Is it possible that the upcoming Doctor Strange movie could be a not-origin tale?
Although Strange is well known to comic fans, he’s pretty much unknown to the average joe on the street, so one would imagine that a movie would need to give the origins of such a spectacular character to the audience to set things up. But, if the rumours are true, this isn’t to be…
On the latest episode of Meet The Movie Press (below – skip to 52mins for this story) Badass Digest’s Devin Faraci reveals that it may not be the case at all: “So, for Dr. Strange they’ve had a script in-house forever. It is a pretty standard origin story for Doctor Strange. It’s got Baron Mordo as the bad guy. That’s all gone. Marvel’s new thing is no more origin stories. So, Dr. Strange movie no longer has an origin. It begins in medias res. It has Dr. Strange already established as the Sorcerer Supreme. It is a totally new script. Jon Spaihts is working totally new, On his own, without any of the previous stuff. Not even touching the previous script.”
