Wonder no more, Marvel has announced that Benedict Cumberbatch will in fact play the Sorcerer Supreme in 2016’s Doctor Strange! The studio made the announcement today with Marvel Studios Producer Kevin Feige saying quote, “Stephen Strange’s story requires an actor capable of great depth and sincerity. In 2016, Benedict will show audiences what makes Doctor Strange such a unique and compelling character.” Cumberbatch will be among several new stars joining the ranks of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for their Phase 3. It was previously announced that 42 star Chadwick Boseman would be introduced as hero Black Panther in Marvel’s other big 2016 release, Captain America: Civil War before getting his own solo film in 2017. Other characters set to be introduced, but yet to be cast include Captain Marvel, who will get a solo film in 2018 and new superhero team, the Inhumans. Doctor Strange will be Marvel’s first foray into the supernatural side of the comic book universe and will focus on Dr. Stephen Strange, a neurosurgeon who injures his hands in a horrific car accident and discovers the world of magic and alternate dimensions while searching for a cure. Cumberbatch has long been rumored to be taking on the role, but Marvel was reportedly holding off on an official announcement until his deal was complete. Sinister director Scott Derrickson is set to helm the film from a screenplay by Prometheus writer Jon Spaihts. We’ll have to wait until November 4th, 2016 to see how Doctor Strange holds up against the slew of other comic book movies set to arrive that year, but to find out which comic book movies topped our list for 2014, go ahead and click here. But first, who’s excited to see Cumberbatch become the Sorcerer Supreme and do you think we could see him show up in another Marvel movie first?
