Marvel Studios have just confirmed what many have suspected,
that Benedict Cumberbatch will play Doctor Strange in Scott Derrickson's Phase
3 film.
“Stephen Strange’s story requires an
actor capable of great depth and sincerity,” says Producer Kevin Feige.
“In 2016, Benedict will show audiences what makes Doctor Strange such a unique
and compelling character.”
The Story "will follow the story
of neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a horrific car accident,
discovers the hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions."
Cumberbatch rose to international prominence with his critically acclaimed
turn as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous creation in “Sherlock,” currently
preparing its fourth season. The series’ most recent season earned Cumberbatch
the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie
in 2014, after winning the BAFTA/LA Britannia Award for British Artist of the
Year in 2013.
Cumberbatch most recently starred in “The Imitation Game,” playing famed
mathematician and logician Alan Turing, and will soon be seen in “The Hobbit:
The Army of the Five Armies” as Smaug and the Necromancer. For the role of
Smaug, Cumberbatch stepped into the world of motion capture to bring the dragon
to life. He will next be seen in Scott Cooper’s film “Black Mass,” the story of
Whitey Bulger coming to theaters next September, where he stars opposite Johnny
Depp and Joel Edgerton.
Doctor Strange hits theaters on November 4, 2016.
