Doctor Strange is a 2016 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of

the same name. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion
Pictures, it is the 14th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film was directed
by Scott Derrickson from a screenplay he wrote with Jon Spaihts and C. Robert Cargill, and
stars Benedict Cumberbatch as surgeon Stephen Strange along with Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel
McAdams, Benedict Wong, Michael Stuhlbarg, Benjamin Bratt, Scott Adkins, Mads Mikkelsen,
and Tilda Swinton. In the film, Strange learns the mystic arts after a career-ending car crash.
Various incarnations of a Doctor Strange film adaptation had been in development since the
mid-1980s, until Paramount Pictures acquired the film rights in April 2005 on behalf of Marvel
Studios. Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer were brought on board in June
2010 to write a screenplay. In June 2014, Derrickson was hired to direct, with Spaihts re-writing
the script. Cumberbatch was chosen for the eponymous role in December 2014, necessitating
a schedule change to work around his other commitments. This gave Derrickson time to work
on the script himself, for which he brought Cargill on to help. Principal photography on the film
began in November 2015 in Nepal, before moving to England and Hong Kong, and wrapping
up in New York City in April 2016.
Doctor Strange had its world premiere in Hong Kong on October 13, 2016, and was released in
the United States on November 4, as part of Phase Three of the MCU. The film grossed over
$677 million worldwide, was met with praise for its visuals and cast, and received awards
attention, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects. A sequel, Doctor
Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, is scheduled for release on March 25, 2022.
