After teasing with a poster late last night, the first teaser of Marvel Cinematic Universe's new superhero movie is finally here. We see Benedict Cumberbatch's Stephen transform from a surgeon to a saviour.
Doctor Stephen Strange does not believe in fairy tales about chakras or energy or the power of belief, yet by the end of the first teaser, we see him pleading to the ancient one to teach him.

"You are a man looking at the world through a keyhole. You have spent your life trying to widen it. Your work saved lives of thousands. What if I told you that reality is one of many?" asks the Ancient One, played by Tilda Swinton, for whom the character was changed from a man to a woman. And boy, she fits into the role like a glove!
Directed by Scott Derrickson, the movie boasts a cast of Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mads Mikkelsen, Rachel McAdams, Scott Adkins, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Amy Landecker.
The movie will lay the groundwork for two Avenger movies - Infinity War 1 & 2.
The teasing started when images of the crew of the movie shooting in Nepal surfaced. Then director Derrickson kept tweeting about set images. Later, the first look came out in Entertainment Weekly. Before the wrap-up, images from Manhattan shoot surfaced and Cumberbatch visiting a comic book store in full Doctor Strange costume went viral.
Given that the 'Marvel' movie is releasing on November 4, we are in for a lot more teasing and sleuthing to connect all the dots leading to the last movie in the third phase of Kevin Feige's Marvel Cinematic Universe
