Benedict Cumberbatch entered amid a cloud of fog to show a scene from “Doctor Strange”, out in November, in which neurosurgeon Stephen Strange, who lost the use of his hands in an accident, meets the Ancient One to harness the mysterious world of magic and alternate dimensions.
DOCTOR STRANGE is aiming to deliver something a little different within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it definitely looks like Derrickson has more than lived up to the challenge. Fans also got to view Lars Mikkelsen’s villain and Tilda Swinston as the “Ancient One”.
Other trailers released as part of Comic-Con were for the J.K. Rowling story Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them which has Eddie Redmayne as protagonist Newt Scamander.
There was additionally a surprise glimpse of “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, with very early footage from the film due for release on July 7 next year showing Peter Parker played by Tom Holland. Fans cheered as they were shown the final “Suicide Squad” trailer ahead of its August 5 release, which focused on the bubblegum-popping Harley Quinn.
“It’s terrifying and inspiring and really exciting because it’s one of most iconic, fascinating characters ever created in American drama”, he said.
The upcoming film, starring Ben Affleck as Batman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, and Henry Cavill as Superman all showed up to promote the film, which appears to have a much lighter take on the mashup.
