The ‘Batch is back. Benedict Cumberbatch will exclusively debut the first trailer for Doctor Strange on Jimmy Kimmel Live next week. The premiere is part of a four-day celebration of everything Marvel called “Captain America Week.”
Festivities kick off on April 11, as Jimmy Kimmel will host “Team Captain America,” which features Chris Evans (Captain America), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Anthony Mackie (Falcon) and Paul Rudd (Ant-Man).
On day two, Kimmel welcomes Cumberbatch, who will unveil the official trailer for Doctor Strange during the telecast. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Clark Gregg will also join the show.
April 13 will switch gears back to the cast of Captain America: Civil War, featuring appearances from “Team Iron Man,” which includes Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Emily VanCamp (Agent 13), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther) and Paul Bettany (Vision).
Captain America Week concludes April 14 with an appearance by Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In Doctor Strange, Cumberbatch stars as Dr. Stephen Strange, a “brilliant but egotistical” surgeon who discovers the world of magic after a car crash leaves him unable to operate. Cumberbatch is joined by Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo.
Doctor Strange is set to arrive in theaters on Nov. 4. Jimmy Kimmel Live airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. on ABC.
