SPIDER - MAN 3 FILM

 

Doctor Strange to star in 'Spider-Man 3' film. But, could this be the latest Marvel crossover? 

Benedict Cumberbatch is set to put on the cloak of levitation once again and reprise his role as Doctor Strange, in the latest Spider-Man film instalment, starring Tom Holland, as stated by the Hollywood Reporter.

The film puts Cumberbatch in the mentor role that was previously occupied by Robert Downey Jr, who played Tony Stark / Iron Man in Spider-Man : Homecoming, and by Samuel L Jackson in Spider-Man : Far From Home, the latter reprising the character of Nick Fury.

This Spider-Man project already has some unexpected ties going for it as it is bringing back Jamie Foxx as Electro, the actor-character combo last seen in 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which featured Andrew Garfield as the web-slinging hero.

Having Strange as part of Spider-Man may help explain the returning Electro. Cumberbatch is about to begin shooting Doctor Strange sequel Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, which will explore alternative realities and some speculate therein lies the cross-section.

Spider-Man 3 is due to begin shooting in Atlanta later in October while Multiverse of Madness is also due to begin shooting this month, although in London.

It is unclear when and where Cumberbatch will shoot his scenes.
