      The Crazy Way 'Doctor Strange' Director Scott Derrickson Learned the Plot of 'Avengers: Infinity War'

      Marvel Studios proved its moviemaking formula remains second to none with Doctor Strange, the media giant’s latest triumphant attempt at adapting one of its comic-book characters for the big screen. Scott Derrickson’s film was a critical and commercial ($660 million) smash, and as is so often the case with Marvel movies, Doctor Strange concludes with more than a few hints as to the future direction of its protagonist — namely, to adventure with the God of Thunder in this fall’s Thor: Ragnarok, and then to battle alongside the Avengers in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War.

      Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson on Joaquin Phoenix, Illuminati, and future of the franchise

      ‘Doctor Strange’ hits cinemas this week with our very own Benedict Cumberbatch playing Marvel’s mystical superhero, but had fates conspired against us (or in another dimension) we could have been seeing a very different movie, one with Joaquin Phoenix in the lead role. Cumberbatch very nearly missed out on being Strange because of his commitments to playing Hamlet at the Barbican in 2015, and so Marvel began shopping round for other actors to play the role. Jared Leto, Ewan McGregor, and Ryan Gosling were all linked, and talks with Joaquin Phoenix publicly collapsed in late 2014.

      Doctor Strange director wants a Dark Knight-style sequel

      The Marvel Cinematic Universe being what it is, a sequel to ‘Doctor Strange’ is more likely than not, and director Scott Derrickson already has ideas. While on the promotional trail for the magical new superhero movie, Derrickson said how he wanted to follow the path taken by Christopher Nolan with his 'Dark Knight’ trilogy. Speaking to Den of Geek, Derriskon said: “What made 'The Dark Knight’ so great was that the origin story of Batman had been well-told, and then it was time to bring in a villain where you really got to go deep.

      Scott Derrickson REALLY wanted to direct Doctor Strange

      It seems Scott Derrickson went to great lengths to direct ‘Doctor Strange’. During an interview with Be Entertainment, the Marvel director revealed that he spent an obscene amount of money in order to secure his dream job of directing ‘Doctor Strange’. The Marvel director - who eventually took the helm of ‘Doctor Strange’ - wouldn’t reveal exactly how much he spent.

      Benedict Cumberbatch almost lost Doctor Strange over stage role

      To be, or not to be a Marvel superhero? In the cover story of the latest issue of Empire, Cumberbatch and his director Scott Derrickson explain that the actor came close to missing out on the role due to a prior commitment in the theatre. Cumberbatch had signed on to play the lead in ‘Hamlet’ at London’s Barbican Theatre in the autumn of 2015, which would have clashed with production on the Marvel movie, initially lined up for a summer 2016 release.

      Doctor Strange Added Wong To Make Up For Tilda Swinton Being Cast As The Ancient One

      ‘Doctor Strange’ director Scott Derrickson has revealed that Benedict Wong’s character (called Wong as it happens) was only brought into the film after Tilda Swinton was cast as The Ancient One’. Swinton’s casting, and later appearance in the film’s trailer, provoked a 'whitewashing’ controversy stemming from the mystical character’s Asian origin and Swinton’s lack there of. “I was very happy with that [Tilda’s casting], but I was also very conscious that in doing that I was erasing a significant potential Asian role,” Derrickson told The Los Angeles Daily News.
