First DOCTOR STRANGE Set Video Shows Hooded Figure And Benedict Cumberbatch In Action

While most of us were sleeping last night, Benedict Cumberbatch was continuing filming for Marvel's Doctor Strange at the Swayambhunath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal. In addition to more high-quality paparazzi photos from the Daily Mail, we now have some cool set footage courtesy of Dutourdumonde Photography. The video shows the English actor in full costume while filming a scene in which Dr. Stephen Strange appears a bit lost. And then at one point, a mysterious hooded figure is seen walking in the opposite direction. Could this be the Ancient One? What do you think?

Also featured in the video is director Scott Derrickson who's sporting a Doctor Strange crew hat with an interesting logo on the front. Anyhow, check out the set photos and footage down below!

not a very big fan of Benedict Cumberbatch but still it was a thrilling experience to see him in Nepal shooting for a Marvel Studios movie. #onset #benedictcumberbatch #marvelstudios #movie #drstrange #swayambhu #nepal

Question. Wen does this take place in the MCU timeline? Agent Sitwell mentions him as a target in CA:WS so it has to be before that.

slickrickdesigns - 11/6/2015, 8:41 AM

This movie is going to be vewy interwesting....

slickrickdesigns - 11/6/2015, 8:42 AM

@CplHicks

Sitwell mentions him as a potential threat. So technically Strange might not have any Powers yet.

Starfox - 11/6/2015, 8:42 AM

Cloaked baddies with cool ass dialogue.

Essential element to any CBM.

EricBorder - 11/6/2015, 8:43 AM

Nice,

The BBC Sherlock is such a great series, I'm wondering if he'll use that accent, I actually wouldn't mind that at all

I'm also hoping that we get to see Strange and Loki interact, I think Cumberbatch and Hiddleston are friends, I'm sure they'd have good chemistry on screen

hufflepuff69 - 11/6/2015, 8:44 AM

@Omarvls and luke Cage on netflix in November i think

JoJo1982 - 11/6/2015, 8:44 AM

@omarvls

U forgot Luke Cage

EricBorder - 11/6/2015, 8:44 AM

@CplHicks

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that this will be an origin story, actually I'm hoping it is, Strange's origin is great

So, I'm hoping this takes place after Civil War on the timeline

ChemicalGhost - 11/6/2015, 8:44 AM

Calling it now: Hooded figure is Wong!

Demiurge - 11/6/2015, 8:45 AM

So that's a fake beard, right ? I think they needed it to be graying to show a Stephen Strange that's actually a little older than Cumberbatch's actual age.

Will the goatee be fake too ? Probably not. At least I hope so...

Y'know, maybe ol' Benedict can't grow a full beard. That happens. Not everyone's lucky enough to be able to do that.

SageMode - 11/6/2015, 8:52 AM

What's the deal with people hating on Cumberbatch? Dude's a talented actor. I don't get it.

Anyhow, I'm psyched for this. BRING IT!

Demiurge - 11/6/2015, 8:55 AM

Actually, nevermind. That second pic seems to show them readjusting his beard, so it must be fake.
This movie's gonna be something special. Like something out of time.

Starfox - 11/6/2015, 8:57 AM

@SageMode

He's intense! One of my favorite actors at the moment.

NeoBaggins - 11/6/2015, 8:58 AM

Shooting in Nepal on some Tibetan ish? I can dig that for Strange.

Brother Numsi approves as well.

GhostDog - 11/6/2015, 9:01 AM

@TypoCorrecto or they could just be wrapped with blue tape....no cg

samantha1990 - 11/6/2015, 9:27 AM

@blackandyellow: That pic of the otters is the funniest thing I've seen all day. They're ALL hilarious but, that third one, "I'm Displeased With You" otter, is freaking priceless XD Thanks for bringing me a laugh on a rough day :)

HeartCollector9 - 11/6/2015, 9:29 AM

@ComicsBornAndBred @TypoCorrecto

The whole plot revolves around his hands being damaged. They may be mangling his fingers in post production...
