DOCTOR STRANGE: Rumored Plot Details



Take this with the proverbial grain of salt comment, but this info could be true so here's your SPOILER ALERT! anyway... You've been warned...

If you follow The Daily SuperHero then you should already know that DOCTOR STRANGE is now filming in Nepal. There's been some set photos and an unofficial set video. (See these post links below.)

Next up on the DOCTOR STRANGE beat is a plot rumor from the website Latino-Review, who report the following possible plot details from an anonymous source.

"The 'Doctor Strange' movie actually starts much earlier than anyone expected, opening in 1968 Kathmandu where some Zealots of dark magic manage to open a portal to another dimension. Leading them is a character named Kaecilius, a name taken from a character associated with Baron Mordo in the Marvel Comics. 
"We leave the mystery of magic in the 1960s behind to catch up with brilliant Stephen Strange in modern day New York operating on a gunshot wound. He's a brilliant surgeon who is a bit arrogant until one night, while chatting on the phone, he clips his car, causing an accident that damages his hands.

"After several surgeries from Dr. Nicodemus West, Strange's hands still aren't healed enough to return to being a doctor. An encounter with magic (and sub-atomic particles) leads him on a journey to find the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), and when he finds her, she initially refuses to teach him."

Marvel Studios will not confirm or comment on any potential plot rumors so maybe this is true, and maybe it's not. In the meantime, it does line up with a strong influence from the comic book origins of the hero.

DOCTOR STRANGE releases on November 4, 2016.
