So is Mads Mikkelsen confirmed now then?

Marvel hasn't confirmed him, but all the trade sources include him into the cast as if he is confirmed.

Interesting speculation post:

Quote:

As the cast of Doctor Strange grows seemingly by the day, principal photography on the much-anticipated Marvel adaptation has already moved from on location in Nepal to studio sound stages in England. It was initially reported by Screen Daily that filming has picked up at Longcross Film Studios and will be continuing there until the spring of next year; so much for more set photos.

Less than 24 hours after wrapping the Nepal shoot earlier this week, Doctor Strange leading man Benedict Cumberbatch headed to London to receive his Commander of the British Empire award from Queen Elizabeth II, who he informed of his Marvel-ous role. “She asked what I was doing at the moment,” Cumberbatch told BBC after the ceremony. “I told her I'd finished a three-month run at the Barbican. And I told her I just got back last night from filming in Nepal, playing Doctor Strange for Marvel, which it has just begun. I go back to doing in-studio work here tomorrow…”

This pretty much confirms that Doctor Strange is currently shooting indoors and will be doing so for quite some time, if not for the remainder of the shoot. And according to this guy, some of the first interior scenes involved both Benedict and Rachael McAdams, whose role has yet to be revealed. Nevertheless, there has to be some additional exterior scenes to be shot which could hopefully provide some more set photos. If you happen to live in the United Kingdom, be on the lookout for filming notices for Eye See You, which is the clever working title for Strange. What do you think?
Filming For DOCTOR STRANGE Has Moved To The UK

So looks like the working title is Eye See You - I also think this article has a point about the interior scenes. It doesn't seem likely we will get many on-set photos.

It doesn't mention New York as location which was previously reported by MEW. I also noticed that IMDB mentions LA crew people, which makes me wonder if they maybe will also film there?

Definitely interesting! Thanks for sharing it, Lindsey. I wish I lived in the UK so I could stalk the studio.

I also only just noticed that this is a cast with difficult names. I mean Cumberbatch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Stuhlbarg, Mikkelsen...

amanda s. · 11-26-2015, 03:33 AM

I LOVE IT! And Rachel being part of that cast got me like

Interesting quote from Chiwetel:

Quote:

Although some of that not knowing may be taken care of, given that your Marvel contract probably asked you to sign on for potential Doctor Strange sequels.
Obviously, the idea is that you’ll be part of something that could have more incarnations, but that’s sort of not the focus. The focus is that you just want to make the film that you’re making as good as you can make it. That’s what I’m in engaged with at the moment. It’s a really fascinating project.

amanda s. · 11-29-2015, 09:21 PM

Yeah, so this implies of course that the cast signed a contract for more than one film, which is exciting and I hope it pans out.

New quotes from Rachel:

Quote:

Like so much about Marvel’s upcoming “Doctor Strange“, Rachel McAdams’ role is still completely shrouded in mystery. Who is she playing, and how will she be connected to the film’s hero, Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch)?

McAdams isn’t ready to get into juicy spoiler territory just yet, but when MTV News caught up with her at the Gotham Independent Film Awards in New York City last night (November 30), which she was attending for her new film “Spotlight,” the actress finally opened up about why she decided to join the Marvel family.

“I mean, I just love the director,” McAdams told us. “I met with Scott [Derrickson] and loved his vision, he was so passionate. And the opportunity to work with Benedict was kind of a no-brainer. And Marvel makes amazing films, so it was a complete package.”

Although she has yet to appear in the Cumberbatch-filled photos from on set, she confirmed she’s begun filming her part, too — and while she can’t say anything yet, expect “Dr. Strange” to get — well, pretty strange.

When asked about the look of the film, particularly given the surreal art director Derrickson has been posting to Twitter, McAdams agreed that this is going to be a very different visual feel from you “Iron Man” movies and “Avengers.”

“It’s definitely not going to be like any of the other films,” McAdams added.

I'm looking so forward to seeing what they do with this movie but it makes me nervous too!

winterbird · 12-07-2015, 06:34 AM

I was hoping that Rachel was maybe able to talk about Dr Strange while promoting Spotlight. We know she's a risk when it comes to giving spoilers

Just leaving this here, because it seems appropriate

winterbird · 12-08-2015, 01:12 PM

Marvel just uploaded the first featurette of the movie which features concept art of Doctor Strange:

I think this might be the same footage that was shown during the NY comic-con and D23

amanda s. · 12-09-2015, 01:25 AM

Great stuff, thanks so much for posting it, Lindsey!
