Collider Movie Talk - First Doctor Strange Images, Star Wars Smashes New Records
Everyone knows Ant-Man can control ants, Iron Man has a flying weapon-suit, and the Hulk is the man to call if you want something smashed. But what powers are possessed bythe titular hero of Marvels new superhero movie Doctor Strange (out Nov. 4)?In the comic books, this New York-based surgeon-turned sorcererhas a largearray of magical assetsup his proverbial sleeve andMarvel Studiospresident Kevin Feige says the same is true of Benedict Cumberbatchs hero in director Scott Derricksonsbig screen origin story.
He can do a whole host of things, eventually, explainsFeige, who is also the producer of Doctor Strange.He does cast spells,which in the comicshave very sort of tongue-twisty fun names. We dont want to shy away from that, because thats what makes DoctorStrangeDoctorStrange. He has a Cloak of Levitation that allows him to fly,but he doesnt fly like Supermanor like Thor. Its almost got a consciousness of its own, this cloak, which, again, gives us a superhero with a red cape which weve seen a few times but allows us to do it in a wholly unique and wholly original way. He can create these mandalas of light that he can use as shields and he can use as sort of weapons. He can create portalas that will open before your eyes that he can step through and go to other places around the world. And frankly, even in this film, well only touch upon what a lot of his powers are.

Strange is also helped by an amulet known as The Eye of Agamotto. The Cloak of Levitation [and] the Eye of Agamotto are his two signature pieces, says Feige. In this film, the Eye is a very important relic that can be quite dangerous if used in the wrong hands, because it has the ability to do any numberof things, the most dangerous of which is,it can sort of manipulate probabilities. Which is also another way of saying, screw around with time which is part of our story.
