Re-Visiting the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Doctor Strange

"Doctor Strange" (2016)


As soon as Jasper Sitwell mentioned Stephen Strange to Steve Rogers on that rooftop in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," you knew it was only a matter of time before the MCU was introduced to its Sorcerer Supreme. It was announced in 2014 that "Sherlock"s Benedict Cumberbatch was announced in the titular role with Scott Derrickson directing. The film was set up to introduce a new corner to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We had gotten a glimpse of the intergalactic corner and now it was time to check out the mystical side of the MCU.

"Doctor Strange" began principal photography in November 2015 and wrapped on April 3, 2016. Along with Cumberbatch in the starring role, "Doctor Strange" also starred Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Karl Mordo, Benedict Wong as Wong, Mads Mikkelson as Kaecilius and Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One. The film was written by John Spaihts, Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill and directed by Scott Derrickson. It was released in theaters on November 4, 2016.

A Long Time Ago, In a Republic Far, Far Away: Attack of the Clones and the Start of the Clone Wars

Star Wars


Today is May 4th and for a while it's been a day to celebrate all things "Star Wars." May the Fourth Be With You? Get it? Since Carrie Fisher's untimely passing in 2016, it has also doubled as a day to pay tribute and homage to our Princess turned General. Seeing that it is a day to love on Star Wars, I thought it was the perfect time for my next post going through the new canon. It's time to talk about "Attack of the Clones" and an adventure featuring Mace Windu at the start of the Clone Wars.
