The visuals of
Doctor Strange were something to behold; the movie received many nominations for its visual effects, from the Oscars to BAFTA, and it has already won the Annie Award. Between the rumble within the Mirror Dimension and bargaining with Dormammu, the Hong Kong showdown between Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen) is the best case study of the movie's effects.
A new VFX reel from Industrial Light & Magic has now illustrated how the sequence was brought to the big screen. You can check out how the spectacular fight between Strange, Mordo and Kaecilius and the rest of his Zealots was made below.
