If this trailer is anything to go by, Marvel is meeting Inception with Doctor Strange, and Benedict Cumberbatch is going to have a slightly odd American accent. It does look pretty cool – if strange – though.
Cumberbatch plays Stephen Vincent Strange, a former neurosurgeon who becomes the next Sorcerer Supreme and primary protector of Earth against magical and mystical threats. Tilda Swinton will play Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, while Chiwetel Ejiofor will appear as Baron Mordo, who also studies magic under the Ancient One, before becoming Doctor Strange’s nemesis. Mads Mikelsen is also onboard to play one of the main villains, as you will see in the trailer, while Rachel McAdams is Christine Palmer.
Scott Derrickson is directing the movie. It’ll be in cinemas November 2016. [Read more…]

Despite the somewhat muted response to Batman v Superman, plans are still going full steam ahead for a Justice League movie, and to get fanboys excited, Warner Bros. unveiled a sizzle reel at Comic-Com. Luckily for us, they’ve put it on the internet so we can all take a look.
While Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman was introduced earlier this year in Batman v Superman, but while we’ve known she was getting a standalone adventure and have had a couple of pictures, it’s only know we get our first proper look at the movie. To tie-in with Comic Con the debut trailer has arrived.
