I'm pretty juiced, because this is one of my favorite characters. So much potential here. Hopefully it won't be squandered like the Thor potential. Not really sold on Cumberbatch as Strange yet, but the trailer looks dope.

White man travels to the far reaches of Tibet to be taught arcane knowledge from the one white woman who also happens to live in the far reaches of Tibet.
And for the record Thor was not squandered potential -- the sequel maybe, but overall? Nah.

I think they r scared of that magical Asian stereotype.....They figured if they use a woman they would be protected from that side-eye ....It's going to be interesting to see how Benedict Wong portrays Strange's right hand man.....

Yeah...I think Marvel thought they were immune on this front since they went with a female actress.....I think the criticism is not as harsh as the Ghost In The Shell though...There were reports that the film makers were looking for ways to make Scar Jo look "more Asian"....THAT'S crazy....

Yeah I liked the first one even tho it could have been better. 2nd one was trash for many reasons... mainly the story being centered around his love interest.

Ugh... and she's got a British or Aussie accent too.
Can Marvel's movies even kinda stick to the stories??? He's supposed to learn from the Ancient One, not The Random Broad. This is about as bad as Iceman being a kid in the X Men.
