New Story Details Revealed for Marvel's DOCTOR STRANGE
This past week we've seen some photos and video from the set of Doctor Strange featuring Benedict Cumberbatch and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Stephen Strange and Baron Mordo.
We know that the movie will show us how Strange went from a master surgeon to the Sorcerer Supreme. Thanks to Latino-Review, we now have some new details on the story of the film. The following contains possible SPOILERS, so proceed at your own risk.
The following info comes from an inside source at the studio:
"The Doctor Strange movie actually starts much earlier than anyone expected, opening in 1968 Kathmandu where some Zealots of dark magic manage to open a portal to another dimension. Leading them is a character named Kaecilius, a name taken from a character associated with Baron Mordo in the Marvel Comics.
"We leave the mystery of magic in the 1960s behind to catch up with brilliant Stephen Strange in modern day New York operating on a gunshot wound. He's a brilliant surgeon who is a bit arrogant until one night, while chatting on the phone, he clips his car, causing an accident that damages his hands.
"After several surgeries from Dr. Nicodemus West, Strange's hands still aren't healed enough to return to being a doctor. An encounter with magic (and sub-atomic particles) leads him on a journey to find the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), and when he finds her, she initially refuses to teach him.
"That's what they're filming right now in Nepal, as there will be a scene in the movie where Cumberbatch's Strange gets his now-wild facial hair under control, and shaves it down to the classic Doctor Strange facial hair we're all expecting."
So there you have it, folks! Those are the new bits of info that we have so far. It's nothing too crazy, but I'll post whatever information I can get my hands on because this is one of my most anticipated Marvel movies to date. I've been waiting for this movie to happen since before Iron Man! We'll finally get to see it on Novemeber 4th, 2016.
