Benedict Cumberbatch has been the top of Marvel's and fans list to play the Sorcerer Supreme in an upcoming Doctor Strange film. Well, news came out that Benedict Cumberbatch would be attending his very first Comic-Con this weekend and it seemed that the stars have aligned for an official announcement by Marvel.
