Benedict Cumberbatch is Stephen Strange:

Also, I couldn't find an existing thread for this, so hopefully it's ok that I created a new topic.

Nice choice.  Looked him up on IMDB and he's been around.  I wonder if in the future there will be a Defenders movie?

Seems this isn't 100% confirmed just yet but I really hope this is true. I'm a big Cumberbatch fan, he's awesome in Sherlock and in Star Trek, but I'm not a big Strange fan, so putting an actor I like in the role is a nice perk.

Just a rumor apparently. I don't believe there was anything to it.

They key phrase is "negotiations are about to begin" so he hasn't actually agreed to anything, at least not finally.

Hopefully it will work out though. I think he's be brilliant.

Bendynoodle Crumberpants is gonna play Stephen Strange?  I hope that Bandicoot Crumblycake will do justice to the role.  :lol:

Hmm...interesting choice.  He's certainly got the presence, but I'm not sure.

Joaquin Phoenix was reputedly very close to signing, but balked at the multi-movie deal Marvel insists on.  Which is great, if Benedict Cumberbatch is cast!  He's awesome, but hasn't had a chance to show it really on the big screen yet.

I gotta be honest, I think this Marvel movie so far has probably the best cast so far.  These guys are standouts!

That said, I hope he's not playing Dormammu.  It's hard to get the intricacies of the actor when your head's on fire.  Mephisto however...

Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One? Really? Does everything need to be modernized?

Does it really matter?  Would you rather have Ben Kingsley play the Ancient One?

I actually would not mind that.  I don't think him bad at all, and honestly, the only reason why he gets a bad rap is because of what they did to the Mandarin in Iron Man 3 which was NOT his fault.

It would be odd to see him playing two characters in the MCU, though :P

@Benton: Hahaha, if only, right?  Hoss is talking about Dr. Strange's and Baron Mordo's teacher, the Ancient One.  Former Sorceror Supreme and Master of the Mystical.

Benton!  If someone ask you if she's an Ancient One, you say "Yes!"

Ha!  Right Shogunn!

Spyder, I know the character, I was making a joke about the rather strange look of Tilda Swinton. ;)

Tilda's gonna be amazing. She never disappoints, and really her becoming Marvel alumni fits with some of her recent co-stars, Chris Evans and Tom Hiddleston. Eventually everyone will become a character in the MCU!

Looking surprisingly traditional!  Even got something of the high collar.  I like it.

Awesome.  This so made my day.  He looks fantastic, right on target for the comic appearance, and darn it if Cumberbach doesn't look PERFECT as Strange.  Take note WB/DC, THIS is how you honor source material.  I'm getting excited about this film!

Well, for whatever it's worth, he was played by black voice actor Kevin Micheal Richardson in the animated film.

Though the rumour currently circulating...
Spoiler
is that Mordo is not the villain in this film.  That honour goes to Mads Mikkelson (sp?), whose character has not yet been announced.

Well, 1) I love that actor, and I'm sure he'll do a good job, unlike the guy playing Aquaman, but 2) I DO hate it when they switch a character's race for no reason.

Still a better casting choice then Will Smith as Deadshot.
Who could Mads play?Hood maybe?

What do you think are the chances of Hulk making a cameo in the Dr. Strange movie?  It would be cool to see 2/3 of the original defenders.
