Not too long ago, Chris Hemsworth was spotted alongside Tom Hiddleston on the Australian set of Thor: Ragnarok (which was standing in for New York City) seemingly on the hunt for Doctor Strange. Whether that was confirmation of the Sorcerer Supreme making an appearance or just director Taika Waititi having some fun is hard to say, but Benedict Cumberbatch may have cleared things up. 

Talking to Tom Hiddleston for a piece in Interview Magazine, here's what the Sherlock star had to say about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As you can see in the highlighted section, it seems as if Cumberbatch has confirmed that he'll also be part of the very impressive cast of Thor: Ragnarok


I felt it was all about the part rather than everything else. I've been to Comic-Con, and it's a very nice way to give back to the fans that drive these things. It was quite scary. I felt like Pink Floyd. It's just like, "Hello, hi," after the fans are all screaming. That side of it is just phenomenal, and it makes me giggle, and I don't know whether I'll get used to that. I can't wait to see how it expands the universe. I'm also part of your crew! It's an amazing cast of actors. And it's the most fun hard work you'll ever do, I think, as an actor. They really know how to treat you right. And the material is challenging, witty, and a lot of fun to do. Doctor Strange is a complex, funny, but exciting character. 

It's hard to say for sure if Cumberbatch is referring to Thor: Ragnarok or the MCU in general, but him talking about Doctor Strange expanding this world and then saying he's part of Hiddleston's "crew" could point to the former. We'll just have to wait and see for now, but share your thoughts below.

Marvel's legal team is going to hear about this. I guess we need a new Doctor Strange.

@Darkknight2149 - Breaking News: Benedict Cumberbatch found assassinated outside of New York City. Could this be the mysterious MCU Sniper?

@Yaf - no no no. Actually the LMD of Cumberbatch will be just fine while Marvel will hash some things out with the real Benedict

@Darkknight2149 - I wouldn't worry about that. This is reaching, even for Josh. Don't get me wrong, I would actually be surprised if Strange doesn't show up in Ragnarok, but to equate this particular quote to proof, or near enough, is just silly.

Well I'm OK with this only because I don't see this movie as a Thor movie. Its just an Avengers/Marvel movie, like CW wasn't a Cap movie.
