Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange Marvel Studios

"Avengers: Infinity War" is yet another highly awaited Marvel film that will soon come to the big screen, and recent speculations about the various Marvel superheroes included in the movie are getting fans hyped over its release.

According to recent speculations, "Avengers: Infinity War" will be including heroes from the "Guardians of the Galaxy" film as well as the recently released "Doctor Strange."

To confirm this speculation, "Doctor Strange" actor Benedict Cumberbatch teased fans that his character will be the reason why the Avengers will be reunited. Doctor Strange will help the Avengers become a team again by mending the broken trust between Avengers Tony Stark — more commonly known as Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) — and Steve Rogers — who also goes by the super hero name Captain America (Chris Evans) — that was caused by a dispute within the U.S. government when they marked Captain America as a fugitive.

Furthermore, Doctor Strange is also said to portray a neutral role that will not side with any of the superhero groups that Marvel has constructed. Instead, Doctor Strange will show the superheroes how important securing the Infinity Stones is, and he will tell all the heroes that they must unite to effectively accomplish their task.

It is said that the plot of "Avengers: Infinity War" will focus on the "Infinity Gauntlet" storyline. In the upcoming Avengers movie, the Marvel super heroes will face a new bad guy named Thanos (Josh Brolin). Thanos will aim to win the affection of Death — which is speculated to be portrayed by Cate Blanchett — and in order to do so, he must destroy the universe by collecting and destroy all the Infinity Stones.

In order to successfully save the universe, all the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy will have to unite to conquer the Mad Titan that is Thanos.

"Avengers: Infinity War" is will be coming to the big screen on May 4, 2018.
