Benedict Cumberbatch is perfectly cast as 'Stephen Strange', Master of the Mystic Arts and Sorcerer Supreme, a renowned neurosurgeon whose hands are injured in an accident which causes him to seek out a new path for his life.
Created by artist Steve Ditko and first appearing in Strange Tales #110 in 1963, this master mage will introduce us to yet another uncanny aspect of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and explore whole new planes of existence.
In the film the good Doctor of New York City's Greenwich Village is set to face off against Mads Mikkelsen's villainous 'Kaecilius' with the help of comic book enemy 'Baron Mordo' (played by Chiwetel Ejiofor), with Rachel McAdams a friend from his surgeon days and Benedict Wong playing Strange's reimagined manservant 'Wong'.
Horror film director Scott Derrickson's superhero movie debut hasn't been without its critics though, as some people have criticised the whitewashing of Doctor Strange's Tibetan mentor, 'The Ancient One', from an Asian character to caucasian actress Tilda Swinton.
