"Thor: Ragnarok" may have a possible crossover with "Doctor Strange" according to reports. The director of the upcoming film played coy when asked about Benedict Cumberbatch's possible appearance in his movie.

A set photo that reveals a business card with 177A Bleecker Street address written on it. For the uninitiated, that is the address of the Sorcerer Supreme aka Doctor Strange.

Director Taika Waititi said that he does not know anything about the photo. However, he did not categorically deny that Benedict Cumberbatch will make an appearance in "Thor: Ragnarok," Digital Spy reported. "Ohhh I don't know. I am not sure if... I don't know actually. I can't comment on it. It may have just been something for the fans... Might be something like that. Might be a little tease. Or maybe a tease just for people who wanted to zoom into that photo," he said.

"Thor: Ragnarok" is currently in Australia for production but Cumberbatch is yet to be spotted in the same location. Ofcourse it is entirely possible that the actor will appear as Doctor Strange in the credits or that the photo address is just a nod to the #itsallconnected tag-line of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is not the first time that set photos from the film had fans excited about plot possibilities in "Thor 3." Earlier, it had also been revealed via set images that Sir Anthony Hopkins will reprise his role as Odin, Screen Rant reported.

Back in "Thor: The Dark World," Loki (Tom Hiddleston) succeeded in usurping the throne of Asgard from Odin. Unknown to Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Loki is pretending to be his father.

"Thor: Ragnarok" is touted to be the ultimate universe road trip. Mark Ruffalo is confirmed to reprise his role as Dr. Bruce Banner a.k.a The Hulk in the movie. Along the way, the Avengers duo will undoubtedly cross paths with Loki, Hela, Skurge, Surtur and Grandmaster.

"Thor: Ragnarok" is slated for release on November 3, 2017.
