Marvel unveiled a newDoctor Strangeposter today, that shows how “self-centered” the good Doctor really is. The poster shows how theSorcerer Supremecan literally turn the world upside down, and make the entire world center around him, with world landmarks such as New York’s Freedom Tower and the London Bridge seen in the background. We’ll have to wait and see if these world-bending powers will be put on display in the movie itself when it hits theaters this November.
Marvel’sDoctor Strangefollows the story of the talented neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) who, after a tragic car accident, must put ego aside and learn the secrets of a hidden world of mysticism and alternate dimensions. Based in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Doctor Strange must act as an intermediary between the real world and what lies beyond, utilizing a vast array of metaphysical abilities and artifacts to protect the Marvel cinematic universe.Marvelhas set a November 4 release date forDoctor Strange, putting it up againstHacksaw RidgeandTrolls.
It was revealed last month that, during reshoots, Marvel brought inCommunitycreator Dan Harmon for some last-minute rewrites on the script. The writer also may have inadvertentlyleaked a huge spoilerduring his live Harmontown podcast at Comic-Con. After the news came out that he worked on the script, several fans revisited the panel video whereDan Harmonrevealed a photo of his own computer screen, which reveals a number ofDoctor Strangedocuments including one entitled “Strange Confronts Dormammu.” This was the first we had heard about Dormammu’s presence in the movie, but we still don’t know if it’s true, or who may be playing this villain.
TheDoctor Strangecast also includesChiwetel EjioforasBaron Mordo,Rachel McAdams, who is reportedly playing the Night Nurse,Michael Stuhlbarg,Amy LandeckerandScott Adkins.Scott Derricksondirects from a script he co-wrote withC. Robert Cargill, based on the Marvel Comics. The movie is the latest chapter in Marvel Phase 3, and is expected to introduce the Eye of Agamotto as the Time Stone, tying it directly intoAvengers: Infinity War.
There has also been speculation thatDoctor Strangemay introduce the Marvel Comics characterBrother Voodoo, who may have a very small and brief cameo appearance in the movie. His brother, Daniel Drumm, already appeared in theDoctor Strangeprelude comic book that was released last month, loosely teasing Brother Voodoo. While we wait for more details to be confirmed about this Marvel adventure, take a look at the newDoctor Strangeposter below.
