A few images of Benedict Cumberbatch as the Sorcerer Supreme have been revealed of late but Marvel have officially lifted the lid on Doctor Strange with a few new images to boot, including previously unreleased concept art.
Cumberbatch’s Strange wont be alone in his fight as Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Baron Mordo and Tilda Swinton’s the Ancient One round up the good guys, with Mads Mikkelsen mysterious villain looking to wreck havoc over the talented surgeons life. True Detective star Rachel McAdams has also been cast in the film as a “fellow surgeon that has a history with Strange” who serves as “his sort of lynchpin to his old life” before he became a Sorcerer.
Doctor Strange will be the first origin tale in Phase 3 of Marvels’ intergalactic Cinematic universe and will introduce magic into a superhero world full of super-soldiers, Billionaire inventors and Hulking monsters. “We don’t want to shy away from that, because that’s what makes Doctor Strange Doctor Strange,” confided Marvel Producer Kevin Fiege. “He has a Cloak of Levitation that allows him to fly, but he doesn’t fly like Superman or like Thor.”
Fiege also revealed in his interview with Entertainment Weekly that Stranges’ signature idol, The Eye of Agamatto, will feature heavily in the film granting Steven the ability to “manipulate probabilities” even “screw around with time’ — which is part of our story.”
Fans have theorised that The Eye likely is an Infinity Stone – the Time Stone – coveted by Thanos which will have to show up in the series of films before The Avengers ultimate showdown in The Infinity War scheduled for release in 2018.
Doctor Strange is slated for release in theatres November 4, 2016.
