Are you ready to open your mind to a world of new possibilities and improbabilities, to the supernatural, magical and other-dimensional? If so then you're ready to step into the world of
Marvel Comics latest big screen hero,
Doctor Strange.
Benedict Cumberbatch is perfectly cast as
'Stephen Strange', Master of the Mystic Arts and
Sorcerer Supreme, a renowned neurosurgeon whose hands are injured in an accident which causes him to seek out a new path for his life.
Created by artist
Steve Ditko and first appearing in
Strange Tales #110 in 1963, this master mage will introduce us to yet another uncanny aspect of the
Marvel Cinematic Universe and explore whole new planes of existence.
In the film the good
Doctor of
New York City's Greenwich Village is set to face off against
Mads Mikkelsen's villainous
'Kaecilius' with the help of comic book enemy
'Baron Mordo' (played by
Chiwetel Ejiofor), with
Rachel McAdams a friend from his surgeon days and
Benedict Wong playing
Strange's reimagined manservant
'Wong'.
Horror film director
Scott Derrickson's superhero movie debut hasn't been without its critics though, as some people have criticised the whitewashing of
Doctor Strange's Tibetan mentor,
'The Ancient One', from an
Asian character to caucasian actress
Tilda Swinton.
The giant-sized Doctor Strange billboard was snapped looming over eastbound traffic along the Sunset Strip on September 29, 2016, whilst the standard landscape version was photographed along Santa Monica Boulevard further west the next day.
Fans of
Benedict Cumberbatch can also check him out in these
Star Trek: Into Darkness movie billboards, these
film billboards for The Fifth Estate and this 2015
Oscar consideration
billboard for The Imitation Game.
The
Doctor is in, now let's see what marvelous magic he can work with those hands.
UPDATED: Here's another trippy
Doctor Strange billboard spied high above
Hollywood's Vine Street on October 11, 2016. Now this would have made a mind-bending super-sized ad creative.
UPDATED: As the release date draws nearer,
Doctor Strange seems to materialising all over the streets and skies of
L.A.
This new standard billboard was spied along Pico Boulevard, whilst the special extension cut-out was photographed along La Brea Avenue on October 19, 2016.
Let's see how many more cool billboards magically appear in the coming weeks.
