A note about the opening

On the first try!
prevnextWhen I first spoke to Mads Mikkelson about playing the role of Kaicilius, he asked lots of questions but as soon as I told him he’d do a lot of hand-to-hand fighting he said yes - right there on the first call. #QuarantineWatchParty #DoctorStrange

Mind. Blown.
prevnextAll of these medical procedures are quite accurately done. I actually watched a brain surgery during prep. Our neurosurgeon on set Doctor-advisor was amazing. #QuarantineWatchParty #DoctorStrange

No digital on that one
prevnextMe and my DP Ben Davis decided to shoot all of these exterior shots in Nepal on film. No digital camera could capture the feel of Kathmandu #QuarantineWatchParty #DoctorStrange

Cloak hero
prevnextI have to give a lot of credit to my 2nd Unit Director Jeff Habberstad for this fight scene. He was the one who really encouraged me to make much more of the cloak here. #QuarantineWatchParty #DoctorStrange

Straight from the comics
prevnextThis astral fight in the ER was directly inspired by the comics. It was the first scene that me and @Massawyrm wrote when trying to get the job. #QuarantineWatchParty #DoctorStrange

More on Mordo
prevnextI always thought of Mordo as a kind of fundamentalist. Highly moral but ma morality based on a fragile moral structure that once damaged, the whole thing topples. #QuarantineWatchParty #DoctorStrange

The final Dormammu scene
prevAnd the @jonspaihts wrote this final Domammu scene into the first draft and it basically didn’t change during nine months of script development. He really nailed it here. #QuarantineWatchParty #DoctorStrange
