On November 4, 2016, Doctor Strange was released in U.S. theaters. As childhood fans, superhero films turn out to be very interesting and Doctor Strange is a good example. This superhero film, directed by Scott Derrickson and starring Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Rachel McAdams (Christine Palmer), Chiwetel Ejiofer (Mordo), Mads Mikkelsen (Kaecilius) and Tilda Swinton (The Ancient One), has grossed over $616 million and is to become Marvel Studio’s highest grossing solo character film.

Doctor Strange is based on a talented neurosurgeon, Dr. Stephen Strange, who is mostly consumed by his work. After a tragic car accident, his hands were disabled and he was unable to perform even the simplest of surgeries. Thus, he becomes obsessed with fixing this dilemma. He then meets a man who had made miraculous recovery and goes to Nepal in hopes of finding a new healing process.

In Nepal, he studies the ways of magic and alternate realities under the Ancient One and her assistant student, Mordo. There, he is introduced to the hidden world of mysticism and alternate dimensions. Doctor Strange utilizes a vast array of metaphysical abilities and artifacts to protect the world from mystical forces and what lies beyond the real world. This film was a difficult one to be directed and was influenced by a lot by the comics.

Filming locations in Kathmandu, Nepal was vital to this film and suited the plot. Due to having direct connections with The Avengers, this movie was almost introduced as already acquiring powers and

abilities but the director felt it was important to have a backstory, so that the audience could connect with the protagonist more. Benedict Cumberbatch was the top choice for this role as he acted well and nobody can take a bite of the reality sandwich for his role.

Doctor Strange was a highly-anticipated film and was long time coming. The film’s cast and crew have put a lot of effort into telling a story that attracts viewers. This film wonderfully gained a high position and is a total blockbuster. The movie is a real dynamo full of action, fantasy, and entertainment, and it delivered a thoroughly entertaining superhero origin story.
