By now, we've all heard that Marvel Studios plans on going in new and strange directions with their slates for Phases 3 and 4. While they've been criticized for being somewhat safe for the last few years, Kevin Feige and the folks at Marvel look like they want to switch things up. The first big indication of that was the dark, humor-free, INCEPTION-esque trailer for DOCTOR STRANGE. Now screenwriter C. Robert Carghill is letting the world know that the trailer was nothing compared to what the film is going to end up being.

In the comic books, The Ancient One is portrated as being an elderly Asian man, so what's up with casting the amazingly talented Tilda Swinton to play the character in Doctor Strange? Well, like The Mandarin before her, it seems as if Marvel wanted to move away from portraying the Sorcerer Supreme's mentor in such a stereotypical fashion. "We are always looking for ways to change," explains Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.

It’s been a long road for Stephen Strange to get to the big screen, but the wait for the Sorcerer Supreme to hit theaters is finally coming to an end. Various scripts for a Doctor Strange movie have been floating around Hollywood since the 80’s – with some even entering the pre-production phase – but it took Marvel Cinematic Universe overlord Kevin Feige to finally make the project a reality.

Recently Kevin Feige spoke with Zap2it, and discussed how ‘Doctor Strange’ will fit into the overall Marvel Cinematic Universe once the film hits theaters worldwide, and how for the most part the character will essentially be on his own path."'Doctor Strange,' for instance, is kind of in his own world.
