Benedict Cumberbatch IS Doctor Strange.

Panther: 73-76, 77-79, 88, 91, 98-03, 05-08, 09-10, last week
Ghost Rider: 73-83, 90-98, 2001 mini, 2005 mini, 06-10?, non-Johnny Blaze book last year
Inhumans: 75-77, 98-99, 2000, 03-04, 14-15, current

In comparison Strange is in almost continuous publication until the 00s with only 3 minis outside of the latest book.

In terms of series publication, I'd say that the Inhumans are second-tier. Despite being a near-constant presence in the Marvel U since their inception, they never had a series that lasted longer than 12 issues until the last couple of years.

I am 100% down for this

How did I not realize until now Tilda Swinton is playing the Ancient One? fuck yeah

looks cool but where is the outer space

Dr Strange was considered such retail poison by Marvel a few years ago that Brendan McCarthy's Dr Strange miniseries was released under the title Spider-Man: Fever

^ one of the best mini-series of recent years. to be fair, it does feature spider drugs casualty.

it'd be hilarious if they titled it that and Spider-Man only showed up in like two panels

That's basically what happened in the Seth Meyers/Bill Hader Spidey one-shot iirc.

This guy is so weird as Southie Irish in Black Mass. Good accent but mannerisms are totally British.

my main interest in this is wondering what tilda swinton will do with the huge paycheck they've sent her. expand her film festival? open a museum?

current doctor strange comic by jason aaron & chris bachalo is fun, inevitable apocalyptic threat aside

At Captain America tonight, two consecutive trailers used the line "Forget everything you think you know" (X-Men and this).

Yeah, we got 3 out of 4 superhero trailers in front of a superhero flick. The 4th one was Rogue One

I wish they had the volume cranked for the Rogue One trailer in my theater :(

We also got Mother's Day, which seems like it's probably past its shelf life.

Um, I don't buy Legos but I think I will be buying these Legos.

Lego is plural.

Not in American English, buddy

we can afford many legos

love to make structures with many of the bricks lego

Would buy all this Legi.

New trailer from Comic-Con:

lame

first trailer better, nice swirling cities tho

I am 100% here for this movie

Swinton casting is super-irritating

idgaf I'm sure it'll be fine

she does some pretty well when put in ominous powerful cipher roles

there's just so many other decent people it could have been. I don't like Cumberbatch either, and vastly prefer cosmic-time-and-weird-dimension-straddling Ditko and Englehart type Dr. Strange stuff so this is clearly not for me

Also trailers out there from Comic-Con for "Wonder Woman" (which looks good), "Justice League" and "Kong: Skull Island." I'm not starting threads, though.

Man, that "Skull Island" trailer ... it makes it look like Michael Bay's "King Kong." Kind of a bummer, amplified by yet another glaring, righteously indignant SLJ performance.

They should change Comic-Con to Movie-Con or Media-Event-Con

xp Ape-ocalypse Now

what that trailer really drives home is: i could watch chiwetel ejiofor doing his chiwetel ejiofor thing ALL DAY

vastly prefer cosmic-time-and-weird-dimension-straddling Ditko and Englehart type Dr. Strange stuff so this is clearly not for me

Me too and I think this looks great. 🤔

He was definitely Asian in his first couple of appearances.

Anyway, new trailer. Should it be making me think of Inception so much?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xoxeCWpZyU

p much hate everything about this - the casting, the Inception-style effects, the visual style

oh well

I'm kind of relieved there's nothing Marvel are doing for me to give them money any time soon.

Is this the same Universe as the Netflix stuff? Which is a peripheral part of Avengers/SHIELD one of course.

Yes. Luke Cage talks about The Avengers NYC craziness it in the pilot.

I love that in the newest teaser trailer they namedrop Steve Ditko while showing art by Gene Colan and Dan Adkins.

Is he going to at least cameo in the Defenders? Since he was a founder member in the comics and seems to have been in every line up afterwards. Seems a bit of a coincidence that he is introduced to that universe in the run up to the group team up which will now just be the Netflix team up characters.
BGeen a while since I read the origin of the team but wasn't he the forming member?

But then again looks like they have been trying to get a Dr Strange film under way for years.

Just surprising that they'd go ahead with a group name being used with none of the main members being included. I think all those that are going to be in it are more on the level of associated members in the comics.

I don't think there's been any direct crossover between the movies and the Netflix shows. It's just a coincidence. The Defenders is simply a convenient name plucked from

Marvel history

The main notable thing about the Defenders is that they're... not the Avengers. The original lineup was Doctor Strange, the Silver Surfer, the Hulk, and Namor. Marvel Studios doesn't have the rights to half of those, currently, the Hulk is on the Avengers and played by an actor who isn't too likely to pop in for a tv cameo, and Dr. Strange isn't even out yet.

There's a point in the New Avengers stuff from 2010ish when it was a team led by Luke Cage, with Iron Fist and Doctor Strange in tow along with a mishmash of others and someone makes a crack about "New Avengers? Shouldn't you be calling yourself the Defenders?"

It's always been a mishmash of whatever characters editorial decides is available for a team book

No Son of Satan no credibility

oh yay more exploding cgi cities

as they would say in the tv corner of the marvel universe, you're thinking of the avengers

this is the warping and inverting cgi cities movie that looks like inception
