Benedict Cumberbatch and those Pesky Doctor Strange Rumors

Posted on October 28, 2014 by Brett

At today’s Marvel event, Kevin Feige was asked about the casting, and who will play Doctor Strange. The question hints at the erroneous reports that Benedict Cumberbatch has been cast.

Feige’s response:

If it was confirmed, we would have announced it today.

Yesterday reports came out that Cumberbatch had been cast, while the original report says that only negotiations were occurring. Once again geek sites are putting the cart before the horse and trolling for clickbait.

We understand the difference between “negotiations” and “been cast.” When the casting is official, we will of course cover the news.

Stay tuned for more Marvel movie news!
