Ant-Man may be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe soon, but we've got another classic Marvel hero on deck eyeballing his own spot on The Avengers. Doctor Strange, The Sorcerer Supreme (Benedict Cumberbatch), is getting his own movie late in 2016, and Tilda Swinton is coming along for the ride.
We've known for a while that she was in talks to play The Ancient One, mystical mentor to Strange and his nemesis, Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor). Now, in an interview with ScreenCrush, she's confirmed the casting.
"I’m a Marvel fan and I think this particular world that Doctor Strange goes into is really, really, really exciting. I’m really interested as both an actor and a fan to see what’s done in this particular world. It’s all about creativity. It’s not about everything exploding at the end. It’s about something very different. The idea of playing The Ancient One is really just too tickling. I can’t say no to that!"
Casting Tilda Swinton for The Ancient One is a pretty radical choice. Traditionally, the mystic has been portrayed as an older, Asian man which Swinton is not.
The reviews are rolling in after the early screening for Marvel's Doctor Strange, which comes out early November; and let's just say it sounds like the hype thus far is well-warranted. This list is for you, and all your hard work, and your shining awesome-ness Benedict Cumberbatch:

Seeing the good doctor working with a team will be an event indeed. Although he's worked with others in the past it will be interesting to see how he fits in with the others in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Marvel needs to hurry up and confirm someone for Doctor Strange. Every other day, there's another rumor about a different tall, dark and brooding actor set to play The Sorcerer Supreme. Today isn't any different.
Deadline is reporting that every girl's dream, Benny C, is already in talks with Marvel Studios. Kevin Feige's not so secret press conference is tomorrow, so there's hope that this'll finally be settled. Until then, we'll keep our skepticism:
For those of you hoping for a close-up look at Doctor Strange in action, here's your chance to see some lightening. Most of these images are just the concept art from the upcoming film, which looks great so far. It's set to release on November fourth this year.
