Benedict Cumberbatch has revealed that he isn't worried about playing the comic-book character Doctor Strange because he is fully confident in Marvel Studios.
The actor told The Wall Street Journal: "I don't think it's a risk because of Marvel.
"Marvel is a stable of bringing out ordinary comic characters and turning them into screen-like gods."
The Sherlock star will take on the titular role in the upcoming comic book adaptation from filmmaker Scott Derrickson.
It follows Doctor Strange, a former neurosurgeon who was appointed as the Sorcerer Supreme and was the main protector for Earth against magical threats.
Cumberbatch added: "I'm really excited about it, about working with Scott, whose imagination is endless, and all the boys and girls at Marvel who know what they're doing."
