First Glimpse Of Benedict Cumberbatch As DOCTOR STRANGE

Marvel's Doctor Strange is currently shooting in Nepal, and thanks to a Twitter user we have a set snap giving us our very first look at Benedict Cumberbatch as the Sorcerer Supreme. It's not the closest/clearest of shots, but you can check it out after the jump...

Again, not the greatest pic, but it still gives us an idea of how Benedict Cumberbatch will look as Dr. Steven Strange in the Marvel adaptation - out of costume, at any rate. From the looks of things the photographer went to a bit of trouble to get this shot so it's probably a pretty tight set, but if any more images become available we'll be sure to update. Thanks to Kindan for the heads up.

I don't understand why the hell marvel wouldn't release an official pic of cumberbatch as doctor stranger instead of shitty quality pics like this getting leaked being our first look at him makes no sense at tall

Hope they do a similar story as the one for the animated film a few years ago. That was a solid story!
