I'm ambivalent on Cumberpatch being Strange.
What it seems to indicate to me is that they'll pay a little more for someone who might be a draw to those outside of the comic fandom, or rather they don't have to really win over the fans anymore because they'll clearly see anything Marvel makes now, and are trying to pull in other demographics, in this case PBS anglophiles with organic gardens in their backyard and volvos in the driveway (sweeping generalization!).

I think Bandicoot Crashposition will be fine in the role, but I have never been so bored at a casting decision Marvel has made. Never. There's zero surprise, zero intrigue, zero "You know I never thought about that before but it totally works", not even any "That's exactly who I wanted!" (*cough*Pascal*cough*Fehr)...he's just kinda there. Yeah, I suppose he'll be good. If the trailers look interesting or the reviews are mostly positive I'll probably see it.
But this just killed all hype for me. If they're going with such a boring and conventional choice for the lead, until I see something to say otherwise I have no faith that the actual movie will be the mindfuck a Doctor Strange film should be.
It tickles me that despite it being an awesome choice, they may have chosen the Pinocchio song to score the trailer because Disney own the rights anyway and they were over budget.

Can you point to that on a color chart?
...and when you are done with that; take a folding
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
Yeah that's a pretty danged nonsense choice. That's boring. That's a character who can be essentially anyone because who really gives a fuck and they went with him? Blugh.
Yeah the odds of them setting half the film in a swirling cacophony of Escher-esque nightmare are pretty low.
Probably more floating around. I should stress, I love Sherlock Holmes. But man, fuck Moffat's version of him, and fuck how engrossed everyone is in it.

Eh, Moffat's a tool and they did one widely acknowledged to be poor episode. Still the best series.
Also dominatrix Adler beats the hell outta stuffed in the fridge Adler.
The only thing I've seen him in was Star Trek Into Darkness, which I only saw once. Meh? Strange to me is best portrayed as Dr. Orpheus from Venture Bros, so I'm probably not the best to judge.
You really need to watch BBCs Sherlock.
Or you could just watch Luther. Or Elementary. Or anything less terribly gross.
when idris lost the emmy to benedict I cringe-laughed.
Like a bad joke.
He's amazing as Sherlock. Absolutely amazing.
Him being Dr. Strange makes me so damn happy.

Cumberbatch can do this, it's a role he's suited for. You're right that this was a safe choice.

But also an awesome one. The guy is an amazing actor. This may be one of the last times he gets to do something like this. We all know he's fated to earn himself an Oscar some day.
I can envision the post-credits sequence now. Close-up on a book with some connection to Doctor Strange. Somebody off-camera goes "Stephen?" The book shuts and is put down. And he goes, "Yes?"
That's really all we'd need.

I had no idea.
You know, I had wondered for a long time why Romana, an interesting and capable female Dr. Who character from the past, had never been featured in the modern series, but now I sadly know why. I'll be glad when Moffat is off the show and someone less misogynistic has the reigns.

Deadline and Variety are the two publications that are the source of all this and they're only saying he's in negotiations. If that's true (I don't assume that it is, considering the rumor mill that's surrounded this movie), I can't imagine Cumberbatch won't accept. He's shown a perfect willingness to be a part of big budget entertainment for long periods, unlike Phoenix.
If it does come to him accepting the role, I have very mixed feelings. I think Cumberbatch can pull off the stuffy, scholarly side of Strange just fine, and he'd be great as the arrogant young Strange from before his accident. I'm not so sure how well he'll handle the older, more world-weary Strange as Sorcerer Supreme, though. Strange should come across as a guy who had his mid-life crisis years ago. My own preference would be for an older character actor.
I used to be a diehard Cumberbitch, but even I'm getting a little fatigued by him turning up everywhere. He's a great actor, no question, but the choice was definitely 'safe.' I would have liked to see a person of color in the role, honestly. Nick Fury (Falcon and Gamora to lesser extents) being the sole minorities of The Avengers is pretty weak.
Uh, yeah, I don't give a shit if some feminist's think Moffat ruined Adler. Her bit was great, and in the end Sherlock was shown to have the same weakness.
Calling such a great show gross because of some pouty articles is ridiculous. Fact is, as long as any female character is interesting, there is no reason they have to fit a 100% pro-feminist agenda. Adler was interesting, in large because of her entanglement with Sherlock, and at the same time, she made Sherlock more interesting. That is a successful character, and that's all that should be expected of the show.

The concept of Oded Fehr as Strange has me licking the screen. That man's voice is honey. And he was Doctor Fate on Justice League. Basically the same thing.

I am of the opinion that Adler was one of the more feminist female characters Moffat has written. Oftentimes the actress playing the roles he write save the character (Karen Gillan as Amy Pond is a prime example), but Adler was fine. Being a dominatrix was her job, she did it because she enjoyed it, and that job afforded her many other luxuries and opportunities, which she also utilized for pleasure. Lara Pulver did a great job as Irene, what problems do people have with her? The lesbian vs. bisexual thing?
I don't know enough about Dr. Strange to comment on whether Cabbagepatch can do the part. When I think Dr. Strange, I just picture Dr. Venture's neighbour, or that part in House of M where Spiderman yells at him to remove his memories. That's the extent of my exposure to Strange. As far as Cummerbund goes, I like him, he's a good actor, but I feel like the media is over saturated with him. Sherlock became this huge thing, then he got to play Khan, and after that he got to play Smaug.
His career has blown up so much in just 4 years that he's already played 3 beloved characters with decades of history. Gimme a guy who's just Strange, because if he shows up and is the Bubblegum Candlewax I've seen (or heard) already, you're not doing the character justice. Don't hire someone who can outshine his role.

People were really angry about the depiction of Adler? Really?
Benedict Cumberbach is a great actor. His Khan was the best part of that movie.

Adler was annoying for the same reason River Song was annoying, overly flirty crazy impulsive does not a strong female character make.
Clumberhutch should be fine, I'm still burned at losing out on Joaquin Phoenix.
I dug his Khan, even if I think he was miscast. I feel like he was far enough from the original Khan that he could've just been his own character and avoided that asinine controversy.

he just has a lot of online presence because there are hordes of tumblr creatures flicking their beans at him
he could definitely be a great dr. strange - he has that sort of towering, bizarre presence
dr. strange really would be a great opportunity to cast someone who isn't white, though, as are most of the less established characters. less likely to provoke people to rail against the sinister progressive agenda.

He's got a good little career going, but I don't know that he's everywhere.
I think he's a decent actor, I just don't quite get the level of obsession people have with him. I mean, there are many other, bolder choices they could've gone with. Say what you will about the quality of the DC Movieverse, but choices like Jason Mamoa as Aquaman or Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor are bold, weird choices that have my attention.
I suppose he's sort of pulled it back in the past year or so. At the height of Star Trek 2 madness, people were complaining that they were sick of him.
