It’s been quite a while since we’ve heard anything about the upcoming Doctor Strange, but with filming set to begin in November in the UK, a bit more casting news has come our way. According to THR, Tilda Swinton (Only Lovers Left Alive, Snowpiercer) is on her way to the Marvel Universe.
The actress is in negotiations to join Benedict Cumberbatch in Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange, being directed by Scott Derrickson and produced by Kevin Feige. If cast, she’ll portray the Ancient One, a Tibetan mystic and Strange’s mentor. In the comics the character is male.
Doctor Strange is Marvel’s supernatural hero, a formerly cocky surgeon who loses the use of his hands and, during a last ditch attempt to heal himself, discovers magic.
The film’s scheduled release date is November 4, 2016.
