13 Upcoming Superhero Movies That Could Beat Civil War
9. Doctor Strange
Why It Could Beat Civil War: There are three major things Doctor Strange has working in its favour: Benedict Cumberbatch surely becoming one of the most charismatic and entertaining MCU protagonists yet, its inherent weirdness and introduction of magic to the franchise, and by far the trippiest and most surreal visuals from any MCU movie to date.
Why It Might Not: The main issue here is that the movie could be too weird or just weird for its own sake. With pretty much every character here being unknown to mainstream audiences, it will have to work a lot harder than Civil War to win viewers over, and considering that it looks like one of the MCU's more serious-minded entries (at least so far), some may complain that it's not "fun" enough.
