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.”
