Benedict Cumberbatch admits he didn’t believe Kevin Feige’s prediction at first.

Fans are already getting quite pumped up for Doctor Strange In the Multiverse of Madness but a big part of that excitement is likely because of the way the film will follow in the footsteps of the massive hit that was Spider-Man: No Way Home. During the post-pandemic era nobody was really sure if No Way Home would be quite the massive hit that it was, except perhaps Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige, who apparently saw the movie as a harbinger of the future of the theatrical experience.

Benedict Cumberbatch, who appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home and stars in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness recently revealed to Empire that prior to the release of Spider-Man Kevin Feige said the film would reveal the ”future of cinema.” Cumberbatch admits he didn’t really believe it then, but he does now. The actor explains…

“I think when Kevin Feige first said, ‘We’ll know about the future of cinema, or the cinemagoing experience, after this film,’ I was like, ‘OK, everyone’s drinking too much of the Kool-Aid around here.’ My ignorance was showed up.” From the looks of things, Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness could be just as colossal.”
