From Entertainment Weekly comes this first look as Benedict Cumberbatch as the title character in the forthcoming Doctor Strange film.

I admit, I’ve never taken the time to learn a great deal about Dr. Stephen Strange. Like a lot of second-tier heroes, this one seems to have one “version” in the Marvel world and a counterpart in the DC universe. So, sometimes I forget that Doctor Strange and Doctor Fate are not the same guy. My own ignorance aside, from what we’ve seen so far, the casting and costume seem to be working well visually, so far.

What are your thoughts about the Doctor Strange film? About Mr. Cumberbatch in the title role? What’s one thing you think that I, and other readers should know about the character? Please share your comments.
