The Marvel Cinematic Universe is continuing to expand after nearly a decade of existence, and it is about to get a whole lot more mystic and magical.Doctor Strangeis the next movie on the slate for Marvel Studios, and they just dropped a brand new, epic trailer for it.Stephen Strangemay be a new character to most of the general public, but this trailer will surely help sell everyone on Marvel’s latest hero, and the magic side of the Marvel Universe that he is bringing to the table with him.
The studio decided to debut the newDoctor Strangetrailer for fans who attended the Marvel Studios panel in Hall H atSan Diego Comic-Conon Saturday, and it may wind up being one of the most talked about things from the entire convention. Members of the cast and crew were on hand for the panel, including directorScott Derrickson, who had teased bringing something special from the movie to the convention a couple of weeks ago on his Twitter account. Prior to this, the only footage we had seen from the movie came from the teaser trailer which debuted back in April.
Marvel Studios brought several of their upcoming movies to San DiegoComic-Conthis year but there is no doubt that much of the focus of the studio’s panel on Saturday at SDCC was onDoctor Strange. Even though the movie has some massive star power behind hit, he is a brand new character, and a very different one at that. Even manyhardcore comic book fansonly have a passing knowledge of the character, so Marvel Studios is definitely going to want to sell the larger audience on the premise and the character, who it seems will be a big part of the MCU moving forward. And this trailer should definitely help sell some who may not have been convinced. Here is the official synopsis forDoctor Strange.
