First Official Look at Benedict Cumberbatch as DOCTOR STRANGE!
The latest cover for Entertainment Weekly features our first official look at Benedict Cumberbatch as the Sorcerer Supreme in Marvel's upcoming Doctor Strange Film. It's awesome that he's in full costume, and I absolutely love the look of it! It's exactly what I was hoping it would look like. It completely nails the style from the comics.
Director Scott Derrickson is currently shooting the film, and we've already seen photos and video from the Nepal set of the film. Cumberbatch talked to EW about the physicality of casting spells:
“I’m still in the infancy of learning all that. It was like, okay, I’ve got to keep throwing these poses, these spells, these rune-casting things, everything he does physically. I’m thinking, there’s going to be a huge amount of speculation and intrigue over the positioning of that finger as opposed to it being there, or there. And I’m still working on that. We haven’t played any of those scenes yet. I felt really self-conscious. But, then, by the end, it was great. It’s like anything, you just have to experiment.”
As far as the psychedelic visual effects in the film goes, Cumberbatch went on to say, “There’s going to be crazy s— going on.”
The movie co-stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Michael Stuhlbarg, Mads Mikkelsen, and Tilda Swinton. The movie hits theaters on November 4th, 2016!
