The reaction to the casting of Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange was by no means wholly negative, but it certainly didn't trigger widespread positivity either. The actor is incredibly popular at the moment and those people who were already specifically fans of the Englishman were obviously pleased, but many other people had a different opinion. It has been criticised quite harshly as a casting by some, while others, at best, have said that it is a bland and uninspired choice, and some are just disappointed that the brilliant Joaquin Phoenix wasn't cast in the role after the rumours surfaced that he had been. However, you can actually expect the Sherlock actor to totally nail the role. Cumberbatch has a unique otherworldly quality about him that is perfect for the Sorcerer Supreme and he can pull off smart and arrogant brilliantly. Expect a lot of humble pie to be eaten once the movie is released in 2016. So there you have it - ten fascinating predictions about the Doctor Strange movie. Did you enjoy this article?
