Marvel Studios has confirmed that Benedict Cumberbatch has signed on to play Doctor Strange.

Speculation - Benedict Cumberbatch and Doctor Strange

Posted by Jeff Labels: , , , ,

Funny how an assembly of rumors can change at a moments notice in dealing with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I spent yesterday and this morning following up on a rumor that it had come down to Keanu Reeves and Benedict Cumberbatch for part of Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange.   

The rumor mill suggested that if Keanu Reeves could make John Wick into a financial success he would get the nod from the usual tight fisted Marvel Entertainment.   John Wick opened to somewhat disappointing number of the last weekend ($14.5 Million) and it appears that ended any hope that Keanu Reeves might of had.

Early indications that deal is structured a little differently than the deals that Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johannson and other stars have signed with Marvel and its going to cost Marvel more than they wanted to spend, not Robert Downey Jr type money but a good chunk of change.   Suggestion that the original deal is for four movies (two stand alone and two ensemble) with options for two additional films.

The date that was unofficial announced last spring is July 8, 2016.  

The character Doctor Strange is anticipated to have a leading role in Avengers: Part 3 film.  Second part depending on how it is structured.
