Interesting casting news.

Also, I just was chuckling about those pictures. Another high collar for Benedict!

The pictures are magnificent! I just can't help but goig back to look at them over and over again. I am so excited for this film!

These pictures actually saved me from having a panic attack this evening. I was on my way home and the station isn't the nicest place at night. I got scared and I grabbed my phone. These pics were first on my FB timeline.

*dances* He looks awesome!

I forgot to comment on Mads. I'm excited he's in it! Danish papers are already writing about it!

... Though I will always prefer his brother. Mads is good, especially lately. For some reason he works a lot better in foreign films rather than Danish ones. I will never forget about him being 'sweaty Svend' with a sausage on his forehead... but I hope this will forever banish that image from my head!

He looks hot, exactly like I wanted him to be. If I go to the cinema to watch comic adaptation stuff, at least he should look amazing, in case the script is shit.

Good point.
Though I don't know if Benedict would be prepared to work on a bad script.

**Posted by Ivy** January 4, 2016 3:10 pm

He could do it for fun and the action, but because we talking about Ben I hope it is well written.

**Posted by besleybean** January 4, 2016 3:14 pm

He could have taken the job for any number of reasons.
But he certainly doesn't need to take any work he doesn't want to.

I have faith in Ben's judgement... but one never knows.

**Posted by Vhanja** January 7, 2016 1:54 pm

I think it's a bit funny that Ben doesn't want to be typecast as the "eccentric genius" and is adamant opposed to such a term, yet he keeps accepting roles that falls under that category.

Not a criticism of his acting choices, I think he's awesome. Just a bit funny.

**Posted by Vhanja** January 7, 2016 2:26 pm

Well, eccentric doesn't have to mean arrogant.

I love the MCU and Benedict looks spot on as Doctor Strange. 90% of the MCU movies have been wonderful fun (IMHO) so I really look forward to what Ben can do as a superhero.

**Posted by Lilythiell** January 11, 2016 8:35 pm

Apparently, Ben will be shooting for Doctor Strange at Exeter College tomorrow.

Lovely!

*rubs hands together and hopes for more pics...*

We haven't got these in the thread yet, right? Just saw this on Tumblr. Aren't they cute?

I adore her cupcakes, and these are so cute!
