Benedict Cumberbatch Cast As ‘Doctor Strange’ In Marvel’s Upcoming Film

Hot off the digital Presses is this fantastic news!

Sherlock star, and Tumblr heartthrob, Benedict Cumberbatch has just been cast as Doctor Strange in the upcoming film adaptation of the Marvel sorcerer.

With filming set to begin in May of 2015, fans were starting to get a little anxious as to who would play the cult favorite. Early rumors also say that this is NOT going to be an origin film, and as a fan of Strange PhD I cannot be more on board with that decision.

Doctor Strange is being directed by Scott Derrickson and is written by Jon Spaihts.
