It looks like Thor and The Hulk won’t be the only Marvel superheroes teaming up in November’s Thor: Ragnarok, as Disney has confirmed that Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange is set to feature in the Taika Waititi-directed blockbuster.

“If you need even more intergalactic, world-saving action, Thor: Ragnarok in November brings together Thor, the Hulk, and Doctor Strange to face off against intergalactic baddies both familiar and new,” reads a statement on Disney’s D23 website looking ahead at the year’s big releases from the House of Mouse.

The Sorcerer Supreme’s inclusion in Thor: Ragnarok was of course teased in the mid-credits scene of Doctor Strange, where Strange promised to help Thor locate Odin, who is missing after the events of Thor: The Dark World.
