Deadlinehas announced that Sherlock whizz Benedict Cumberbatch is Marvel ’s choice to play the titular Sorcerer Supreme in the Doctor Strange movie , and talks are about to begin . amazing . interrogation : If Strange faces off against Tom Hiddleston ’s Loki at any percentage point , will the cyberspace close down in bliss ?
In type you do n’t recall , the image above is a fun mock - up by Anne Wu made back when Cumberbatch was first rumor for the part , not an official pic or anything . So no need to freak out about Cumberbatch ’s tiny Cumbergoatee . Yet .
Update : Marvel ’s principal on-line spokemanAgent Mhas seemingly respond to the news of Cumberbatch ’s molding with a variety of tweets , generally hinting that people who write things on the internet are generally wrong . Perhaps Deadline jump the gas pedal . For our sake , I trust not — partially because I think Cumberbatch is a swell alternative but mostly because I ’m completely goddamned macabre of the Dr. Strange casting hoopla . We ’ll see .
