AceShowbiz - The first official looks at Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange have landed online. The first photo is featured on EW magazine's cover and the site has released five other images including some concept arts.
One of the photos sees the 39-year-old actor wearing a red cape as the titular superhero as he performs his magical abilities. "These gestures are ways of creating the magic. It's a beautiful thing, it's balletic, it's very dynamic," Cumberbatch said of the photo. "There's all sorts of craziness [in 'Doctor Strange']," he added. "Falling, flying, jumping, fighting, punching, getting punched. It's really rough and tumble."
Coming along with the photos are three concept arts, one of which gives a look at what appears to be an underground room consisting of ancient stuff. There are also two other concept arts which feature the doctor turning his body upside down in a mind-blowing surrounding and waking up in a hospital seemingly in the aftermath of an accident.

"[He] believes that the Ancient One is just protecting her own power base and that the world may be better off if we were to allow some of these other things through," producer Kevin Feige explained.
The producer also provided some information about Rachel McAdams' role in the movie. "Rachel McAdams plays a fellow surgeon that has a history with Strange and is his sort of lynchpin to his old life, once he steps into he role of a sorcerer," Feige teased. "She is someone he connects with at the beginning, and reconnects with, and helps anchor his humanity."
"Rachel McAdams is sort of [Doctor Strange's] contemporary in the modern-day New York world, before and after he goes on this crazy journey," executive producer Stephen Broussard hinted. "So, she sees him before, she sees him after. She's kind of this audience point of view."
"Doctor Strange" follows the titular neurosurgeon as he loses the use of his hands after a severe accident. While traveling to Tibet, he encounters the Ancient One, who turns him into a Sorcerer Supreme to defend the world against evil. Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Michael Stuhlbarg are also in the cast of the superhero flick that will open in U.S. theaters on November 4, 2016.
