FAN-ART: Stunning New Piece Transforms Benedict Cumberbatch Into DOCTOR STRANGE

A very cool piece of fan-art has started doing the rounds which once again transforms Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch into Marvel' Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange. Here's hoping he looks this good in Scott Derrickson's 2016 movie! Check it out...

2014 was quite the year for Doctor Strange, with Joaquin Phoenix at one point the frontrunner to play the Sorcerer Supreme for Marvel Studios. However, lengthy contract obligations seemingly led to him departing the project, and Marvel ultimately turned to fan-favourite choice (and one of the first actors to emerge as being in contention), Benedict Cumberbatch. It's probably going to be a very long time until we see anything official from the movie, so how about this awesome fan-made effort which transforms the Sherlock star into Doctor Strange? You can see more of this artist's work by clicking on the link below! Are you excited to see the actor take on this role?

Pretty cool, I would have preferred Phoenix but Cumberbatch isn't bad.

Yeah, the news section isn't for news anymore. It is filled with posts that start with "COMICS:" even though there is a Comics section, "FAN-ART" even though there is a Fan-Fic section, etc. Why have those other sections if the top editor is going to ignore them?

"If ANYONE else posted this in the news section, it would a) be taken off the main, b) moved to the fan fiction section, or c) be deleted."



The day when some of you all realize that you all have more power over this site than it does over you is the day when you'll never have to worry about the articles you put hard work into being taken down. I mean the only day when we don't have to worry about a majority of our articles being taken down is on April fools day. Looks like the joke has been and always will be (if we allow it to continue) on us.

I'm pretty sure that the Comics section is a display page for all of the articles with the "Comics" tag.

If Mr Phoenix wanna be in a Marvel-movie, but dont like multi-contracts, he would make a perfect vilain.

And if it got moved and or deleted, a reasonable explanation would be sitting in your email.

But [frick] him, right?

Part of me feels that the Dr. Strange we will see on screen will look quite different than his portrayal in the comics. I would be surprised if Marvel decided to go with another hero with the black hair, mustache and goatee look seeing that most people recognize that as Tony Stark's look. Not saying I agree, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I totally agree! Think how awesome and unexpected it would be if they got Joaquin Phoenix to play Baron Mordo or Dormammu in the Dr. Strange movie?!

I think maybe they'll have him sport the pencil thin mustache he used to have:
