The Marvel Cinematic Universe keeps marching forward, even with, as some would say, their lesser echelon characters leading the way. In this case it’s Stephen Strange, coming at us in the upcoming fantasy tale, Doctor Strange. How exactly he’s going to fit into the MCU puzzle is still a closely guarded secret, but one thing will be certain: Audiences will be in for a mind-bending experience as the good doctor (played by Benedict Cumberbatch) is the master of the mystical arts. Expected, however, will be his origin story (as all the stand-alone Marvel hero pics have had like “Ant-Man,” “Iron Man” and “Captain America”) outlining how the arrogant, but gifted, surgeon lost the use of his hands and amidst searching the globe for a way to regain use of them comes to find himself under the tutelage of The Ancient One (played by Tilda Swinton). This trailer, courtesy of Marvel Entertainment, offers a brief glimpse of what’s to come. Check it out.
Doctor Strange stars Rachel McAdams, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, Mads Mikkelsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Scott Adkins, Michael Stuhlbarg and Benedict Wong.
Official Synopsis:
After his career is destroyed, a brilliant but arrogant and conceited surgeon gets a new lease on life when a sorcerer takes him under his wing and trains him to defend the world against evil.
Doctor Strange invokes in UK theaters on October 28, 2016 and US theaters on November 4, 2016.

With a catalog of some of the most well-known comic characters at their disposal, Marvel chooses to instead make movies of their lesser known characters. First Guardians, then Antman, now Dr. Strange. If that doesn’t spell confidence I don’t know what does. The trailer looks interesting by the way.

Marvel moving into the Astral Plane now. They’re conquering of everything is now complete.

Don’t know the first thing about Dr. Strange and really didn’t learn anything about him from the trailer but I have high hopes for it. Benedict Cumberbatch, Mads Mikkelsen, Tilda Swinton and Rachel McAdams are heavy hitting acting talent and Scott Derrickson is damn good director.

I’m amazed at the level of talent standing in line for a shot to star in a Marvel gig. Whose next Tom Hanks as Galactus?

I want to see this more than Civil War now and definitely more than anything that DC is thinking about making.

After the BvS fiasco, DC has shown they don’t know how to properly cinematize their characters so you are 100% correct in wanting to see Dr. Strange or Civil War more than anything they’ll produce.

It’s stupid at how good Marvel has gotten at this.

I don’t know what I just watched but I want to watch more of it please.

Excellent intro. Has a darker vibe to it that the Marvel universe hasn’t had yet. Should be interesting to see where they go with this and how it’ll ultimately tie into the Avengers.

His arc in this will no doubt somehow involve the Soul Stone which is one of the Infinity Stones yet to be pursued by Thanos. Thanos is the main villain to the Avengers in Infinity War. Connection complete.

I’ll be honest, as much as I want Marvel to stumble, I don’t think this is the movie to do it.
