Now part of the studio's Phase 3 Plans--Created in 1963 in the comics by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko --Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) tells the story of an arrogant surgeon who is injured in a car accident and goes on to become the Sorcerer Supreme of the universe. Using his magical powers Strange protects the earth from attacks from other realms.
The Ancient One is the previous Sorcerer Supreme who serves as Strange's mentor-- and also ends up training but ultimately rejecting Baron Mordo, The long rumored bad guy in the film is said to make a cameo appearance in the upcoming "Captain America: Civil War". Edgar Ramirez has been mentioned to possibly play Mordo in the film.
The studio hired Scott Derrickson to direct the film He was first reported in contention for the director job earlier this year, along with names like Jonathan Levine ("Warm Bodies") and Mark Andrews ("Brave").
"Kung Fu Panda" scribes Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger were said to be poised to pen a recent screenplay draft. Back in January 2012, Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer-the writing duo behind the recent remake of Conan the Barbarian had their work seemingly approved by the studio. Recently we learned that Jon Spaihts, best known for writing the early and more "Alien"-inspired drafts of Ridley Scott's "Prometheus" is in talks to rewrite the script. The tone of the film will be similar to that of "Iron Man".
Production would begin next May at Pinewood Studio in England. There's no specific release date for "Doctor Strange," yet it will likely take one of the slots that the studio has staked out-recently. it's expected July 8th 2016 will be targeted.
