Kevin Feige Teases DOCTOR STRANGE's Powers, The Eye of Agamotto, And... The Time Stone?
Did Kevin Feige just reveal which Infinity Stone will be introduced in Doctor Strange? Hit the jump and find out how as the Marvel Studios Producer/President of Production talks even more about the “Phase Three” movie, as well as the Sorcerer Supreme's special abilities.
“He can do a whole host of things, eventually,” explained Kevin Feige. “He does cast spells, which in the comics have very sort of tongue-twisty fun names. We don’t want to shy away from that, because that’s what makes Doctor Strange Doctor Strange. He has a Cloak of Levitation that allows him to fly, but he doesn’t fly like Superman or like Thor. It’s almost got a consciousness of its own, this cloak, which, again, gives us a superhero with a red cape — which we’ve seen a few times — but allows us to do it in a wholly unique and wholly original way. He can create these mandalas of light that he can use as shields and he can use as sort of weapons. He can create portals that will open before your eyes that he can step through and go to other places around the world. And frankly, even in this film, we’ll only touch upon what a lot of his powers are.”
Kevin Feige then reassured that Doctor Strange's Cloak of Levitation and the Eye of Agamotto are his “two signature pieces” in the movie, with the latter having greater significance. “In this film, the Eye is a very important relic that can be quite dangerous if used in the wrong hands, because it has the ability to do any number of things, the most dangerous of which is, it can sort of manipulate probabilities. Which is also another way of saying, ‘screw around with time’ — which is part of our story.” Sounds like we'll finally see Time Travel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
