Marvel's Dr Strange - New Footage Leaks From Set
Strange sights.
With Captain America: Civil War set for release in May, production continues on Marvel's next movie, namely Doctor Strange. The film has been shooting on the streets of London, and video footage from the set has now leaked, revealing stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Chiwetel Ejiofor at work. Check it out below, via the Anything Cumberbatch Twitter feed:

A video of the shoot was also released--watch that here.
The film stars Cumberbatch as mystical sorcerer Stephen Strange, while the Ejiofor, nominated for an Oscar in 12 Years a Slave, is the evil Baron Mordo. Tilda Swinton plays Strange's mentor, the Ancient One, alongside Rachel McAdams and Mads Mikkelsen. The film is directed by Sinister's Scott Derrickson.
In an interview with EW in December, Marvel boss Kevin Feige revealed the extent of Strange's mystical abilities. "He does cast spells, which in the comics have very sort of tongue-twisty fun names," he said. "We don't want to shy away from that, because that's what makes Doctor Strange Doctor Strange. He has a Cloak of Levitation that allows him to fly, but he doesn't fly like Superman or like Thor. It's almost got a consciousness of its own, which gives us a superhero with a red cape, but allows us to do it in a wholly unique and wholly original way.
"He can create these mandalas of light that he can use as shields and he can use as sort of weapons. He can create portalas that will open before your eyes that he can step through and go to other places around the world. And frankly, even in this film, we'll only touch upon what a lot of his powers are."
Doctor Strange will be only the second Marvel film to break from the tradition of a summer release. Appropriately enough it is coming to cinemas a few days after Halloween, on November 4, 2016.
