Avengers 5 update? Benedict Cumberbatch says he's 'looking forward' to new movie 'next year'

Benedict Cumberbatch has seemingly given an update on 'Avengers 5,' saying, 'I'm very much looking forward to 'Avengers' next year.'

While shooting a career retrospective interview for Netflix in support of his most recent series Eric, Cumberbatch mentioned, "I'm very much looking forward to Avengers next year, which is cooking up a storm." The original plan was to spin out Majors' Kang, first introduced in Loki season 2 and followed by a more prominent role in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, as the new Thanos-level villain working menacingly behind the scenes. Cumberbatch was last seen as Doctor Strange in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, which saw a lot of magical multiverse tampering that caused Spidey villains from all different dimensions to pop into the reality of Holland's Peter Parker.
