WikiViews/Film Uppers - Sam Raimi’s Marvel Universe Pt. I: Doctor Strange

(Cuts to a clip from Spider-Man 2)

J Jonah: What do we call this guy?

Hoffman: Uhh Doctor Octopus

J: Jonah: Crap

Hoffman: Science Squid

J. Jonah: Crap!

Hoffman: Doctor Strange

J. Jonah: That’s pretty good…but it’s taken

(Cuts to a scene from Multiverse of Madness

Dr. Stephen Strange: I love you. I love you in every universe. It's not that I don't want to care or want someone to care for me. I'm just...

Dr. Christine Palmer: Scared. Face your fears, Doctor Strange.

(the video pauses)

Nolan: Doctor Strange……this is gonna be good.

(Shows Film Uppers logo cutting to Nolan in a Doctor Strange costume)

Nolan: well ladies and gents this is one to pack in using the sorcery of Dr. Stephen Strange I manage to conjure up this idea alone

(Multiverse of Madness clips are shown)

Nolan (VO): Sam Raimi sure did Multiverse of Madness but my idea is if he did this in the 2000s era in his Spider-Man Raimiverse there’s actually a lot planned originally for what Doctor Strange was to be Guillermo del Toro was attached to direct a Doctor Strange film, from a screenplay by Neil Gaiman. Yet the film was eventually canceled due to low studio interest there was even one said to be a 90s film starring Jeffrey Combs  but was turned into Doctor Morbid   So I figured I’d tackle it  Here is part I of Sam Raimi’s Universe with Doctor Strange

(Suddenly a dimensional portal opens as Dilbius pops in)

Dilbius: It Dilling Time

Nolan: it’s good to be back

(fades and shows Columbia logo)

Nolan: (VO) We open with The Columbia logo and cut to a dimensional world filled in darkness. We see a shadowy figure unrecognized and unseen as he sits on his throne he looks at his hands as they glow a dark envy green. He speaks. “Bring me him. Bring me The Ancient One”

(Dilbius does an audible gasp)

Nolan: Cut to a hospital where doctors are doing surgery as the credits role here we get introduced to Stephen Strange portrayed here by Johnny Depp. Now unlike Gary Oldman. Depp would be spot on look. Just watch The Ninth Gate and you’ll see. He’s assisting doctors all whilst preparing for a big conference tonight.
