Doctor Strange: 31 Easter Eggs & References You Must See
12. The Cloak Of Levitation = Magic Carpet
In the comics, Doctor Strange's Cloak Of Levitation is slightly different to the way its presented on screen, though there is a level of familiarity. Originally the Cloak was presented without any actual will of its own, though it has acted on the will of its wearer without command in some instances. In the source comics the Cloak is actually given to Strange as a prize for beating Dormammu, rather than it choosing him.
In the film, this is extended somewhat to give the Cloak more personality, and it definitely feels like the writers and animators went and watched Disney's Aladdin for tips on how to do that.
To further confused matters and make everyone who likes a daft shared universe theory more excited, Aladdin's dad looks exactly like Doctor Strange...
