"Doctor Strange" released 2016


Marvel Studios released Doctor Strange November 4, 2016, the fourteenth Marvel Comics Universe movie.  London-born actor Benedict Cumberbatch played a sexy version of the good doctor.  I am a big fan of Tilda Swinton but I did not like her being cast in a role of an old Tibetan man from the comics. 

The special effects were eye-popping and the story was well in line with the comics.  It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Achievement in Special Visual Effects.  (It lost to The Jungle Book.) I liked his appearance in Thor: Ragnarok with Chris Hemsworth.

As of April 2017, Doctor Strange has grossed $677.7M world-wide.
