Doctor Strange Set Photos: 6 Things We Can Learn

You don't need the Eye of Agamotto to work out what they mean.

It€™s official, Benedict Cumberbatch has been in Nepal and Doctor Strange has begun filming. This is not a drill, people. Ever since Marvel€™s Sorcerer Supreme was name checked in Captain America: The Winter Soldier there€™s been a feverish anticipation around just what form a Doctor Strange movie could take in the MCU. Joaquin Phoenix apparently almost had Strange€™s cape fastened on at one point before getting cold feet over the commitment expected of a multi-picture Marvel deal. Luckily, Benedict Cumberbatch is never one to shy away from a busy schedule, quickly stepping in to keep production on track. There€™s still an awful lot we don€™t know about Doctor Strange as things stand, such as just who Mads Mikkleson will be playing and what Strange€™s costume will be like. We also don€™t know if Cumberbatch will be forced to get his lips around lines like €˜by the hoary hosts of Hoggoth!€™ but given the source material I€™d say it€™s a safe bet that he€™ll say it at least once. https://twitter.com/Al_syamri/status/664455420447055872 With Doctor Strange currently filming on the open streets of Nepal leaked set photos are an inevitability, whetting appetites and sparking furious fan debate whenever a new batch lands. With that in mind, lets see what we can deduce from the first shots of the cast in action. Needless to say, potential spoilers lie ahead.
