Robert Cargill and Jon Spaihts, which presents the adventures of the character created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. The life of this unemployed doctor, who has lost his unique gift after suffering irreparable harm, is changed forever when The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) decides to make him her new pupil and teach him the art of magic to fight evil forces.

Trivia
Indian monastery
Benedict Cumberbatch spent his gap year volunteering as an English teacher at a Buddhist monastery in Darjeeling, India. The actor says that he relied on this experience when he prepared for the role of Doctor Strange because this character trained in an oriental monastery.
'Fantasia'
Cinematographer Ben Davis cites Disney film 'Fantasia' as one of his visual influences when he says that 'Doctor Strange' "has a very psychedelic grounding" and that most of the work focuses on "other dimensions".
Benedict Cumberbatch
