Cumberbatch debuted the world premiere of the trailer Wednesday evening on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and it looks like it will be a wild mystical ride. 

Just look at Cumberbatch's resemblance to the comic-book character — it's uncanny!

Who is this Doctor? First debuting in Marvel's "Strange Tales" comics in 1963, "Doctor Strange" will follow the affluent Doctor Stephen Strange, a brilliant, egotistical neurosurgeon who is left unable to operate after a car crash does severe damage to the nerves in his hands. In the comics, he becomes obsessed with finding a cure to restore his hands to their former surgical glory. After numerous searches wind up dry, he seeks out a sorcerer known as the Ancient One.

Unexpectedly, he ends up being taken under the Ancient One's wing and that's where his real adventure and purpose in life begin.
