Avengers: Infinity War
Benedict Cumberbatch reveal that Doctor Strange ’s most scathing Iron Man ( Robert Downey Jr. ) vilification inAvengers : Infinity Warwas improvised . Set - up by the result ofCaptain America : Civil War , the 2018 Marvel Studios blockbuster pick up two years following the Avengers ' break - up . This resulted in Thanos ' ( Josh Brolin ) attack and forced fresh hero team - ups including that of Doctor Strange , Iron Man , and Spider - Man ( Tom Holland ) as they travel to Titan to face the purple villain .
Due to its massive form , director Joe and Anthony Russo had to section the heroes and their allies into small group inAvengers : Infinity War . One of those teams included Iron Man , Doctor Strange , and Spider - Man ( Tom Holland ) who were all base in New York . But their squad - up come out on the haywire metrical foot as Tony Stark and Stephen Strange did n’t omit to trade jab against each other .

As Cumberbatch promotesDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , he also look back on his stretch in the MCU thus far . In a new interview withBBC Radio 1 , he tells the story of how Doctor Strange ’s Iron Man burning inAvengers : Infinity Warwas totally improvised and inspired by Downey and Holland riffing off of each other . Read his full scuttlebutt below :
So fundamentally , Tom had just come off the achiever of the first Spider - gentleman pic of his and plain he had scenes with Downey so they knew each other . They were very relaxed around each other so on the Q ship they were sort of thumb around auntie May and I was going ' This is crazy . I ’m working on one of the big budget most special pic of all clip and these two actor are just being playful like make poppycock up and it ends up in the movie . allow ’s have some of that , let ’s have some fun . ' But I call back doing it and the crew was sort of over the back of his shoulder evidently , and I just commemorate people literally kind of go ' Oh ! ' I went ' oh shoot , what have I done something have I ever stepper my mark ? ' and everyone else was like ' That was sick . That was so coolheaded . ' Can you let in that ' and the Russos sound out like ' if we ’re let to , we would decidedly , by all odds include that short letter . ' "
Despite the initial conflict between the pair , Iron Man and Doctor Strange eventually found a mode to work together . In fact , the thaumaturgist even volitionally gave up the Time Stone to save the Avenger ’s lifetime , albeit it had something to do with learning that Tony Stark would be instrumental in defeating Thanos ( Josh Brolin ) five years later on inAvengers : Endgame . Throughout it all , only Doctor Strange knew what the plan was go to be and he refused to give away it until the very last second , just before Tony decided to slip the Infinity Stones and rupture the Titan out of cosmos . In the destruction , Iron Man gain Doctor Strange ’s genuine respect after his grand snap . Perhaps , it might even be one of the major reasons whyDoctor Strange was adamant about helping Spider - ManinSpider - Man : No Way Home .
Thanks to their similar personalities , realise Doctor Strange and Iron Man working together inAvengers : Infinity Waris arguably one of the unspoilt bits of the picture . Unfortunately , with Iron Man now all in in the MCU , fan wo n’t be assure more of them moving forrad . Unless , of course , Marvel Studios decides to plunge into the multiverse to impart back the genius , billionaire Corinthian . That may not bechance anytime soon , but it ’s squeamish to recognise that there ’s an easy way to bring back Iron Man into the enfranchisement .
