Sneak Peak: Dr. Strange

Tuesday night on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Benedict Cumberbatch dropped in to chat with the late night host, and he shared the first teaser trailer for his upcoming Marvel film “Dr. Strange.”

“Dr. Strange” is Marvel’s first foray into the weird world of magic, and introduces the Sorcerer Supreme. From the comics, Dr. Stephen Strange was a brilliant, albeit arrogant neurosurgeon, until a horrific car crash mangled his hands, rendering him unable to perform surgery. While searching for a cure for his hands, he comes across the Ancient One and trains in the art of magic, on his way to becoming the Sorcerer Supreme.

Without as many words, the this first trailer gets across the main message. The trailer features plenty of the ‘Batch as Strange both pre and post accident, as well as doses of Tilda Swinton’s Ancient One, Chiwetel Ejiofor’s villain Baron Mordo, and a brief glimpse at Rachel McAdams’ as-yet-unnamed nurse.

This first look at the film also shows things getting weird, as rooms and cities are transformed and spun every which way, as the trailer tells audiences to “Open Your Mind” and “Change Your Reality.”

“Dr. Strange” hits US theaters on November 4, 2016.
