Love it or hate it, the casting choice of Benedict Cumberbatch of Marvel figure Doctor Strange seems to be paying off, at least in these early set photos.

Scott Derrickson the director posted this image on his twitter, showing off how surprisingly good Cumberbatch as Strange and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo look in costume:

How about this scene from Disney’s next big musical?

  I kid, I kid.

But WHAT ABOUT THESE SHOTS OF MADS MIKKELSEN AS THE YET UNNAMED VILLAIN?!?!

We’re still waiting to see Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One, but Doctor Strange opens in theaters on November 4th, 2016.
