The Cloak of Levitation has found a new friend in Dr. Stephen Strange in the latest TV spot for Marvel’sDoctor Strange. We’ve seen the good doctor wear this cloak in the previously released trailers, but hereBaron Mordo(Chiweltel Ejiofor) tells Strange that the Cloak really “likes” him. The Sorcerer Supreme will certainly need this item to defeat the nefarious Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen), who is also seen briefly in this sneak peek.
From Marvel Studios comesDoctor Strange, the story of world-famous neurosurgeonDr. Stephen Strangewhose life changes forever after a horrific car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing, and hope, in an unlikely place-a mysterious enclave known as Kamar-Taj. He quickly learns that this is not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying our reality.
Before long Strange - armed with newly acquired magical powers-is forced to choose whether to return to his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence. The all-star cast includes Oscar winnerTilda SwintonasThe Ancient One,Rachel McAdamsas Night Nurse,Michael Stuhlbargas Nicodemus West,Benedict Wongas Wong andAmy LandeckerandScott Adkinsin unspecified roles. Marvel has set a November 4 release date forDoctor Strange, putting it up against Lionsgate’sHacksaw Ridgeand DreamWorks Animation’sTrolls.
In the comic books, there were actually two different versions of theCloak of Levitation, both of which were given to the Doctor by The Ancient One. The first cloak he was given was a blue cloak, which contains minor spells and other abilities woven into it. He receives the red cloak which he’s traditionally seen wearing by The Ancient One after he defeated the villainous Dormammu, since he was then deemed worthy of wearing the cloak after defeating this villain. It isn’t known if the blue cloak will be featured in the movie at all, but we see plenty of the red cloak in this TV spot from YouTube.
Producer and Marvel Studios presidentKevin Feigerevealed in an interview from earlier this year that the Cloak of Levitation almost has a “consciousness of its own,” as we can see in this TV spot.Doctor Strangeis directed byScott Derrickson, from a script he co-wrote withC. Robert CargillandJon Spaihts. Take a look at the latest TV spot below fromDoctor Strange, as we get closer and closer to its release on November 4.
