Doctor Strange stars Benedict Cumberbatch and is directed by Scott Derrickson. The movie also features Rachel McAdams, Mads Mikkelsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Tilda Swinton as Strange's mentor.

"You're a man looking at the world through a keyhole," Swinton's character, the Ancient One, tells Cumberbatch's Dr. Stephen Strange in the teaser. "You've spent your life trying to widen it. Your work saved the lives of thousands. What if I told you that reality is one of many?"

The movie is an origin story featuring Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange, a former neurosurgeon who loses his abilities and becomes the Sorcerer Supreme and Earth's protector against magical and mystical threats. The character was created by Marvel artist Steve Dikto in 1963.
