Benedict Cumberbatch cast a spell over Marvel’s virtual WandaVision event on Thursday to praise his Doctor Strange 2 co-star Elizabeth Olsen ahead of her “addictive” new series WandaVision. The first Marvel Studios series, which premieres Friday on Disney+, sets up Olsen’s return to the feature film side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The Sam Raimi-directed 2022 sequel forms a loose trilogy with WandaVision and Marvel-Sony’s Homecoming 3 — featuring Cumberbatch in a guest-starring role as a mystic mentor to Spider-Man (Tom Holland) — and has connections to another Marvel series, Loki, premiering later this year on Disney+.
