Last week, we've seen the first image and video of Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange from the Nepal set of Marvel's Doctor Strange. A few more set photos have emerged online, showing us more of the bearded Benedict Cumberbatch, and surprisingly, Chiwetel Ejiofor's character: Baron Mordo.
The film will show us how Strange went from a master surgeon to the Sorcerer Supreme, and thanks to Latino-Review, we got additional story details. Warning: the following may contain some spoilers.The following details come from Latino-Review's "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."
Doctor Strange will be released on Nov. 4, 2016.
