Avengers endgame's benedict cumberbatch improvised key moment

Doctor Strange actor Benedict Cumberbatch apparently improvised a key moment in last year's _Avengers: Endgame_. This is according to _Doctor Strange _director Scott Derrickson, who

retweeted a GIF on Twitter yesterday (October 27) featuring the Sorcerer Supreme holding his finger up. Derrickson simply captioned his post: "Benedict told me this moment was an

improv." RELATED: _DOCTOR STRANGE_'S BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH CONFIRMS WHEN _MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS _WILL START FILMING In the movie itself, this happens during the battle scene where

Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man looks to Strange and realises that the "one way" to beat Thanos is to steal the Infinity Stones and use them – killing himself in the process. The

filmmaker's followers were quick to share comments on this revelation, with one writing: "you can tell him it might be the most emotionally charged single finger in cinematic

history, his and ET's." "As if we needed any more proof that Benedict was a Grade A actor," added someone else. RELATED: DOCTOR STRANGE WILL FEATURE IN _SPIDER-MAN 3_

Gyllenhaal were all considered to play Strange? In the end, Leto and Gyllenhaal joined different Marvel projects: _Morbius _and _Spider-Man: Far From Home_.____ _AVENGERS: ENDGAME _IS OUT
