Which Actors Are Staying In The Marvel Universe, And Who Is Leaving?

Staying: Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange)

Dr. Stephen Strange may have been a late addition to the MCU, but the character was invaluable in helping defeat Thanos. Cumberbatch has appeared in four MCU films in total, starting with his solo film in 2016. After a slight cameo in Thor: Ragnarok, he was a pivotal player in both Avengers films.

Usually, Marvel characters get their own trilogy, and there’s a reason to believe that Benedict Cumberbatch signed a multi-picture deal like his co-stars. We’re likely to find out more details in the summer.
