3. Doctor Strange
Who's Playing Him? Benedict Cumberbatch. Who's Benedict Cumberbatch? In the last few years alone, Cumberbatch's star has only continued to grow thanks to roles in projects like The Hobbit trilogy, Star Trek Into Darkness, 12 Years a Slave, Black Mass, The Imitation Game, and, of course, his ongoing turn as the titular character on BBC's Sherlock. What's He Appearing In? Doctor Strange. Why You Should Be Excited: For years now, fans have been anticipating the arrival of a Doctor Strange film, fueled by the hopes and promises made by those within Marvel Studios, but when Stephen Strange was name-dropped in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the gauntlet was thrown down: The character was finally, definitely coming. In comparison to all the other big characters fans have met so far in the MCU, Strange will offer something completely new, opening the door to the mystical, magical realm of the universe that's only been teased at. Throw in Cumberbatch - who has accumulated a legion of fans over the years - and the film has every opportunity to be another refreshingly unique entry to the overall franchise.
