New What If…? Poster Showcases Zombie Doctor Strange
The fifth episode of Marvel's What If...? asked the question "What If... Zombies?!," and it's the second episode of the series to feature a bleak ending for Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch). The character turned evil in the previous episode, "What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands," and the latest saw him as one of the many Avengers who fell victim to the zombie fate. Earlier this week, Marvel Studios shared a look at some new What If...? posters featuring the zombie versions of Hawkeye and Captain America. Today, they shared another new poster featuring zombie Doctor Strange.
"14,000,605 outcomes, but how many have zombies? 🤔 Awaken the undead in the latest episode of Marvel Studios' @WhatIf...?, now streaming on @DisneyPlus," Marvel wrote on Instagram. You can check out the new poster in the post below:

Recently, he spoke with the Variety Awards Circut Podcast and teased that the new Spider-Man movie will be controversial.
"Yeah, [Spider-Man: No Way Home] will be a lot, a lot of fun. There will be a lot of debate about it, I'm sure, but it's a daring, brilliant concept," Cumberbatch shared. "It has got great ambition [...] I haven't seen it, but by all accounts I think it's achieved it. And I mean, even on paper, the audacity of it, like, 'How the hell is that gonna work?' Also, so excited about the overall opportunity of them exploring those ideas. So yeah, I'll be really interested to see how it comes out. But I'm pretty certain it'll be a hit."
