AceShowbiz - Director Scott Derrickson and producer Kevin Feige have released a featurette for the upcoming Marvel superhero movie "Doctor Strange". Making its way out via USA Today, the featurette shares some concept arts, which feature Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular doctor, while also revealing what fans can expect from the movie.
Derrickson tries to explain the tone of the movie in the video. "What you can expect from this Doctor Strange movie is a mind-trip action film," he says. Executive producer Stephen Broussard suggests that the movie will explore a lot of ideas rather than focus only on the character. "It's one of the things that's important to us in telling a magical story, is keeping it grounded but still leaving enough room to have really cool and unique visual ideas to explore," says Broussard.
According to those people who work behind the movie, another interesting element in the movie is its cast. Feige states that having Cumberbatch to play the central character is "huge for us." Derrickson notes, "Benedict has got an incredibly complicated emotional structure going on."
In the featurette, there is a glimpse of some cool concept arts. One of the pictures features the doctor wearing a massive red cape in front of a mind-blowing background. There is also a concept art that sees Doctor Strange in action with what appears to be his magical abilities.
