Title: Doctor Strange trailer #2 looks like the real deal
Post by: Arcana on July 25, 2016, 08:41:59 PM
I've been waiting for a faithful cinematic depiction of Doctor Strange for over thirty years.  This is the version of Doctor Strange I didn't know I wanted until I saw it:

I'm looking forward to seeing Suicide Squad.  I'm interested to see where Warner takes Justice League.  I'm liking Ben Affleck's Batman so far, warts and all.  And I'm an equal opportunity Marvel/DC fan.  But Marvel seems to just know what I want to see on screen and is willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to allow me to see it.  I know not everyone is as enthused.  I just don't know how I got so lucky.

I'm more of a DC fan, but Marvel has been more consistent in entertaining me with shows and movies for awhile now.  I'm certainly very interested in the Doctor Strange movie.  And the recent Iron Fist trailer looks promising as well.

It's looking good.  Rather see 3 fingers rather the whole hand splayed out.

Strange: "What's this?"
Mordo: "The Wi-Fi Password.  We're not savages."

Chiwetel Ejiofor is still awesome after all of these years... I'm glad they cast him.

Never heard of the guy.  Looking at his credits on imdb gave me one movie I've seen with him in it, assuming it's not a different movie named Serenity, but I have no recollection of his character.  But now I know what name Andre the Black Nerd was mangling when he talked about the trailer...

He played the main villain.  I'm jealous you forgot because that means you can watch it for the first time all over again.

My only memory of the movie is that I hated it and there was a pointless character death.  While I may watch the series again, I'll probably never see the movie again.

That is also an inside joke.  When they were first gearing up to make the Dr Strange movie Scott Derrickson (the director) tweeted out a page from the Into Shamballa graphic novel, which led people to believe they were going to do the Lords of Shamballa story from that book.  Turns out it was just he liked the artwork and was using the book as a back reference.

Kinky Boots, Inside Man, 12 Years A Slave are other examples of his work.  His first film appearance was in Amistad.

And I know him from Serenity, 2012, Children of Man, Love Actually, The Martian and Salt.
