Marvel unveils the first look at footage from their next superhero origin movie
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to be turned upside down — and inside out.
The release of “Captain America: Civil War,” which pits hero against hero, is just weeks away from its May 6 opening, and the first trailer for “Doctor Strange,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch, promises even bigger and weirder things ahead for the Marvel Studios franchise.
The teaser trailer debuted late Tuesday night on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” — but after Kimmel and Cumberbatch had a little fun goofing on each other using the show’s “Wall of America.” See what happens when the host coaxes the star into trying his hand at a magic act:
The trailer itself gives the audience a taste of Dr. Stephen Strange’s origin story: how he went from being a brilliant surgeon to desperately seeking greater truths. That leads him to the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), who trains him to become the Sorcerer Supreme of Steve Ditko‘s psychedelic comics of the 1960s and beyond.
The footage in the trailer promises a trippy, big-screen journey from director Scott Derrickson that evokes the Wachowski sisters‘ “The Matrix” and Christopher Nolan‘s “Batman Begins.” There’s a shot of a folding city that will likely remind audiences of Nolan’s own reality-altering blockbuster thriller, “Inception.”

The movie also stars Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Mads Mikkelsen. It is set to hit theaters in November.
