t wanna get people excited. But Benedict and Holland have liked the idea of working together.
In a separate interview with THR, the film's editor Dan Lebental - who also worked on Ant-Man and The Wasp - was asked if he could share anything on the follow-up to Spider-Man: Homecoming. Lebantal didn't say much, but he did reveal that the sequel would be "both grander in scale and even funnier than the last one."
Spider-Man: Far From Home swings into theaters exactly a year from now on July 5, 2019.
