     Fans of Doctor Strange have much to look forward to with the film set to be released in late 2016. As a treat to start the new year, Entertainment Weekly released a first look at the beloved Marvel Character in it’s special beginning of the year double issue. Not only will fans find Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) in full costume on the cover but inside the issue we were treated to exclusive pictures from the highly anticipated film.The film follows the story of self-centered neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Vincent Strange who transforms into a sorcerer after a horrific car accident and stumbles upon a hidden world of magic. Marvel Comics’ Stan Lee and Steve Ditko co-created the character in 1963.The movie also stars Tilda Swinton, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Mads Mikkelsen. Swinton will play Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, while Ejiofor will appear as Baron Mordo, who also studied under the Ancient One before becoming Strange’s nemesis.Directed by Scott Derrickson (“Sinister”) and written by Jon Spaihts, “Doctor Strange” hits theaters on Nov. 4, 2016.

    Without question, my favorite picture would be the first one of Doctor Strange getting ready to cast a spell on someone. I’m also left with a ton of questions about the third and the fourth pictures in the group. What are we seeing in that third photo? Is that his secret layer? Who’s the lady in the fourth picture? From what I have seen, Marvel has done a wonderful job peeking the interests of many fans as we head into 2016.
