Marvel is definitely pumping up its list of movies lined up for the third phase of its Cinematic Universe.

And one of the movies included in it is "Doctor Strange," which will star Benedict Cumberbatch as the Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange.

While not much has been revealed about the details of the movie, new reports claim that highly acclaimed actress Tilda Swinton is in talks to play a role in the movie.

Hollywood Reporter exclusively reported that "the actress is in negotiations to join Benedict Cumberbatch in Marvel Studios'Doctor Strange, being directed by Scott Derrickson."

And as for her role, the 54-year-old British actress is reportedly going to play a challenging role.

"The actress is negotiations to portray the Ancient One, the Tibetan mystic who is a mentor to Dr. Strange," the publication revealed.

Together with Swinton, main man Benedict Cumberbatch is reportedly gearing up to portray the role of Stephen Strange.

The English actor is reportedly going to follow the footsteps of  Marvel's Thor, Captain America and Star Lord played by Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans and Chris Pratt as he tries to beef up for the movie.

Reportedly, the 38-year-old English actor is determined to bring justification to the all-buffed dark superhero by "wolfing double the daily amount of calories and spending hours with a personal trainer," according to The Sun.

Adding, "Dr Strange was always muscly in the cartoons so Benedict has to look the part when they start filming in the autumn.

"Skinny Sherlock Holmes will be the last thing anyone thinks about."

"Doctor Strange" release date is set on Nov. 4, 2016.
