DOCTOR STRANGE: Marvel Studios Lands Who They Have Wanted All Along... Benedict Cumberbatch


Fan boys and girls rejoice! The one actor name who has been talked about the longest for the role of Doctor Strange is the one who has reportedly landed it. Deadline is reporting that Marvel is in negotiations with Benedict Cumberbatch to be Doctor Strange.

While this news is as is, let me take you back to December 2013 when The Daily SuperHero was the ONLY website to report that Marvel Studios wanted Benedict Cumberbatch so bad that Disney potentially leaked false claims he was in the running for a role in Star Wars Episode VII. This was all being done as a way to mask Disney's real intent for the actor which was for a leading role in a future Marvel Studios film. [See the post link for this story below.]

While I could not get any confirmation of that rumor, nearly a year ago, it seems like my source was right (again) and Marvel Studios definitely wanted Cumberbatch all along. While the details of this new deal are still unknown, fans everywhere can sigh in relief that Marvel has finally landed their next Tony Stark-like, long term actor who will be one of the most important characters in Phase 3 and beyond.
