Filming is currently underway for Marvel's DOCTOR STRANGE, and while the bulk of it will be shot at Pinewood-Shepperton Studios, there is some on-location shooting going on in Nepal. Thanks to Twitter user Prayush Khadka, we now have our first look at Benedict Cumberbatch as the Sorcerer Supreme . . . albeit pre-Supreme-ness.

As we've heard before, Cumberbatch will definitely be rocking the traditional look when it comes to Strange, albeit with some modern-sensibilities mixed in for good measure. I know origin stories can sometimes feel like a chore when it comes to these flicks, but I think DOCTOR STRANGE goes to some really unique places that audiences will be willing to witness I mean, c'mon…it's Cumberbatch!

DOCTOR STRANGE will open on November 4, 2016.
