Marvel's Doctor Strange: 8 Reasons You Should Be Excited

8. The Trailers Haven't Revealed Anything Important

It seems weird that we can now consider this a high point (shouldn't this be the case anyway?) but in today's blockbuster landscape that seems intent on spoiling each of a movie's key points, it's genuinely refreshing to see a marketing campaign like Doctor Strange's - that hasn't been too liberal with its offerings.

The first trailer showed us Strange as a surgeon, brief glimpses of his arm-ruining car crash and a couple of shots of his time spent dabbling in the mystical arts with the Ancient One, while the second trailer went on to reveal a better look at Mads Mikkelsen's villain and some footage of spells, magic and mind-bending cityscapes in action.

Thankfully, this is all surface-level plot, stuff we'd learn from a simple synopsis and stuff that's pulled directly from Strange's comic-book origin - so we knew it'd happen anyway.

Generally speaking, the less you know, the better a movie tends to be - but big-budget marketing clearly doesn't agree. Batman v Superman's trailer ruined the Doomsday surprise, Civil War spoiled Spidey and X-Men: Apocalypse may as well have just shown the full movie instead of a trailer, but Doctor Strange hasn't yet succumbed to any similar effects, and it feels great to be going in as blind as we are now.

Fingers crossed the final trailer is just as secretive!
