The star of "Sherlock" became a superhero

Entertainment Weekly published a new issue of exclusive photos of Benedict Cumberbatch, showing how the actor will look like in the image of the superhero of Dr. Strange in the film adaptation of the popular comics.

Role for Cumberbatch

Studio Marvel entrusted the work on the film to director Scott Derrickson, who shot "The Day the Earth Stood Still." In addition to Cumberbatch in the film, which will be released in November next year, viewers will see Civetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton, Mads Mikkelsen, Michael Stalberg and other stars.

The bosses of Marvel were interested in the fact that Benedikt was shot in the film and patiently waited until he finished work in other projects, said the producer of "Doctor Strange" Kevin Feigi.
