Doctor Strange: Time TV Spot Released

A new television spot for Doctor Strange has been released, so it's about time you watched it.

The action-packed footage shows Doctor Strange as he casts spells, takes on baddies, and turns back the hands of time. At just 30 seconds, the trippy footage works backwards as it reels through the highlights of the hero's origin story.

"It's time," Doctor Strange says at first before the audio loops again and again. The words are played over the sound of a ticking clock, a very appropriate choice for the trailer. The trailer then goes on to tease audiences "His time is now" and that this all is "just the beginning."

The video also includes a nod to recent television spots which feature the hero's characterful clothes. Doctor Strange's Cloak of Levitation is seen whipping around the hero as he marches down a dark hallway. The sentient item was teased in a previous teaser, and costume designer Alexandra Byrne has said the cloak is, "it's its own character...you have to have something that feels like it has an amazing sense of history and antiquity and is a relic in itself. "

From Marvel comes DOCTOR STRANGE, the story of world-famous neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange whose life changes forever after a horrific car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing, and hope, in an unlikely place – a mysterious enclave known as Kamar-Taj. He quickly learns that this is not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying our reality. Before long Strange – armed with newly acquired magical powers – is forced to choose whether to return to his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence. Join Strange on his dangerous, mystifying, and totally mind-bending journey.

The cast features Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Star Into Darkness, The Imitation Game), Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave), Rachel McAdams (Sherlock Holmes), Michael Stuhlbarg (A Serious Man), Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) and Tilda Swinton (The Grand Budapest Hotel).

The film is directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister) and written by Derrickson, Jon Spaihts (Prometheus), and C. Robert Cargill (Sinister).

Marvel's Doctor Strange is produced by Kevin Feige with Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Charles Newirth, Stephen Broussard and Stan Lee serving as executive producers.

Marvel's Doctor Strange will cast a spell on audiences November 4, 2016.
