Benedict Cumberbatch passed on playing a Marvel villain before joining the MCU as DoctorStrange:
✖ Benedict Cumberbatch doubles up as a villainous variant of Stephen Strange in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but the Marvel star nearly entered the MCU as another villain: Malekiththe Accursed. The role of the Dark Elves leader in 2013's Thor sequel The Dark World ultimately went to Doctor Who actor Christopher Eccleston after Cumberbatch, fresh off his role as the villain Khan in Star Trek: Into Darkness, decided to"hold out for something a bit more juicy.
A Marvel role"just went away" until something juicier came along: an arrogant surgeon who wields magic as a Master of the Mystic Arts after a fateful car accident robs him of the use of his hands. In the definitive history book The Story of Marvel Studios: The Making of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said Cumberbatch was a"top choice" for a part in the MCU. After Joaquin Phoenix exited negotiations to lead Doctor Strange in 2014, a reported short list included Cumberbatch, future Venom actor Tom Hardy, and future Morbius actor Jared Leto.
