Doctor Strange: New Video Delves Into the World
Marvel Entertainment and Walt Disney Studios released a new behind-the-scenes featurette today for the next upcoming Marvel Studios release, Doctor Strange. You can check out the new video in the player below.
The new video features some new footage from the film and explores the backstory of Doctor Stephen Strange and the world of the upcoming film, along with some of the other characters. Based on the trailer, the film will have a fairly faithful retelling of Doctor Strange’s own backstory for the purpose of the film. Of course, he’s a world-class surgeon who is in a car accident, losing the use of his hands. He spends his personal fortune trying to get his hands repaired, but nothing works, until he uses the last of his money to travel to Nepal.
It’s interesting that for the sake of the film, though, that Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Mordo appears to have become a mentor of sorts for Doctor Strange and introduces him to the world of sorcery. In the comics, Mordo is essentially one of Doctor Strange’s arch enemies. So it begs the question if the filmmakers are playing a bit of a bait-and-switch role here for Mordo.
Doctor Strange arrives in theaters on November 4.
