Benedict Cumberbatch has finally shared his thoughts about Marvel's "Doctor Strange" movie.
"Excited, really excited, you know," "The Imitation Game" star said when asked about how he feels in his upcoming project at the British Independent Film Awards as reported by Mirror.
"There's a lot of work to be done and I'm just at the beginning of it all so I'm not going to talk too much about it's a thrilling gig to get and I can't wait. Very excited."
While Cumberbatch refused to give out further details about the upcoming project, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has previously expressed his confidence in the 38-year-old British actor.
"Stephen Strange's story requires an actor capable of great depth and sincerity," Feige said. "In 2016, Benedict will show audiences what makes Doctor Strange such a unique and compelling character."
Feige further explained the importance of "Doctor Strange" to the Marvel Cinematic Universe during his interview with Screen Rant.
"With Strange, it is a classic Marvel origin story because he's got one of the best origins ever," he explained.
"And it's our opportunity to take that left turn into the supernatural. Now, what is the definition of supernatural? It varies. We like the idea of playing with alternate dimensions. The very sort of crazy - [Steve] Ditko crazy acid trip way of traveling through dimensions and traveling through other realms is something that we think is very, very cool ... playing with the perceptions of reality."
No other cast has been confirmed in addition to "The Imitation Game" star Benedict Cumberbatch since "Doctor Strange" is still in its early stage of development, but it could be expected that names would come out in the coming months.
Marvel's "Doctor Strange" will reportedly hit cinemas sometime in November 2016.
