Marvel is finally giving its lesser superheroes the time to shine and one of the productions latest bet is Doctor Strange. After several months of speculations on who will be casted for the lead role, Sherlock's Benedict Cumberbatch lands as the Sorcerer Supreme. Will he find love together with magic in this movie? Who will be casted to play as his love interest, a plot that would most likely be released in the cinemas?
Benedict Cumberbatch is in awe after being officially announced as the lead star for the upcoming Marvel movie. Is Marvel putting their hopes to high on him and Dr. Strang's' capabilities to catch the hearts of cinema goers? "I don't think it's a risk because of Marvel. Marvel is a stable of bringing out ordinary cosmic characters and turning them into screen-like gods. It's very different, it's an Astral Plane," Cumberbatch shared.
Benedict is even serious meditating a lot and practices teachings of Tibetan Buddhist monks nowadays to prepare for the role.
Filming of the movie will start this May 2015 but a few details about the plot and who will play the better half of Dr. Strange remains unknown. In the comic books, Dr. Stephen Vincent Strange is romantically involved with Morgana Blessing. Morgana is a human but has a vast knowledge in the occult and in the astral world. She is the love interest of Dr. Strange up until his second death. Marvel will most likely play along with this plot to give a better glimpse on the life of Dr. Strange after acquiring his knowledge and powers revolving around the mystic arts.
His life during his glorious days as a neurosurgeon will be revealed in the movie. After an unlikely car accident, he loses the one thing he values the most, his hands. In search for a possible cure, scientific or magical, he ends up in the Himalayas where something beyond a cure is waiting. He meets the Ancient One and will successfully master the magical arts, something more valuable than what he had bargained for.
"Doctor Strange" will be released on cinemas on November 4, 2016.
