Cumberbatch: From Khan to Doctor Strange

Benedict Cumberbatch, who played Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness a couple of years back, will continue his ascent up the Hollywood food chain with Doctor Strange, the upcoming superhero movie in which he plays the titular surgeon-turned-Sorcerer Supreme/protector of Earth. The film actually just started production a few weeks ago, and shooting will carry on into the late winter, but Entertainment Weekly put Cumberbatch, in costume, on the cover of Jan. 8 issue.

Cumberbatch’s co-stars include Tilda Swinton, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Mads Mikkelsen. Doctor Strange will be released on November 4, 2016.
