‘Doctor Strange 2’: Is Benedict Cumberbatch Leaving the MCU After ‘Multiverse of Madness’?

Well, there’s the Rat’s answer to the blurbs UTA etc put out this past week. Blurbs implying that BC is irreplaceable and that Marvel is willing to bend over backwards to accommodate him. The underlying message however is if you want him, you have to go through us (UTA). Methinks UTA doesn’t want to play ball with the Rat because their PR damage control plan only extends to Benedict. UTA (and SoFail) won’t look too hot once their gross mishandling of the ShamWow comes out. It could cost them clients at a time when they really can’t afford it. If the Rat were to lock him into a second contract past 2021 it may not be through UTA anymore and they don’t like that at all…
If my theory is correct? Then the Rat is right to be pissed because UTA is totally out of line. Are they taking Benedict’s LT interests and his well-being into account? No.
