New Doctor Strange Photos
Kevin Feigetells us aboutRachel McAdams' character Christine Palmer:
DirectorScott Derricksontalks about why he loves Doctor Strange:
I love the comics so much and I grew up reading Marvel Comics. And Doctor Strange is my favorite comic book character probably I think honestly the only comic book I would feel personally suited to work on. And for me it was my long standing love for Doctor Strange comes from first of all, the fantastical visual imagery of all the comics, particularly the early Ditko stuff, Into Shamballa, The Oath, a lot of the images that I have picked are from those three sources. And then individual issues. Thematically the loneliness of that character, I always really liked the idea of a character who had gone through so much trauma and was placed into a position between our world and other worlds, other dimensions literally. That’s a lonely position. I like that.

DirectorScott Derricksontalks about the ambition of the movie:
I’m surprised that I’m getting to make it. Because I keep feeling like these set pieces… someone’s gonna say, it’s too bizarre. It’s too weird. We’re going too far. And I feel as though we crossed a line at some point in the process, which the comics I think were the inspiration to attempt to go past certain boundaries. But we crossed a line and after crossing that line we just kept going. It all kept getting stranger and stranger not to be, I didn’t mean that as a pun, but it all just kept getting more bizarre. And in a good way, in a way that as a viewer I think I would be satisfied by.
Director Scott Derrickson talks about trying to present magic in a different way for this movie:
The starting point was what kind of things have we not seen in cinema? That we could, was almost working backwards. What kind of imagery, what kind of action could be created in cinema that we haven’t seen and I started from that place and looked for a way to tie that in to magic. And some of those ideas didn’t tie in well and some of those ideas tied in surprisingly well. The ones that tied in really well, those became the major set pieces for the movie.
Doctor Strange Character Posters
And here are three Doctor Strange character posters. Three more will debut here tomorrow alongside more interviews. I do kind of feel like Disney and Marvel are clutching too hard to thisInception-like visual of a folding city. From what I’ve herard the various dimensions we will see in the film should be all sorts of mind-trippy, and this feels too much like presenting something the audience has seen before. I want to see the really crazy stuff in the marketing. This seems like its playing it too safe. I think audiences fell in love with Guardians of the Galaxy because it looked really different and fun. This film seems to be more serious in tone than Guardians, so why not sell the craziest visuals?
Update: The Doctor Strange character poster gallery has been updated with three new posters:MadsMikkelsen as Kaecilius,Tilda Swintonas The Ancient One andChiwetel Ejioforas Baron Karl Mordo.
