The IESB is reporting that Marvel Studios is developing a live action Doctor Strange film and is presently pitching it to potential directors. Strange follows Stephen Strange, a brilliant but arrogant neurosurgeon whose career was cut short when a car accident resulted in nerve damage to his hands. Hoping for a miracle, a despondent Strange traveled to the Himalayas to seek the counsel of the Ancient One, a Tibetan sorcerer. Though the world at large believes he is no more than an eccentric occult authority, Dr. Strange has inherited from his mentor the mantle of Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme. A full length animated feature of Doctor Strange was officially released by Marvel this week on DVD & Blu-Ray.
