Actual Magic

Finally! Actual magic is coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Granted, Loki has already cast illusions and so forth, but Thor quite explicitly stated in his first solo movie that, to Asgardians, magic and science are one and the same – and what they do in terms of “magic” is essentially just advanced science that the people of Earth don’t understand.

We are yet to see spells being cast by characters invoking mystical entities – and we’re yet to see any of those entities in question. Doctor Strange will change that.

Strange regularly calls upon powerful entities like Cyttorak, Watoomb, Raggadorr and Krakkan in order to cast spells that utilise a fraction of their power – and that will be really cool to see.

Seeing the existing technology and cosmic powers that already exist in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ultimately clashing with the magic that Strange’s arrival will bring with it is definitely something to look forward to.
