Dr Strange

Started by DARTH POWER12 pages

Would prefer Origin because Marvel's origin films are generally pretty damn good.

I'm sick of origins. So I'm game.

Didn't Kevin Feige say it was an origin story? I'll stick to Kevin Feige on this one. Besides, how are they going to introduce a character without an origin whom no one outside of avid comic readers knows about?

i saw that and read it, however that guy is talking about a script from 5 years ago.. Obvisouly the script has been re written and it really makes no sense for the film NOT to be an origin film. Most likely that guy is trying to say he is scoop but in reality he has nothing

You don't need an origin story to introduce a character.

I think you should always have one. More so when it's a major superhero. Exception is with people like Thor who have always been with powers. Or since they were very young. And even then a good satisfactory explanation should be given for why they have powers and why they are on their mission, like in Blade.

Besides Origins are amongst the best stories for most superheroes.

I strongly disagree. And the "satisfactory explanation" is that he is a wizard Harry. Quite simple really.

Cap 2 kinda made it impossible for it to be an origin story unless it takes place before that movie which would be very dumb imho. Give him a couple flashbacks and we are good to go vs Nightmare or whoever the big bad is.

Do you guys see Strange 2 to be the movie to reintro GR?

Ditto

Guardians of the Galaxy showed that.

In Cap 2, the HYDRA agent names Dr Strange as someone who could potentially be a problem in the future. I don't see how you can rule out an origin story.

Also, I love origin stories. But either way, I'm in.

Agree to disagree. I think either an Origin story or some major flashbacks/story telling scenes explaining his Origin.

Hey? GOTG was an origin story. It showed how the team got together and how Starlord ended up in a Galaxy far away.

It's convinced me more than ever that Marvel tell Awesome Origin stories. They do awesome sequels as well, but I think so far their origin movies have been their best movies personally.

Except it didn't take half n hour explaining it all

as for Starlord maybe 15 mins or less possibly and as for the other members briefly during that nova corps lineup.

But it was an origin story for the team.

The Starlord arch was an important one in the story though.

And I'm not saying you need to explain every single individual character's origin in a team up like GOTG or X-Men. You kind of get away with the generic "they're all aliens" or "they're all mutants" explanation. Even still GOTG did give a brief intro and background to each character.

But what wouldn't work IMHO is if you just spent 30 seconds explaining who Starlord is and how the GOTG came together.

Ethan Hawk interested in the role even tho he hasn't been approached

^ It took a good portion of the movie bringing them together. They weren't exactly a team half an hour into the movie.

Move on already.

Lol I had. You quoted it again today!

Lol, irony.

The more i think about this the more I hope Dr. Strange doesn't join the Avengers. I'd love an older under-appreciated actor to play Strange so we can have a cameo almost Zordon like leader for the Netflix Defenders. I also really hope they replace the Jessica jones series with White Tiger.

Dr. Strange will join the Avengers. There's no doubt about that.

I don't think TV would do Dr. Strange justice anyways, he needs movie effects.

Dr. Strange will join the Avengers in part 3 no doubt..

Also Ethan Hawke rumor is fake and false and Marvel is looking for a brand new actor for the role..
