Filming for Doctor Strange has officially started in Nepal, and rumoured details for the film have made their way online.
The Latino-Review states the plot focuses on events in the 1960s relevant to the Doctor Strange storyline:
“The Doctor Strange movie actually starts much earlier than anyone expected, opening. In 1968 Kathmandu where some Zealots of dark magic manage to open a portal to another dimension. Leading them is a character named Kaecilius, a name taken from a character associated with Baron Mordo in the Marvel Comics.
We leave the mystery of comic in the 1960s behind to catch up with brilliant Stephen Strange in modern day New York operating on a gunshot wound. He’s a brilliant surgeon who is a bit arrogant until one night, while chatting on the phone, he clips his car, causing an accident that damages his hands.
After several surgeries from Nicodemus West, Strange’s hands still aren’t healed enough to being a doctor. An encounter with magic (and sub-atomic particles) leads him on a journey to find the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), and when he finds her, she initially refuses to teach him.
That’s what they’re filming right now in Nepal, as there will be a scene in the movie where Cumberbatch’s Strange gets his now-wild facial hair under control, and shaves it down to the classic Doctor Strange facial were all expecting.”

Harrison Ford soon returns to the big screen as one of his iconic characters (Han Solo in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens), but now the actor has said that he would love to reprise the role of Indiana Jones again, one of his other most iconic characters.
Ford is quoted as saying the following:
“Oh, yeah. Yeah, I’d love to do another Indiana Jones. A character that has a history and a potential, kind of a rollicking good movie ride for the audience, Steven Spielberg as a director — what’s not to like?”
Rumours are persisting that a fifth instalment in the Indiana Jones series could be coming out in 2018, but no official announcements have been made and no crew meetings have taken place.
