Oh wow. :/ I'm super disappointed in the cast for this movie, I won't lie. I might give it a watch, not sure yet.
Having listened to Cargill for several years, I feel confident in saying that the wifi line is 100% his kind of humor. Here's a video of him talking a lot of things Strange, including casting. Although, it's important to make clear that he had no say in casting; it was all done by the time he got onboard. He's mostly speculating.
After watching the second trailer I have to say, I'm pretty sure 75% of the budget went to the effects cuz holy crap they're really good. Unfortunately, I'm STILL not interested in this movie. Doctor Strange, as a comic book character, never really interested me and with Benedict Cumberbatch playing him, I think I'm less interested. Plus I'm really not happy with the whitewashing of the Ancient One. Will I still see it? I mean it's a Marvel movie and Cumberbatch has a multimovie contract (meaning he'll be back) so yeah, probably. Am I going to see it opening night? Oh hell nah. Oh and poor Mads Mikkelsen, his outfit is really O.o Does his comic book counterpart look anything like that?
