Teaser trailer is out... and looks absolutely insane!
Is this evil strange based off of a story from the comics? I never really read anything to do with him
I'm enjoying this character more and more... and I avoided his original flick.
It just all came across as too... Strange.
I get it now. I'm in.
Dude! If ever there was a movie to see while baked, the first Dr. Strange movie is it! I was stone cold sober when I saw it, but some scenes had me wondering if maybe some of my "experiments" with mushrooms back in the day had more long lasting effects than I thought!
I love the surreal psychedelic feel of these movies, becasue they're conjuring up a modern-day equivalent of the positively insane Jack Kirby designs and environments from the original comic run... some of which have to be seen to be believed, even now! I remember reading them back in the 70s and wondering what the hell Kirby was on when he was drawing them! I love the fact that the MCU is paying homage to him in that way. I wish he was here to see it... I suspect he'd love it!Dude! If ever there was a movie to see while baked, the first Dr. Strange movie is it!

no i didn'tDid you watch any of the recent 'What If?' TV series? Because this film picks up a big plot-point from the Dr Strange episode in that series, as well as from several of the other episodes and WandaVision and Loki. The various TV series have been setting up a lot of things that are going to be developed further in the Phase 4 and 5 movies.
You should, there are some definite What If? vibes in the trailer.no i didn't
Anyone have any idea who evil dr strange is? Or if it’s related to anything that happens in the comics?

I have D+ but don’t feelIf you have Disney+ watch the Dr. Strange episode and you'll get an idea. I don't think it's exactly the version of Strange seen in the episode, but it looks close. If you don't have Disney+, you can watch the New Rockstars breakdown on YouTube.
Thank you for all of that, ***** the secret war I read years ago.. I don’t remember evil strange I have to dig through my books and pick it back upThere are actually several 'evil Dr Stranges' in the comics, from the 'What If...?' series and the main run. There's one where he's a disciple of Dormammu (usually a regular nemesis in the comics, and the 'big bad' from the first movie). Within the comic version of the multiverse, there's the Strange from 'counter-Earth' - the Necromancer - as well as the (even worse) one from 'the Cancerverse'. Only Thanos was able to defeat him in the end. 'Our' Dr Strange is also pretty evil in the 'Secret Wars' storyline.
And, of course, with the recent TV series being used to set up the MCU multiverse for the upcoming films, there's the recent TV Dr Strange 'What If..?' episode where Strange is split into two, one 'good' and one 'evil'. Indeed, in that episode, the Watcher says: 'One life, one moment, one choice can destroy the entire universe.'
I guess they could be drawing on any of those for this incarnation. I don't care, as long as he wears lots of black eyeliner and has a close up where he bellows, "I'M Dr. Strange!"

You really should watch What If? it was ar eally great series telling some really great stories. As bit of an added bonus, most of the MCU actors were cast to voice their live action counterpart throughout the seires with only a ocuple of exceptions. Granted, it's its own thing and the live action MCU may or may not borrwo from it, but it's one hell of a series regardless and well worth your time to watch.I have D+ but don’t feel
Like watching it, I’m going to do what you suggest and watch the new rockstars version now, thanks for that advice!
