Marvel’s Phase One? A smashing, roaring justification of the risks taken on big money comic book films. As the photos started to be displayed, we clearly see that Doctor odd will truly be Marvel’s Fantasia.
While fans have to wait until October of 2016 for Doctor odd, they will no doubt eagerly await the much more imminent release of footage from Captain America: Civil War, which opens on May 6. As he would explain, these concept art pieces aren’t revealed to the public this early during the pre-production process, and came straight from the vaults of the Marvel Art Department. He confirmed long gestating rumors that Tilda Swinton (“Michael Clayton”) and Chiwetel Ejiofor (“12 Years a Slave”) are indeed joining star Benedict Cumberbatch (“The Imitation Game”) as cast members. However, the actor sent a video message, saying that the film will feature “girls, cars, explosions, a bit of astral projection”.
“I’m very, very, very lucky and very excited to be taking on Doctor odd for Marvel”, Cumberbatch said.
Doctor odd revolves around a surgeon (Cumberbatch) who is injured in a vehicle accident. Desperate to find a miracle cure, unusual comes across a wizard who gives him back his abilities, at the same time mystic powers to defend the Earth from dark forces. “Most of the work within it is about other dimensions”.
There were also scenes (artwork and animatics) that bore a certain “Inception” feel, Slash Film says: “got the crazy images, of cars and whole highways of vehicles floating in formation with no pavement, insane-looking buildings moving in warped patterns that recall Inception“.
