Benedict Cumberbatch recently sat down with BBC Radio 1 to discuss his titular role in Marvel‘s latest film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Sorcerer Supreme reveals that Marvel initially recruited him for a different part of the universe. He was first offered the role of the villain Malekith in the 2013 Thor sequel, The Dark World. The surgeon turned sorcerer ultimately passed on the role which later led to him becoming Doctor Strange. Cumberbatch breaks down how this happened in the interview recalling, “[The Doctor Strange role] happened as an idea muted after, funnily enough, another little dance I did for another character in the MCU, a very brief character. I was bold enough to say, ‘I’m really flattered to be invited to the party, but I’d rather hold out for somethi...

The decade-long journey had the production and cast feeling emotional as it would be both James Gunn’s last film ever and Dave Bautista‘s last time playing Drax the Destroyer. “Haven’t found the words yet,” Dave Bautista wrote on social media. “It ended so suddenly and I was on to my next film before I could process it all. End of a journey that changed my life.” “You know, the journey’s come full circle and I’m ready to kind of step aside and wrap it up. I didn’t think my leaving was going to be news because I figured everybody assumed it,” Bautista told Ellen Degeneres last summer. “T...

Josh Brolin has finally revealed his own reaction to his character Gurney Halleck’s odd and sudden exit from Dune, and confirmed that he’ll be returning for the sequel. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview, Brolin said he was just as surprised about Gurney’s sudden disappearance as many other viewers. “When I watched it, I was like, ‘Where did I go?’ I think that was the first reaction. ‘That’s it?’ But that was all selfish.” He went on to explain that it took him some time to understand why his character was sent off that way, but that he trusts director Denis Villeneuve‘s creative process. “I can’t answer that. I don’t know. I mean, I think the book suggests that, but the book suggests a lot of things,” Brolin continued. “The book suggests his singing, and...

Elizabeth Olsen has responded to the criticism made about Marvel films, stating that the comments speak badly of the crew more than anything. In a recent interview with The Independent, the actress, who reprises her role as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, shared that the crew who work on Marvel movies are also the same people who work on award-winning films. “I’m not saying we’re making indie art films, but I just think it takes away from our crew, which bugs me,” Olsen said. “These are some of the most amazing set designers, costume designers, camera operators – I feel diminishing them with that kind of criticism takes away from all the people who do award-winning films, that also work on these projects.” She added that from the perspective of ...
