Doctor Strange

[projekktor id=’25910′]

The Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest addition, Doctor Strange, is a mystical origin story directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister, Deliver Us From Evil). The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange as well as Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, Mads Mikkelsen, and Tilda Swinton.

The story follows world-famous neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange, whose life changes forever after a horrific car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing, and hope, in an unlikely place—a mysterious enclave known as Kamar-Taj. He quickly learns that this is not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying our reality. Before long Strange—armed with newly acquired magical powers—is forced to choose whether to return to his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence.

Marvel Studios maestro Kevin Feige is amazed at the talent they were able to assemble for this film. “We have a cast that I think has more awards and more award nominations than any single cast we’ve ever put together, and the fact that they’re all willing to suit up and step into this very trippy world with us is a testament to both our director Scott Derrickson and the source material that it comes from.”

Doctor Strange is rated PG.
