If you thought Marvel Studios would slow down this year after CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, you’re in for a surprise. As several major studios release big trailers at San Diego Comic-Con 2016, Marvel throws down a new one for their next big release, DOCTOR STRANGE. Benedict Cumberbatch stars in the lead role with Scott Derrickson (SINISTER) as director. This is definitely one of the more weird Marvel Comics characters, and the trailer doesn’t shy away from the unusual aspects of that story. Looks great to us, though I wonder if most of what we’ll see is Strange training to use his powers, rather that actually fighting evil as “Doctor Strange” in full costume. The supporting cast is quite impressive – a bald Tilda Swinton stars as the Ancient One, Chiwetel Ejiofor plays Mordo, and Michael Stuhlbarg, Benedict Wong, Rachel McAdams, Scott Adkins, Amy Landecker, and Mads Mikkelsen also star. Take a look a the 2nd trailer and see what you think.
“Doctor Strange” follows the story of neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a horrific car accident, discovers the hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions.
“Doctor Strange” is the latest film in Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Phase 3’s goal—over the course of four years and nine films—is to introduce audiences to new heroes and continue the adventures of fan favorites.
