In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson and lead Benedict Cumberbatch dropped some new details about the film.

Cumberbatch on the character of Stephen Strange:

“This man reaches the very bottom and then more. You think, How much more can this guy take? He’s broken, he gets up again, he’s broken — and that’s really what makes him a superhero. A lot of people have asked me, ‘What makes him a superhero?’ That’s really the answer I should have given. It’s not the Cloak of Levitation. It’s not the Eye of Agamotto. It’s about his staying power. It’s a marathon and not a sprint. The guy endures so much.”

Derrickson on the unique visuals, story and overall ambition of the movie:

“The ambition was to use cutting-edge visual effects to do things that are fresh and new — to not just blow things up… All I will say is that the movie deals heavily with other dimensions.”

Along with these quotes regarding the movie, some new images were released. Check ’em out below.
