She's so talented! And what a cute way to become internet-famous! Whenever anything new happens we are all waiting for the cupcake!

Thing is I actually don't even eat cupcakes and I actually never think of her bringing the next one out.
But when she does, they are always fantastic.

I always wait for the cupcake!

And I have to say it's one of the better ways of internet fame!

Agreed, it's such a nice thing to be famous for.

Is that a coincidence with the name? But interesting news!

That reminds me of the time I got cast in a play just because I shared my name with the character.

**Posted by besleybean** January 31, 2016 11:45 am

Yes, I believe this does happen!

Someone snapped this picture very recently, does anyone know where they are filming Doctor Strange at the moment?

They are filming in London, making it look like NYC. Here is a video:

*Thuds* now that's a hunk of a superhero!!

Amazing video too. I'm amazed how much work goes into one short scene like that!
And so fascinating to watch Ben work. He seems so focused!

Good stuff.

Thanks for sharing the video from that guy's Periscope. His comments are so funny and it's also interesting to see how things are going.

"That's Cumberbatch over there"
"Benedict Cumberbatch and some other guy"
"I don't know what the film is."
"The only famous actor is Benedict Cumberbatch and I want to say what's-his-name from 12 Years a Slave but he looks too young to be that guy." (joke's on you, Ejiofor is in the film)
"That's Cumberbatch and the other guy"
"I think it's Doctor Strange."
"They made a mess."
"E-von-cheetl, the guy from 12 Years a Slave." Dear lord. And then he finally got it, thanks to a viewer.
"I guess it's something to do with Doctor Strange."
"I gotta say Cumberbatch looks pretty good there!"
"Nobody's dead, it's an actor."

Benedict looks pretty good in the costume, though watching the video the cape looks a bit ridiculous when he's just walking around between takes, though I feel like that stuff looks cool when you actually watch a film.

If they're trying to make it look like NYC, do you think Benedict will be doing an American accent for this? The thought never occurred to me until today.

Also, I wonder if there will be any b-roll footage of this particular shot.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** February 21, 2016 4:11 pm

I hope he get's to keep the British accent!!

**Posted by besleybean** February 21, 2016 4:14 pm

Erm, as in English accent?! Ha.

**Posted by Yitzock** February 21, 2016 4:33 pm

Are there any Marvel superheroes right now that don't have an American accent? In that case, Benedict could provide some variety. I'm not familiar with the comics, but I don't know if there's anything that says he can't be English.

Thanks for sharing that video Susi. I wonder where the questions were coming from, that the guy was answering as he filmed it. Seemed like he was broadcasting it live.
I think I read somewhere that the character Doctor Steven Strange is English.

**Posted by Yitzock** February 21, 2016 9:46 pm

He had previously streamed it live on the app Periscope. You can stream video you are filming on your phone and people watching can comment while watching. The video would have been saved afterwards so that it could be posted on YouTube.
