The cover of this week's edition of Entertainment Weekly features the first glimpse of Benedict Cumberbatch in character as Doctor Strange.

Doctor Strange is probably Marvel's biggest gamble yet, (yes even bigger than Ant-Man!) and many fans will be curious to see both the character's look and how they plan introduce the Sorcerer Supreme to a relatively grounded and realistic Marvel Cinematic Universe. Well the former question has been answered at the very least. 

 

We have to say we completely dig it. Cumberbatch very much looks the part and we're very excited to see a trailer. For those of you not familiar with the character, the comics origins begin when famed neurosurgeon Stephen Strange ruins his career after an unfortunate auto accident. The magic stuff comes into play when Strange encounters an ancient being in search of a way to heal himself.

Rachel McAdams and Mads Mikkelsen will offer support in as yet unconfirmed roles.
