Welcome to the Legion!

Today EW posted a first look picture of Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange and it’s kind of amazing. This is one of my most anticipated Marvel films, between the casting, the gender-swapping of the Ancient One in Tilda Swinton and bringing magic to the MCU.

I know many of you think the casting of Ampersand Crumblybatch is a little on the nose, but I’m really okay with that. I think he’s going to be perfect and he’ll, what the issue with perfect casting?

Check out the pic from the new issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine and let us know what you think. Doctor Strange will hit theaters on November 4, 2016.
