Get Thee to a Tumblr-y: Benedict Cumberbatch May Join DOCTOR STRANGE!

Hoo, boy. Two incredible sagas come to a close on today’s Nerdist News, and both are rather…Strange. Dare you follow Jessica Chobot, Dan Casey, and Malik Forte into the House of Horrors?

On today’s show, the team finally begins to unravel the mystery of our ghostly guest, and after months and months of rumors, we finally get to celebrate the fact that none other than Benedict Cumberbatch is in talks to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Doctor Strange! Why is he the right choice for the job? Will there be mustaches? Does he well and truly look like an otter? You’ll just have to kick your case of the Mondays to the curb, because today’s episode of Nerdist News is an all-timer.

Thanks for watching the show, don’t forget to watch CM Punk complete the Walking Dead Challenge, and let us know in the comments below how you like Brandywine Clambersnitch as Doctor Strange!

    You guys left the doors open. rude guest much.

    Aidan Gillen, for the Sorcerer Supreme, without a doubt.  Cumberbatch = GALACTUS (with the purple helmet).  Honestly, with that voice and gravitas, he can eat planets and command a theater!

  4. With all the rumors as of late, I’m still waiting for the official Marvel word; but I agree and truly hope this is true. I’ve been pulling for him for a while now and absolutely agree with Jess that one episode of Sherlock is all you need to see why he’s an excellent choice.
