DOCTOR STRANGE TRAILER BEGINS MARVEL’S CHAKRA AND AWE CAMPAIGN

The mystical arm of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has finally progressed beyond still photos and into the Trailer Zone. Thanks to the first trailer for November’s Doctor Strange, which aired tonight on Jimmy Kimmel Live! (Disney-ABC-Marvel synergy strikes again), we’ve now got a few more dots to connect. Just as in the comics, Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) is a gifted surgeon whose career is jeopardized by a car accident; just as in the comics, he gets in touch with his mystical powers via a powerful being known as the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton). Not just as in the comics, Strange lacks a tiny pomade-laden mustache. Probably for the best. Doctor Strange hits theaters November 4.

Pause at: :15 for Strange trapped underwater after his accident; :37 for a first look at Rachel McAdams as an as-yet-unnamed surgeon; 1:09 for the Ancient One punching the very soul out of Stephen Strange; 1:25 for a sneak peek of Mads Mikkelsen, who plays the movie’s primary villain;

1:26 (that was quick, right?) for a shot of Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Strange’s rival in the quest to inherit the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme from The Ancient One; 1:30 for a magical-urban-topography move straight out of Inception.

Key Quote: “You wonder what I see in your future? Possibility.” (The Ancient One, just prior to the aforementioned chest-punch)

Like Ben Affleck as Batman, I think they could have made a better casting decision as the Dr.

Wasn't a fan of the comic, but will check this out....it looks like a mindf**k

I think this looks interesting. I find the lesser properties far more interesting (Guardians of the Galaxy for example) than the big budget films like Avengers. They seem to have more creative freedom.

I'm also glad to see that it looks a lot brighter and less serious than Batman vs Superman (I know they are very different comics but as films they are lumped in the same genre).
