The Sweetie's worst nightmare has been confirmed: Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Doctor Strange.

Sweetie: I don't want Cumberbatch playing Doctor Strange! I'd rather they cast Howard Donald!

Ladies and gentlemen, Howard Donald exhibiting his considerable talents:



Oh, Howard.

I am strangely indifferent to the casting news which is not like me at all.

I suppose he is one of the Marvel characters I know very little about so I don't feel like I know enough to comment and say if I think it is good or bad. However I have been reading all the reasons why a good number of people are against the news to understand the reaction.

I'm mostly unmoved by the news because Doctor Strange is a character I only know because the Sweetie is always quoting his dorkier lines and therefore I have no emotional investment in any of it.

Unlike the Sweetie, who is massively upset because Strange is a character he adores, and would a Strange movie would have been the only MCU movie he'd have been enthusiastically interested in, except now not so much. Poor boy.
