Benedict Cumberbatch is getting a HUGE pay increase for Doctor Strange 2!

Read on to find out what Benedict Cumberbatch will be getting for his next installment of the MCU movie Doctor Strange 2…

CelebNMovies247.com has the latest from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has set a start date for Doctor Strange 2 filming next spring.

The 42-year-old actor Benedict Cumberbatch will roughly receive $9,586,237.50 for Doctor Strange 2.

A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper:

Benedict has become a huge player in the Marvel universe. But the nature of the shoot for the sequel means we’re looking at 2020 for the next time we see the sleuth in a full series – if it happens at all.

The British actor has already made $5,369,196.00 for playing Doctor Strange in the first standalone movie, ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ and two ‘Avengers’ films.

In addition to the increase in pay, Cumberbatch will also be getting merch for his MCU character, which means big bucks.

Benedict previously joked:

This a point of contention. Tom Hiddleston, he comes back from doing Thor and he’s like, ‘Look, dude!’ And he’s got a Thor lunchbox, a Thor slurpy cup and Thor backpacks.

He added:

And there’s Spider-Man backpacks and Hulk backpacks too. And I’m like, ‘I’m a Marvel superhero too! Where’s my Doctor Strange backpack for Christ’s sake? Where’s my merch? I can bloody manipulate time. I can fly! Kids need to realize the potential value of having a Doctor Strange backpack.
