Cumberbatch discussed how he was recruited to join the MCU as the famous sorcerer and the pressures that come with playing such a beloved character. In addition to the pressure, Cumberbatch admitted that he initially felt Doctor Strange was an outdated and sexist character, which he said contributed to his doubts about accepting the role.

The 24-year-old was at the end of his contract with Dutch club Ajax. He joins compatriot Lazar Markovic, whose move from Partizan Belgrade was confirmed on Monday. Last year’s Primeira Liga runners-up also recently signed attacking midfielder Filip Djuricic from Dutch club Heerenveen while Nemanja Matic has been in Portugal since 2011. 0 votes

Well, in the strictest sense, there is the fact Mr. Burfict still is very much alive. And beyond that, no matter how great the TV comedy is, we have no evidence “Ghosts” really are a thing. What happened in the final seconds of the Chiefs’ 23-20 AFC championship game victory Sunday over the Bengals so resembled Cincinnati’s stupefying defeat in the 2015 wild-card round against the Steelers, and what happened in that game was so uncommon, it’s almost beyond belief the same thing could happen to the same franchise....

Wins are great, but much more goes into players' draft evaluations, which is likely why the 2013 Heisman Trophy runner up slipped to the Cincinnati Bengals with the 164th overall pick. But perhaps McCarron would have graded better on film had he been healthy in college. In a recent interview on SiriusXM NFL Radio, he claimed he was not. "A lot of people don't realize I wasn't healthy at Alabama," McCarron said....

The Blues, coached by Marco Pezzaiuoli, will be looking to extend their impressive run, especially after ending Kerala Blasters FC’s winning streak in their last game. The club is in great shape heading into this contest. Pezzaiuoli’s troops are on an eight-match unbeaten run, having recovered from a hat-trick of defeats to turn their season on its head. They are fourth in the league table with 20 points from 14 games....

The Magpies looked like making it back-to-back Premier League wins after Dwight Gayle twice pounced on poor goalkeeping from Asmir Begovic. Bournemouth pushed to find a way back into the game, and a lifeline arrived courtesy of a fantastic long-range effort from Adam Smith 10 minutes from time. And parity was restored in the 89th minute as former Newcastle midfielder Dan Gosling turned home from Nathan Ake’s ball into the box....

Benzema, 31, joined Madrid in 2009 and has gone on to carve out a fine career at the Santiago Bernabeu. Arguably the most impressive aspect of Benzema’s Madrid career has been his ability to rediscover his best form after struggling in the 2016-17 and 2017-18 campaigns, scoring only 16 goals across 61 matches. Last term he found the net 21 times and he has started the new campaign in solid fashion as well, scoring four goals in as many games, including a brace in Saturday’s 3-2 win over Levante....

Four anonymous people told CNN that Sanders made the comment during a December 2018 meeting between the two Democratic senators at her apartment in Washington. The “longtime friends” met to hash out plans to take on President Donald Trump and the likelihood the two of them would ultimately end up fighting for the nomination. Sanders reportedly responded to Warren’s pitch about reviving the economy and appealing to female voters by telling her “he did not believe a woman could win” in 2020....

Sanders’ mittens and the rest of his attire at the inauguration quickly sparked countless memes on social media. The senator appeared to be wearing the same jacket that previously featured in a series of memes based on his presidential campaign fundraising ads, but his thick knit mittens stood out the most. During a CBS interview with Gayle King, Sanders insisted that his clothing choices were primarily intended to shield him from the chilly weather....

Shortly before Sanders’ retraction, Uygur announced that he was rejecting all endorsements he’d received so far, claiming he wanted to be free of influence. Thursday, Sanders gave his endorsement to founder of The Young Turks Cenk Uygur his political endorsement. Friday, Uygur announced that not only was he rejecting Sanders’ endorsement, but would not be accepting any endorsements from anyone. “I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the endorsements of Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Nina Turner & local progressive groups that gave me their support,” Uygur tweeted....

In an MSNBC interview, the Vermont independent appeared angered by the resistance of Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) to the massive $1.75 trillion social care package the Biden administration is trying to pass. The legislation—which requires all 50 senators caucusing with the Democrats to pass via the reconciliation process—has been hampered by Manchin and Sinema who have objected to aspects of the bill. President Joe Biden has hinted that the bill widening the social safety net will not pass by the end of the year as hoped....

Howland, fired two years ago by UCLA, is nearing an agreement to become Mississippi State’s coach, according to CBS and ESPN. Howland, 57, has a 399-208 record in stints at UCLA, Pittsburgh and Northern Arizona. He has reached the NCAA Tournament 10 times in 17 seasons and led UCLA to the Final Four in 2006, 2007 and 2008, falling to Florida in the 2006 title game.

Variety has revealed that legendary actor Kingsley is on track to reprise his role as actor Trevor Slattery, a character who first appeared in Iron Man 3. Slattery was pretending to be terrorist leader The Mandarin but was quite a comical character actor hired to portray the criminal. The actor’s casting as The Mandarin was initially criticized because he is not of Asian descent, but the reveal of his character’s plot twist quelled the backlash at the time....

“I care about a lot of the people, but I don’t really care about the censure,” Sasse told Politico ahead of the Nebraska GOP’s decision. The state GOP, however, decided not to censure Sasse, but noted its disapproval of the senator’s actions, arguing that Sasse wasn’t representing his constituents’ desires. “There are a lot of really good people involved in party activism. But I don’t think they’re at all representative of regular Nebraskans,” Sasse continued....

Benedetto ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament during Boca Juniors’ 2-1 defeat at home to Racing on Sunday – a result that ended their 100 per cent start to the campaign. The 27-year-old equalised from the penalty spot earlier in the contest to move on to nine goals from as many matches in Argentina’s Primera Division this season, a run that prompted links with Sevilla and Borussia Dortmund. Benedetto’s form also earned him a starting spot in Argentina’s final two World Cup qualifiers against Peru and Ecuador, with the likes of Mauro Icardi and Paulo Dybala consigned to the bench....

The winner of this two-legged tie will secure their place in their playoffs, the final step before making it into the group stage. Benfica finished third in the Primeira Liga last season to secure a direct place in the third-round qualifying fixtures. Midtjylland played out draws in their second-round qualifying fixtures against AEK Larnaca and the winner of the tie had to be decided on penalties. They managed to convert four of their five penalties to secure a 4-3 win over the Cypriot side....

Yet the Bengals still had a chance to win with Joe Burrow. Re-watching and breaking down all those judgment calls isn’t going to help now. It won’t hide the obvious call on linebacker Joseph Ossai that set up Kansas City’s game-winning field goal against Cincinnati in a 23-20 AFC championship victory. The Bengals missed a second Super Bowl shot with Burrow, but he believes there is more to come. “I feel great about the direction we’re headed, that’s the great thing about the NFL: it’s not college where you only have four years — you have as many years as you want to,” Burrow said....

Many members of the Bengals attended an afterparty at which Ohio native Kid Cudi performed in wake of their Super Bowl loss. That included quarterback Joe Burrow, who was seen onstage during Kid Cudi’s performance. The Bengals and Burrow didn’t catch a lot of flak for their post-loss outing, but some fans were a bit irked by videos of the team partying after the defeat.

Cincinnati will have a top-five pick once again and they are well-positioned to continue adding to their offense. They did add a bunch of players in free agency on defense, so the team could be in good shape if they can have a solid draft and fill the remaining needs they have, particularly on offense. The No. 1 thing on their mind should be the offensive line. Here’s a look at the Bengals’ picks in the 2021 NFL Draft:...
