The exclusive clip released by USA Today shows Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige talking about the challenges they face bringing the Sorcerer Supreme to life in the MCU.

“You need a spectacular actor to portray [Doctor Strange],” explains Feige, “And the fact that Benedict Cumberbatch has agreed to do this role is huge for us.”

Marvel’s ‘Doctor Strange’ is based on an original property created by Steve Ditko that first appeared in 1963′s ‘Strange Tale’. The film will show how Dr Stephen Strange, a talented neurosurgeon whose career is ruined by a car accident, gains mystical superpowers when he encounters The Ancient One, played in the 2016 movie by Tilda Swinton.

“What you can expect from this ‘Doctor Strange’ movie,” says director Scott Derrickson, “Is a mind trip action film.”

Cumberbatch is no stranger to spectacular action movies, having played Khan in ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’, but taking on the lead role in a highly-anticipated Marvel movie is sure to send the actor’s star into the stratosphere.

‘Doctor Strange’ which is currently shooting right now, will hit cinemas in November 2016.
