Kevin Feige puts his hope on the Doctor Strange origin story

For long it was rumored that the first Doctor Strange solo flick won’t be an origin story – we can call that rumor debunked right now. Kevin Feige says that people are indeed tired of origin stories – but they are tired of those origin stories they have already seen (such as Spider-Man’s). Nobody has seen until now how Stephen Strange because the Sorcerer Supreme – and that is why his first film will be an origin story.

And Kevin Feige cannot praise enough his becoming, calling it one of the best origin stories in the Marvel comics.

This isn’t all, since he also said that Rachel McAdams‘ character, “plays a very, very big part in the movie and represents a certain point of view of the worlds that we experience in that movie, but Doctor Strange, without a doubt, is the character we follow through the movie.” (via Comic Book Movie)

As far as the Ancient One is concerned, there is no clear answer as to what gender the character will have: “We get an amazing actress to play an amazing character, and do it in a way that’s very unique and doesn’t fall into any outdated stereotypes that sometimes pop up in the comics from years past. It’s funny you ask ‘Will Tilda Swinton be playing a woman?’ and you ask it because she does an amazing job of being sort of ambiguous in terms of gender. I think you’ll see us playing it in ways that she’s played other characters that way. Clearly she’s a woman, but it is very ambiguous in her portrayal.”

Also, by the end of this year, we will know all the actors who will appear in Doctor Strange, as well as in Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. II.
