As Doctor Strange will detail the origins of Strange and how he goes from having spirit fingers to spiritual fingers, there are many aspects from his comic book origins that will feature within the film. The tutelage of Strange under the Ancient One will be a driving force behind the narrative of the film but it appears as though Karl Mordo (known as Baron Mordo in the comics), a nemesis to Strange and a perpetual thorn in the rear end, will take the fight to Strange, persuading him to accept the Ancient Ones offer of guidance. The plot synopsis reads as follows:
Stephen Strange beset by demons controlled by apprentice sorcerer Karl Mordo, but was rescued by Mordo's mentor, the Ancient One, a millennia-old sorcerer who protected the Earth dimension as its Sorcerer Supreme, a role Strange was destined to inherit. He offered himself as a disciple to the Ancient One, who accepted, having known of Mordo's treachery all along. The Ancient One spent years instructing Strange in the art of sorcery, teaching him how to tap the innate mystic powers of both himself and the world around him.
If that didnt sound awesome enough, lead actor Benedict Cumberbatch will convince you. He has stated that the film will feature girls, cars, explosions and a bit of astral projection into multiple dimensions the usual fare. Just like an average Saturday night then.
