Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange

In spite of the undoubtedly remarkable success that Benedict Cumberbatch has achieved in recent years (Sherlock, Atonement, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Star Trek Into Darkness, 12 Years a Slave etc), he still seems to divide opinion massively.

That fact was no different when he was cast as the powerful sorcerer Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (he will get his own movie in 2016), when a large portion of the franchise’s fans backlashed against the casting to the point that many of them threatened to boycott his movie and any in which he appeared.

There is no doubt that Cumberbatch is a unique individual with a somewhat peculiar appearance, but to doubt his acting credentials is actually nothing short of foolish.

We believe that his otherworldly image lends itself perfectly to the Doctor Strange character and that his performance as the Sorcerer Supreme will blow us away – and you guys should probably get used to him, because he will probably end up leading the Avengers into battle against Thanos during the epic upcoming Infinity War movies.
