Since the casting announcement ofBenedict Cumberbatchas Stephen Strange in Marvel’sDoctor Strange, we have all been curious as to what the Sorcerer Supreme would look like in the upcoming film, and now Marvel has decided to put speculations to rest with the reveal of thefirst official image of Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange. The reveal comes via an EW cover, where Cumberbatch is in full costume and ready to get mystical in the MCU. Shortly after the initial reveal, aset of new imageswas released giving us more looks at a spell-casting Cumberbatch and what we can expect from the look of the film.
In otherDoctor Strangenews, there was also confirmation thatactorMads Mikkelsenis indeed playing the main villainin the film, and though no character name is revealed, he is described as “a sorcerer who breaks off into his own sect”.Rachel McAdams’ roleinDoctor Strangehas also been surrounded by mystery, but it has now been revealed that she will be playing “a fellow surgeon that has a history with Strange and is his sort of lynchpin to his old life”, but no specific character was named in this case either.

‘Batman v Superman’: New Image Reveals Batcave
A big part of the Batman character is where he spends his time when he’s not out on the streets fighting crime, meaning the Batcave, and while we have gotten some peeks atBen Affleck’s Batcave fromBatman v Supermanin the trailers, it’s nice to get a broad look at where the latest Batman puts on his cape and cowl with the reveal of anew image. The image features a very open, well-light, glass-covered Batcave which I think suits the style of the Batman we will see on screen this year.
‘Deadpool’: New Images Released
It has been a superhero images kind of week and the superhero movie with perhaps the cleverest marketing campaign,Deadpool, couldn’t start this year unnoticed and released new images of its own. From the set of images released, we got a look at what appears to bea promising fightbetween a katana-wielding Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and an ax-wielding Ajax (Ed Skrein).Other images releasedfeature Colossus (Stefan Kapicic), Angel Dust (Gina Carano), and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand) in a New Mutants costume.
‘Wonder Woman’: Set Videos Show Gal Gadot and Chris Pine
Patty Jenkins’Wonder Womanis currently shooting, and we got a look into the production with the reveal of a couple ofset videos. Rumors that recent images confirmed pointed at the film at some point taking place sometime during WWI, and these set videos further support that. Not a lot is going on during the captured shoots, but we do get a small look atChris Pine’s Steve Trevor withGal Gadot’s Wonder Woman.
