Full settlement wording
Avengers: Doomsday is a Marvel film scheduled to release on December 18, 2026.
This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed actor playing the listed character appears in Avengers: Doomsday. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
This market will resolve upon announcement of casting, regardless of if the film is delayed, cancelled, or otherwise fails to be released. If no casting is announced, this market will resolve upon footage of the domestic theatrical cut of the film. If multiple people are cast for the same role, the listed individual being among the cast list for the relevant character will be sufficient to qualify this market towards a "Yes" resolution.
If no casting is announced and Avengers: Doomsday is definitively cancelled or fails to be released by June 30, 2027, 11:59PM ET, this market will resolve to "No".
This market will resolve based on official announcements from Marvel or Warner Bros., the domestic theatrical cut of Avengers: Doomsday, or a consensus of credible reporting.

Additional clarification(s): If Avengers: Doomsday is entirely cancelled or abandoned before any official performance or release occurs, but Benedict Cumberbatch was officially announced in Doctor Strange, the Contract will resolve to “Yes.” If multiple people are announced for Doctor Strange (e.g., alternating cast, dual casting), and Benedict Cumberbatch is among them, the Contract will resolve to “Yes.” The Contract may resolve to “No” prior to the Expiration Date if: (a) Avengers: Doomsday is cancelled or completes its run without Benedict Cumberbatch being announced or performing in Doctor Strange, or (b) another person is officially announced as the sole exclusive performer for Doctor Strange.
