"I'm pretty sure nobody believed you, Benedict."

The Russo brothers have announced several upcoming movies for the MCU lineup. The Doomsday arc has already garnered significant anticipation, with casting rumors and reports continuously surfacing on social media.

It all began when Benedict Cumberbatch, known for portraying Doctor Strange in the MCU, denied his involvement in the Doomsday project. However, the buzz took a sharp turn when he later confirmed the opposite.

Marvel's Avengers arc has delivered worldwide box office successes such as Infinity War and Endgame. Fans have eagerly awaited the return of their favorite Avengers and are excited to see the new changes in the storyline.

The news has become a source of humor for many Benedict Cumberbatch fans, as the Sherlock actor himself didn’t cover his tracks very well. On X, the "nobody believed you" mood is already trending. Fans were initially heartbroken upon hearing about Cumberbatch's supposed absence from the Doomsday project, but with this latest revelation, their excitement has been reignited.

Fans have a strange ability to smell casting even miles away from the MCU office. When Dr. Strange denied his association with the new Avengers: Doomsday project, fans were quick to wear a Sherlock cloak and read between the lines. That is why some MCU followers already knew that the denial may eventually turn into a confirmation.

Someone humorously opined:

"They give him pages. He doesn’t know what movie it’s for."

As the casting news goes up and down in tides of information, some fans have engaged themselves in weaving fan theories. Surely, Benedict Cumberbatch has entranced X users into a laughing frenzy with his strange magic.

I don't care what movie he's in, the universe needs more Dr. Strange.

Both times, fans waited for the ultimate words holding their breaths! When tension piles up that high, what else but humor can lighten the mind?
