Doctor Strange (6 November 2016)

Doctor Strange will be the last superhero movie of 2016 and it will mark the introduction of genuine magic in the MCU. The character has been teased in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, while it is also expected for the Ant-Man events to play an important part in the story (as in the Quantum Realm).

It is expected for Dormammu to be the hidden villain, with Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor) being his lieutenant.

Speaking of casting choices, this isn’t the only controversial one. Tilda Swinton has confirmed that she was cast in the role of the Ancient One, though it isn’t known at this moment if the character will be a female or a male one.

The director Scot Derrickson has specialized in horror movies – though this is not a reason to believe that this superhero movie will mark any change in the tone of the MCU (previously, the directors of Captain America: Winter Soldier were known for their comedies).

Having Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role is also worth mentioning – after all, he was the top choice for the role in so many fan-casts of the movie.
