Doctor Strange: How Marvel Made Nepal As Authentic As Possible In The Film

While some of Doctor Strange's production took a field trip to Nepal for production, the team also brought some of Nepal to London for the rest.

In the film, the Nepal sets serve as the Kamar-Taj setting Doctor Strange finds himself in - a location tied to Marvel's Iron Fist which recently wrapped production for Netflix. The team went to extensive lengths to ensure that their studio-made version of Nepal was up to par with the actual location.

"The Nepalese sets are probably the hardest ones to do because they were most unusual," explains production designer Charles Wood during a London set visit for the film. "We had extras from Nepal coming on to the stage, you wander around with them, hopefully not going to start laughing their heads off at the stage. They seemed to embrace it, they seemed to be really pleased that we've gone to that much effort."

The efforts didn't stop with keeping the locals happy. The team also showed off their set designs to the Nepalese, looking for opinions and improvements along as the production went on, truly putting their builders to work along the way.

"As we did Nepal, we were showing a lot of the people in Nepal what we were doing in the U.K. to see if we could get their support, and they gave that to us," Woods says. "I was saying the other day that in the U.K. here, I'm really lucky. I really do have one of the finest crews you could have. The plasterers, they're all artisans, these guys, and the painters, and all of that. All of them. They bring a massive authenticity to these types of films."

According to prop master Barry Gibbs, 60% of the movie will take place in Kamar-Taj, so it's no surprise the film went to such lengths to sell the look of their set.
