Based on a Marvel character created in 1963 by Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, the movie is directed by Scott Derrickson and stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange. \u00a0This will be the second attempt to make a story about the iconic hero.\u00a0 The first movie was produced in 1978 and was considered a disaster at the time.<\/p>\n
Per the information available on the net, it appears the movie will be based on his origin story that appeared in Strange Tales #115.\u00a0 For those of you not familiar with the character Dr. Strange, here is a quick recap for you\u2026..Dr. Stephen Vincent Strange was a brilliant, famous and self-centered New York surgeon that was seriously injured in a terrible car accident.\u00a0 The accident shattered the bones in both his hands and the damage ends his ability to conduct surgery.\u00a0 Dr. Strange then spends his fortune to wander the globe seeking a cure for his condition.\u00a0 This search leads him into the Himalayas where he meets the Ancient one and interns in the use of magic to not only heal himself but help the world.<\/p>\n

*SPECIAL NOTE: The Ancient one is the Sorcerer Supreme of the universe.\u00a0 He is portrayed in the comics as an elderly man. In the upcoming movie, the ancient one is a female and is portrayed by actress Tilda Swinton.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Not much else is known about the movie, however fans of Doctor Strange eagerly await the movie\u2019s release.\u00a0 Will he battle his arch nemesis Baron Mordo (former colleague and pupil of the Ancient one turned evil) or will he battle the mystical entity Dormammu?\u00a0 What role will the Sorceror Supreme have in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?\u00a0 All these questions have yet to be answered.<\/p>\n One thing we do know is that Dr. Strange will have his iconic \u201cEye of Agamotto.\u201d This is a powerful amulet (one of his trademarks in the comics) that calls upon the mystical powers of Agamotto.\u00a0 It is but one of the many powers that our sorcerer utilizes in his magical arsenal.\u00a0 However, unlike the comics \u2013 it has been hinted that the eye might contain one of the six infinity stones.\u00a0 According to Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige he says \u201cIn this film, the Eye\u00a0 [of Agamotto] is a very important relic that can be quite dangerous if used in the wrong hands, because it has the ability to do any number of things, the most dangerous of which is, it can sort of manipulate probabilities. Which is also another way of saying, \u2018screw around with time\u2019 \u2014 which is part of our story.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Screw around with time? Is it possible that it could be the Time Stone \u2013 one of the two remaining Infinity Stones yet to make an appearance in any of the Marvel movies?<\/p>\n The superhero Dr. Strange first appeared in Marvel Comics in Strange Tales #110.\u00a0 This was a split book comic that shared his story with the feature hero \u201cthe Human Torch.\u201d\u00a0 His first story was a five page filler in the comic and introduced the character as the \u201cMaster of Black Magic.\u201d\u00a0 Over time Doctor Stephen Strange eventually replaces the ancient one as the Sorcerer Supreme and is hailed as the Master of the Mystic Arts.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.hicollector.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/5-1.jpg\")
