One of the few things we did know about theMarvel Comic-Conpanel in Hall H before it happened was thatDoctor Strangewould be part of the festivities, thanks to some tweets from directorScott Derrickson. Since it will be the next Marvel movie to hit theaters, arriving on November 6, the news wasn’t particularly shocking, with most fans expecting the second trailer to arrive during the panel. Thankfully, Marvel delivered everything the fans expected with this new trailer, and now that fans have seen this footage, the studio has provided us with new video interviews with the cast and directorScott Derrickson.
Marvelhas also provided us with a video with panel highlights for theDoctor Strangeportion of this epic Hall H panel, along with video interviews with starsBenedict Cumberbatch(Stephen Strange),Benedict Wong(Wong),Chiwetel Ejiofor(Baron Mordo),Mads Mikkelsen(Kaecilius) and directorScott Derrickson. The trailer was received quite well from fans both inside the Hall H panel and beyond, since the trailer was the only piece of footage Marvel officially released online last night. It remains to be seen when the rest of the footage will debut, but at least we have a newDoctor Strangetrailer to dissect until then.
Marvel Studios brought several of their upcoming movies to San DiegoComic-Conthis year but there is no doubt that much of the focus of the studio’s panel on Saturday at SDCC was onDoctor Strange. Even though the movie has some massive star power behind hit, he is a brand new character, and a very different one at that. Even manyhardcore comic book fansonly have a passing knowledge of the character, so Marvel Studios is definitely going to want to sell the larger audience on the premise and the character, who it seems will be a big part of the MCU moving forward. And this trailer should definitely help sell some who may not have been convinced.
Marvel’sDoctor Strangefollows the story of the talented neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a tragic car accident, must put ego aside and learn the secrets of a hidden world of mysticism andalternate dimensions.
