"This is not going to be twenty-minutes of him being a doctor" - Devin Faraci
Back in June and July of 2013,
Latino Review posted a couple of breakdowns regarding the
Dr. Strange script that was written by
Joshua Oppenheimer in 2010. Since then, Marvel has changed their
Dr. Strange movie plans. They've recently hired
Scott Derrickson ("Deliver Us From Evil") to direct it and hired screenwriter
Jon Spaihts ("Prometheus") to work on the screenplay.
Devin Faraci of
Badass Digest appeared on
Meet The Movie Press alongside
Mark Reilly and
Jeff Sneider. There, he revealed,
Dr. Strange is not an origin story.
"So, for Dr. Strange they've had a script in-house forever. It is a pretty standard origin story for Doctor Strange. It's got Baron Mordo as the bad guy. That's all gone. Marvel's new thing is no more origin stories. So, Dr. Strange movie no longer has an origin. It begins in medias res. It has Dr. Strange already established as the Sorcerer Supreme. It is a totally new script. Jon Spaihts is working totally new, On his own, without any of the previous stuff. Not even touching the previous script." - Devin Faraci
