Last week, Benedict Cumberbatch made the bold statement that Dr. Strange will not appear in Avengers: Doomsday—The just to walk that and admit that yes, we will see the supreme sorcerero in that movie, instead of having to wait Avengers: secret wars. His Avengers cohort, Chris Evans, former Captain America, has picked up the thread and shown it by insisting that his time in the Marvel cinematographic universe is made, finished, finished.
This last statement, made in A piece of esquire (Through the Hollywood Reporter) Profileing the current captain America, Anthony Mackie, who has Captain America: Brave New World Leaving on February 14, the territory of broken record enters at this time.
