For the anon who asked about rehashing. The DS3 article was not rehashing. His contract was not signed for DS3. He was not meant to be Sorcery Supreme in DS3. Clea, who they haven’t even introduced in the movie yet, was. The article was saying that Marvel/Disney changed plans because of a situation. Although COVID would not be a reason to change that storyline, so it must be a different reason. Perhaps a personal one? Some people claim Iron Man was not supposed to die but RDJ had some personal issues that required his attention and that caused the change in plans. Disney/Marvel leaves flexibility in their scripts in case of such inevitable problems.

I wonder what changed that he will be doing DS3?
IMO DS3 was always in the cards, otherwise there would’ve been no point in offering Benedict an extension in the first place. Clea or Brother Voodoo would inherit the mantle of Sorceror Supreme only if Benedict left after DS2. Marvel Studios is simply being more specific as to what they would want him to stay onboard for. All of it is still contingent on his compliance with their PR plan and how well DS2 does at the BO. DS3 would also help fill the gap created by Chadwick’s exit from Black Panther due to his deteriorating health. Recasting the titular role and retooling that script will take time…
