1st official look at Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange

PanARMENIAN.Net - The first official looks at Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange have landed online. The first photo is featured on EW magazine's cover and the site has released five other images including some concept arts, AceShowbiz reports.

One of the photos sees the 39-year-old actor wearing a red cape as the titular superhero as he performs his magical abilities. "These gestures are ways of creating the magic. It's a beautiful thing, it's balletic, it's very dynamic," Cumberbatch said of the photo. "There's all sorts of craziness [in 'Doctor Strange']," he added. "Falling, flying, jumping, fighting, punching, getting punched. It's really rough and tumble."

"Doctor Strange" follows the titular neurosurgeon as he loses the use of his hands after a severe accident. While traveling to Tibet, he encounters the Ancient One, who turns him into a Sorcerer Supreme to defend the world against evil. Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael Stuhlbarg are also in the cast of the superhero flick that will open in U.S. theaters on November 4, 2016.
