Martin Freeman Cast in Captain America: Civil War

Martin Freeman from Sherlock and The Hobbit has been cast in Captain America: Civil War, the upcoming Captain America film that takes place in the aftermath of Age of Ultron. According to IGN.com, Martin Freeman might be playing "Everett K. Ross, a U.S. State Department official and expert on all matters related to Wakanda." Wakanda is the fictional African country that the Black Panther is from in the comics, and Black Panther will be introduced in Civil War. Therefore, one would assume that Freeman will play a role in Panther's movie as well. However, other rumors have speculated that Freeman might even play Uncle Ben, the uncle of Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man (not that everyone did not already know this). Of course, both of these are just rumors, but what has been essentially confirmed is that Freeman will play a part in the MCU, and as a fan of the actor, that is never a bad thing. If Cumberbatch would officially sign onto the role of Doctor Strange, we might just have yet another Cumberbatch/Freeman team up, haha. Either way, I am excited to see who he plays. Maybe, Freeman will be like Coulson to Black Panther's character, which could be interesting. 

Please note that I am still trying to go see Age of Ultron, but there have been some complications in my personal life delaying my viewing of it. However, I hope to finally see it tonight or at least by the end of the week.

Benedict Cumberbatch is Marvel's Doctor Strange?

Before Marvel’s big announcement of their Phase 3 film lineup, which you can read about here, a rumor about Benedict Cumberbatch coming close to closing a deal with Marvel to play Doctor Strange was leaked. If you remember any of my early posts about the Doctor Strange film, Cumberbatch was at the top of my personal fantasy casting, as well as many other fans, and it seems that Marvel cannot stop pleasing its audience. After Marvel announcing that we essentially got everything we wanted in the Phase 3 lineup, Marvel will also hopefully finish the deal with Cumberbatch. Considering Doctor Strange's character in the comics, Cumberbatch is the best possible choice, aside from maybe Viggo Mortensen. Back around Comic-Con, Joaquin Phoenix was rumored to play Doctor Who, but apparently, a deal could not be closed, which is probably for the best considering his inability to be a team player. As for Cumberbatch, all he needs to do is grow a mustache and change his hair a bit, and he is the perfect Doctor Strange. What do you think about the casting? Please comment below and let me know. Also, please do not forget to check back Tuesday and Friday for my breakdown of Marvel Phase 3.
