The recently released Marvel film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, has been getting a positive response. It had a world-wide release recently, and fans of the Marvel comics are thronging to see this new version which has Benedict Cumberbatch playing the central role.

However, before the release, many of the Marvel fans were excited and believed that Tom Cruise is playing a special part in the film and will be seen as a variant of Iron Man called Superior Iron Man. And recently a report on hindustantimes had Cumberbatch himself speaking about this. We take reference from that story for our write up here.

In a recent interview with IndianExpress.com, Benedict was asked if Tom is in the film and he responded, “Tom Cruise? Yeah, he is in every scene you haven’t seen in the trailer. It is the biggest kept secret.” Now whether the response is serious or in jest is anybody’s guess.

In the interview, Benedict also addressed the fan theories around the film and said the film truly belongs to the fans. “I try not to react or go to the internet but I, in person have had some very pleasant times with an amazing amount of very enthusiastic people at various gatherings. You know, this franchise belongs so much more to them (fans) than it does to us. So, in a way, that is its own thing. But I love the idea that people are so excited to see this film. And it’s got great pre-sales and we are so well supported in this amazing, sort of long-form serial storytelling that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is. So I am very grateful for that,” he added.

Have you watched the film? Do you think Benedict answered right?
