Doctor Strange himself has only proven that Marvel has a stronghold in its stars when it comes to possible spoilage.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has come of age in a global social media. As a result, an entire industry has emerged that is based on film and TV spoilage. There is a whole faction that is specifically focused on the MCU.
It’s something Doctor Strange star Benedict Cumberbatch and other Marvel actors have been dealing for years. How far will Marvel go to prevent leaks?
‘Doctor Strange’ is part of one of the most mysterious franchises in Hollywood
When Marvel actors do press tours, many people often call it the “Marvel Sniper”. This is a running joke among the MCU stars, implying that the studio is watching everything they say and do. Security has been relatively strict since the beginning. But things went to another level with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, thanks to directors Joe and Anthony Russo.
The last two Phase 3 movies had a lot of secrets, and they managed to keep the vast majority of the movies. The snag in theater audiences at the end of Infinity War was real because no one knew it was coming. This is quite impressive considering how many large franchises had a major leak before their premiere.
Not everyone gets a full text
According to Screen Rant, the approach to the flow of information is one of the keys to Marvel’s incredible ability to keep secrets. There is a small team that knows everything. Everyone gets information on a need-to-know basis.
In both Infinity War and Endgame, most actors in the cast received only the portion of the script that included their specific scenes. Robert Downey Jr. was one of the chosen ones who actually had access to the entire screenplay during the filming.
‘Doctor Strange’ star Benedict Cumberbatch hid his face in an interview
Cumberbatch is currently filming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. At the same time he is printing a new film called The Mauritanian. Benedict recently had an interview with the Concordia Forum via Zoom, and he calls from his Marvel trailer.

However, Cumberbatch hid his face from the screen during the interview. All fans saw was the empty wall of his trailer because he is under an embargo. This strict restriction was probably due to the fact that Cumberbatch was in costume and that the studio did not want anyone to see him.
‘Doctor Strange’ star Elizabeth Olsen says Marvel waits until the last minute
Controlled information and hidden ages are not the only thing Marvel will do to keep their secrets. According to Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), the actors will sometimes get private information at the last minute. This is how the cast learned about the end of Avengers: Infinity War.
Marvel also holds private test previews of their movies instead of testing in public. It is a great tool to keep secrets as long as possible.
Only Kevin Feige knows what’s really going to happen in the MCU
While promoting his new Disney + series The falcon and the winter soldier, star Anthony Mackie recently revealed that the MCU is as much a surprise to the actors as it is to fans. He says the only person who really knows the future of the MCU is studio boss Kevin Feige.
“When our script is over and our program is over, we’m just as excited to see what happens next,” Mackie told The Toronto Sun. ‘This is the beauty of Marvel and the appreciation you have for the actor in a Marvel movie. Every cliffhanger is a cliffhanger for everyone except Kevin (Feige). ‘
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will appear in theaters on March 25, 2022.
