Now it appears that Benedict Cumberbatch ("Star Trek Into Darkness") will play Marvel's Doctor Strange. Although it's far from being a done deal, the actor will begin negotiations with the studio. Produced by Kevin Feige, the film will be directed by Scott Derrickson ("The Exorcism of Emily Rose") from a script by Jon Spaihts ("Prometheus"). The release date is expected to be set sometime in Summer 2016.
The Doctor Strange comics first came out in the early 1960s. The protagonist is a former neurosurgeon who serves as a protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats.
