SDCC 2016: Doctor Strange turns heads (and buildings) in new trailer

Marvel released a brand new trailer for their upcoming Doctor Strange film at SDCC this weekend.

The first person to dare mention “Girl Power” gets a punch in the face.

Directed by Scott Derickson and starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton, Rachel McAdams, Michael Stuhlbarg and Mads Mikkelsen, Doctor Strange is released in United Kingdom cinemas on October 28, 2016 before opening in USA theatres on November 4, 2016.

Swinton is playing the “Ancient One”, a mystical character who serves as a mentor to Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange.

Meanwhile Oscar-winning Brie Larson got a standing ovation as she was confirmed to play the title role in “Captain Marvel”, slated to open in 2019. Numerous 6, 500 audience for the Marvel offerings had queued through the night at the annual film and pop culture event.

Margot Robbie’s comic book baddie Harley Quinn is one of the most hotly anticipated characters among all the films due to emerge from Warner’s “DC Extended Universe”.

Fans immediately say “it looks even more dark and magical than we imagined”.

Half the time I really had no idea what was happening in this trailer, not that I’d want it any other way, especially since this is arguably the MCU’s weirdest movie yet.

Director Jon Watts said “Homecoming” is simply a high school movie.

A bronze statue of Captain America was also unveiled at Comic-Con celebrating 75 years since his creation before being installed in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park in August.

“Wonder Woman has the heart of a human and the strength of a goddess and combination of the two is very powerful”, Gadot said.

Rivaling Affleck’s Batman at the panel was Lego Batman, voiced by Will Arnett, the star of next year’s animated “Lego Batman Movie”, a spin-off from 2014’s “The Lego Movie”. Either way, it feels aggressively naive for a movie already tinged with insensitivity about race and culture to end its big Comic Con trailer on a joke about “savages”.
