Dr. Strange - Benedict Cumberbatch Cast!

[RJDiogenes]

And that's why adaptations don't really excite me. They always change stuff and ruin the concept.

 

[M.A.C.O.]

It's getting Strange in here.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Perfect!

 

[Samurai8472]

It's going to be a fest for the eyes. The imagery looks to be amazing

They've really hit it out of the ball park.

Concept art

 

[Anwar]

So did they get rid of the whole car accident injuring his hands element of his backstory? That seems kind of like doing Spider-Man but not killing Uncle Ben.

The concept art shows him looking at his messed up hands in a hospital bed. I'm pretty sure that's being retained.

 

[Turtletrekker]

Mads Mikkelsen official cast as the movie's as yet un-named villain.

"Mads' character is a sorcerer who breaks off into his own sect," elaborated Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. "[He] believes that the Ancient One is just protecting her own power base and that the world may be better off if we were to allow some of these other things through [to his dimension]."

 

[Anwar]

So it's not Dormammu or Mephisto then...

...Maybe some altered version of Nightmare?

I was talking about the old TV movie, I knew they weren't cutting it from the new movie.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

He still looks too Benedictine for my tastes (though they're trying) but everything else looks good in those shots.

 

[Samurai8472]

Some are speculating the green gem in Strange's amulet is an infinity gem

For those that are keeping tabs that's 5 out of 6 so far we know

Space Stone (Blue): Housed in the Tesseract. Now currently sent back to Asgard

Mind Stone (Yellow): Used to be in Loki's staff. Now it's in Vision's forehead

Reality Stone (Red): Formed by the Dark Elf Malekith into a fluid-like weapon called the Aether, it is entrusted to the Collector at the end of Thor: The Dark World.

Power Stone (Purple): Entrusted to the Nova Corps for safekeeping.

 

[Kemaiku]

We only have the Green and Orange to go, with no idea which is which.

So he either has the Time or Soul stone, I'm guessing it isn't the Time stone, this thing looks like it's altering his body and fueling him with weird arcane power.

 

[Samurai8472]

Here it looks green. Maybe he's tapping into the energies of the cosmos

 

[TheSeeker]

Wow. They really did a good translating his look from the comic.

 

[Tom Hendricks]

Here it looks green. Maybe he's tapping into the energies of the cosmos

Totally looks green. I love the texture on the cape, so much wonderfulness going on. Also the inside lining, simply beautiful.

 

[DEWLine]

What their version of the Eye reminds me of?

The skylight of the comics version of the Sanctum.

 

[kirk55555]

He looks exactly like I'd hope he'd look. Marvel has done a great job of making the characters look recognizable compared to their comic counterparts, while also making sense in-universe. The concept art also looks very good. I'm sure this is going to be another hit for Marvel.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

The side hair swoops are a nice finishing touch.

 

[The Old Mixer]

If that one picture is supposed to be the sanctum, I'm not crazy about it...too ultra-modern looking. Wouldn't be a deal-breaker, tho.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Yeah, I'd like it to look more stuffy, but I'm not going to complain.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Well, the Sorcerer Supreme garb looks pretty decent.
