Production on the Doctor Strange movie looks to get underway soon as director Scott Derrickson has tweeted out he is on his way to London.
“Leaving now for London to make Doctor Strange,” Derrickson posted on Twitter.
Details on the Doctor Strange movie are slim at present with only Benedict Cumberbatch confirmed by Marvel to be playing the titular character Stephen Strange.
A couple of recent rumors do reveal a bit of gender and race bending for the film as it’s been reported by the Hollywood trade sites that Tilda Swinton is up to play the role of Doctor Strange’s mentor, the Ancient One, and also that Chiwetel Ejiofor will be playing Baron Mordo.
Doctor Strange has a November 4, 2016 release.
Check out some Twitter teasers from Derrickson:
