Sherlock, Khan, Smaug . . . Stephen Strange

[Uncle Yuan]

So it appears that Benedict Cumberbatch has been tapped to play Dr. Stange.  I think it's a great move.  He's pretty much the "it" character actor in genre films these days which will be a big draw and be a big help to the buzz about the movie (if it being a Marvel movie was enough of a draw factor alone).  And he's a very solid actor (he does a great arrogant jerk, which will work particularly well for Dr. Stephen Strange, surgeon).
