Rumor: Doctor Strange To Appear On ‘Iron Fist,’ Plus Daredevil Wants In On ‘Civil War’
Later this year,Scott Derricksonwill be directingBenedict CumberbatchinDoctor Strangefor a 2016 film. If rumor proves true, however, we might see the character in another setting, too. There’s a report that Doctor Strange will appear on the Marvel Netflix seriesIron Fist.
Below, read more details about this potential Doctor Strange Iron Fist cameo, and also about a cameo concept that isn’t a rumor, but rather a request.Charlie CoxwantsDaredevilto appear inCaptain America: Civil War.
First up,Doctor Strange. According toBleeding Cool, he’ll appear onIron Fistbut it may not even be Benedict Cumberbatch. Meaning, we may not see his face but only hear his voice. A cape perhaps? A disembodied voice? We don’t know.
What’s even odder about this rumor isIron Fistdoesn’t have a showrunner yet. If plans hold, it’ll be the fourth and final Netflix series beforeThe Defenders.It’s possible we’ll see the second season ofDaredevilbeforeIron Fistairs. So if this is true, it’s obviously something that can change.Doctor Strangewill be the introduction of the mystical side of the Marvel Universe, though, and that’s right in Iron Fist’s wheelhouse. It does make sense in a way.
Also, Derrickson was scouting locations forDoctor Strangein New York, which is where all the Netflix shows take place, so physically it works, too.
Sticking with the Marvel Netflix shows, Charlie Cox is feeling pretty great about the reactions toDaredevil. Speaking toIGNhe said he would really love to bring the character to the big screen and knows the first opportunity isCaptain America: Civil War.While he would like to appear in that, he’s pretty realistic about it:
Well he’s in the comics, but I think they’re already… I think I might have missed that boat… So unless someone watches the show and falls so madly in love with it that they decide to get me in for a day, that would be great, but I have no idea.
Last week,the rumor mill saidThe Defenders(which includes Daredevil, Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones) would appear inAvengers: Infinity War.So even if none of this ends up happening, if that rumor is true, Marvel fans will get the crossover eventually.
