ComicBook.com reported an interview in which Cumberbatch pointed to the COVID pandemic of the last year as a major part in the delayed production, making reshoots a necessity for the completion of the film; and for that film to measure up to the anticipation it has received, and the high standard of excellence Marvel expects.
“Were in the middle of reshoots, “Cumberbatch was reported as stating. “We’re working incredibly hard to make a schedule work to realize the full potential of the film- bits that we want to do better but also bits that were just impossible to do on the day because of logistics, COVID, etc.”

The veteran Doctor Strange actor also stated, “We were so delayed in production, because of that, luckily, not doing production too much. Although everything is just a little slower.”
Cumberbatch concluded, “we’re making it even better: we’ve got some reshoots coming up in November and December, and it comes out in May. And I guess you’ll have to wait until then…”
