Key Facts

Doctor Strange is the latest film in Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Phase 3’s goal
Dr. Strange is a formerly cocky surgeon who loses the use of his hands, and while on a last ditch attempt to heal himself, discovers magic.
As Marvel chief Kevin Feige explains, "Doctor Stephen Strange, brilliant neurosurgeon, bit of an arrogant fellow who gets in a car accident and ruins what he thinks are the tools of his trade: his hands. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of the supernatural, that involves everything from quantum mechanics to string theory. The idea of this film is to open up a whole new corner of the cinematic universe. We want to enter, through Strange, the world of parallel dimensions."
Based on the Marvel character originated in 1963 by Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko.
