When SHIELD Agent Sitwell (a Hydra spy) was being interrogated by Captain America, Black Widow and Falcon in the movie “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” he mentioned somebody big as one of the possible target of an automated weapon system. That person’s name is Doctor Stephen Strange.
One good reason why Hydra is paying particular to Doctor Strange is because he is no ordinary mortal. The former neurosurgeon is the Sorcerer Supreme – a superhero tasked to protect the Earth against magical and mystical threats.
Marvel was reported to have finally found its Doctor Strange character for the movie with the same title will be release on 2016. The report says that Benedict Cumberbatch is the studio’s choice for the superhero movie, and negotiations are about to begin.
Another report also suggested that the movie won't be an origin story, but the film will still likely try and find a way to tell moviegoers the whys and hows of the lead character. If new hints from the director are any indication, it's possible that the movie may have found an interesting middle ground to work with.
Director Scott Derrickson is a very active Twitter user, and earlier he posted a caption-less image from a particular Doctor Strange comic that could be an interesting hint about what can be expected from the film's plot. The image comes from "Doctor Strange: Into Shamballa," a graphic novel by J.M. DeMatteis and Dan Green that was first published in 1986.
The story begins with Doctor Strange visiting the home of the Ancient One twenty years after the sorcerer taught him in the ways of magic. Discovering an artifact that has been left as a gift for him, he brings it back home for study – and winds up opening communication with beings of a higher reality known as the Lords of Shamballa.
An opportunity is introduced that would allow humanity to reach another level and enter a golden age, but, of course, an enormous sacrifice would have to be made in order for it to happen.
The "Into Shamballa" plot could quickly address exactly how Doctor Strange became Doctor Strange without letting that narrative take over the entire story. From there, it serves as a springboard into a story that can really only be told in with Doctor Strange as the lead, and the audience is introduced to a whole new side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
