Emmy-winning actor confirmed to play Marvel superhero

Marvel has confirmed that Benedict Cumberbatch will be play neurosurgeon superhero Doctor Stephen Strange.

Cumberbatch will portray the classic Marvel character in one of the studio’s latest projects which is set for release in 2016. The British actor will portray Stephen Strange; a neurosurgeon who experiences supernatural tendencies after suffering a car accident. His inability to operate eventually leads him to become the protective guardian of Earth threatening other foreign planets.

Marvel producer Kevin Feige commented: ‘Benedict will show audiences what makes Doctor Strange such a compelling character [...] Stephen Strange’s story requires an actor capable of great depth and sincerity.’

After gaining commercial success for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, Cumberbatch is one of cinema’s most up-and-coming actors. As well as starring in award-winning films like August: Osage County (2013) and 12 Years a Slave (2013), Cumberbatch is already anticipated an Oscar buzz for his portrayal of technological pioneer Alan Turing in Morten Tyldum’s The Imitation Game (2014).

Doctor Strange is headed for UK release on November 4th, 2016.
