Benedict Cumberbatch's first reaction to his Doctor Strange costume is probably how most of us would react if we happened to be in that situation.

Chatting to Graham Norton in the run-up to Avengers: Infinity War, Cumberbatch recalled the very first time he put on the entire outfit - cloak included - saying that he looked at himself in the mirror... and just started laughing with joy.

The costume designer called it his "superhero moment", 2:00 in the video below!

Doctor Strange definitely has one of the most unique, spellbinding looks in the entire MCU, so it's totally understandable why Cumberbatch was so giddy.

And on the subject of magic-users...
