Benedict Cumberbatch has teased the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and revealed that it is "about to explode" into different storyline directions. The 41-year-old actor has starred as the primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats, Doctor Stephen Strange, in the current MCU and is set to reprise his role in the upcoming 'Avengers: Infinity War' movie, but admitted the universe has gotten "quite crowded". Cumberbatch said: "What we've seen happen within the Marvel Cinematic Universe is this ever-expanding couture of superheroes. And I think now we're at the stage where this universe, even within our world, has gotten quite crowded and it's just about to explode into other dimensions." Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige confirmed that the fourth 'Avengers' movie, which is slated for a 2019 release, will change the MCU and said Spider-Man will then take the world in another direction.
