Blast From The Past: The 1978 Doctor Strange Movie Trailer

In the time of Nicholas Hammond as Spider-Man and Lou Ferrigno/Bill Bixby as the Incredible Hulk, Peter Hooten's portrayal as Dr. Strange is sort of swept under the magic carpet.

Premiering on September 6, 1978, the Dr. Strange TV movie was the first attempt at bringing the good doctor to life. They did change around a few things here such as Strange works in the psychiatry department instead of neurosurgery and The Ancient One was replaced by actor John Mills as Thomas Lindmer, acting as his mystical guide.

If you've never seen the trailer, or the movie itself, check out below.

Weird, right?

Hooten's costume definitely had a more oriental look and had the look of the times for Strange, but curious on how they would have handled Strange's other enemies should this have ever been picked up as a series.

Have you readers ever seen this? Is this your first time hearing about it? Since the Hulk TV show brought together Thor and Daredevil, would you have liked a TV shared universe? Sound off in the comments below.
