Marvel has released a new trailer and it contains something we haven’t seen yet from the marketing: humor!
While it’s pretty much a given that Marvel movies are going to contain jokes, the trailers for Doctor Strange thus far have been deadly serious and played heavily on trying to convey that this is the first Marvel film to delve into the mystical realm. And yet the marketing basically just makes the film look like meets , but with magic.
Some lucky fans might get a better idea of what’s in store when Marvel does a sneak peek of select footage in IMAX 3D at select locations on October 10. The rest of us, however, will have to make do with the trailer.
Doctor Strange is the story of neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange whose life changes forever after a horrific car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing, and hope, in an unlikely place”a mysterious enclave known as Kamar-Taj. He quickly learns that this is not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying our reality. Before long Strange”armed with newly acquired magical powers”is forced to choose whether to return to his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence.
The film opens in 3D on November 4th.
