After lots of rumors it is official. Benedict Cumberbatch will be Dr. Strange in the Marvel movie. Previously rumored Joaquin Phoenix passed on it and Josh Brolin, Jared Leto, and Tom Hardy were also rumored (oddly enough Jared Leto and Tom Hardy will be working together on DC Comic's The Suicide Squad). Cumberbatch was rumored to be high on Marvel's list and now he has officially signed a deal.
Currently Cumberbatch is getting lots of Oscar talk for his role in The Imitation Game.
