POLL: How Do You Feel About Benedict Cumberbatch Playing DOCTOR STRANGE?
It was a long time coming, but this week finally saw Marvel confirm that Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch will play the Sorcerer Supreme in 2016's Doctor Strange. Some love the casting, others hate it, but how do you feel? Here's your chance to let us know...
So, after months of speculation and rumours, we finally have a Doctor Strange in the form of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, The Imitation Game, and Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch. Joaquin Phoenix looked like the frontrunner for some time, but after dropping out due to the lengthy contract obligations, the hunt resumed. Countless names followed, but as he was always a fan-favourite pick, Benedict Cumberbatch nabbing the coveted role seemed like a pipe dream.
However, after the trades all but confirmed it, Marvel made it official earlier this week.
The response has obviously been very vocal, with some praising Marvel for seemingly listening to fans, and others criticising the studio for what they believe to be a "safe" and boring choice. So, how do you feel about the British actor bringing the Sorcerer Supreme to life on the big screen in 2016? Has he always been the right man for the job or d you think Marvel have made a huge mistake? Here's your chance to tell us, so cast your vote in the poll and then share your thoughts...
