There's now just over a month to go until the release of Doctor Strange, and Empire Magazine has today revealed two very cool covers featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as the Sorcerer Supreme. The second is particularly noteworthy as it depicts the hero leading an impressive team made up of Chiwetel Ejiofor (Baron Karl Mordo), Tilda Swinton (The Ancient One), and Benedict Wong (Wong).
Expect more Doctor Strange images to be revealed when the issue hits stands next Thursday.
Doctor Strange follows the story of neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a horrific car accident, discovers the hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions. Set for release on November 4th, later this year, the cast includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwitel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, Michael Stuhlbarg, Mads Mikkelsen, Tilda Swinton, and maybe even Robert Downey Jr.
