I was referring to the comment about Idris Elba, but I feel agree that I don't think I would want to see Benedict play Bond.

Sorry for double posting, but I have a feeling that even if I don't like the movie that his performance will still likely be good.

Likewise.
I also completely forgot about it..
Hubby is ordering me Black Mass for my birthday.
I looked to see if Hollow Crown is available to pre-order, but it doesn't seem to be.
Is this available yet?
Because even if it is, it may be too late.
I already spent all of my birthday money on Amazon, this morning!

And now for another edit of Benedict to look like Strange courtesy of dusky. I think this might be my favourite one yet.

Ohhh! That edit is gorgeous!

I just got into the Marvel fandom a few months ago and I can't tell you how excited I am to see Ben play Doctor Strange

Cool.

Anyone going to be in NYC this weekend?

People in the know say that "Checkmate" is the code name for "Doctor Strange"

**Posted by SusiGo** March 31, 2016 6:23 am

Not sure about that. Sherlock filming starts next week. On Sunday there will be the Olivier awards. And someone from the film team tweeted some time ago that they had wrapped. Maybe some additional shots but I do not think Benedict will be in them.

I had seen a tweet about Benedict being spotted out and about in NY so I thought it was a possibility... I've also seen somewhere that he isn't attending the Oliviers... who knows

He is in New York with his family. Seems to be a holiday before filming starts again

**Posted by gently69** March 31, 2016 8:26 am

I also think it's a holiday. Maybe Benedict ended filming Dr. Strange there and is joined by his family then for a few lazy days.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** March 31, 2016 8:57 am

If it is a holiday that's much deserved for them!

**Posted by SusiGo** March 31, 2016 10:45 am

He was seen dancing and at an opera and pushing the pram. So I would bet on a holiday.

**Posted by tonnaree** March 31, 2016 12:07 pm

He looks so perfect as Dr. Strange. Fit's the character to a T.

It says in the link they are from today.

Yes, apparently they are filming there today. I saw a picture on Tumblr that was fuzzy.

They must be getting into some of the more intense scenes, since Benedict has "blood" on his face.
I have to say both of them look pretty cool in their costumes.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** April 2, 2016 3:23 pm

I never like seeing blood on that pretty face... but I know it's for a film. He looks amazing in character! Very cartoon like, in a good way!

**Posted by SolarSystem** April 2, 2016 3:24 pm

They both look absolutely cool. And Benedict... well, he almost looks better than I had hoped for.

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** April 2, 2016 3:28 pm

I know I will need a bucket of popcorn when I go see this at the cinema... just to have something to collect the drool.
