Doctor Strange Official Trailer 2 - REACTION
The stars of Marvel"s upcoming "Doctor Strange" --including Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Tilda Swinton -- greeted fans at Comic-Con on Saturday as the trailer of the highly anticipated November releasedebuted online.
Cumberbatch is making his first movie in the Marvel universe, playing the title character in the adaptation of the Steve Ditkocomic. WhileMarvel unveiled atwo-minute teaser trailer in April that focused on the relationship between Cumberbatch"sneurosurgeon and Swinton"sbald Ancient One,a slightly longer trailer debuted Saturday that providesglimpses of Mads Mikkelesenas the movie"s villain, Kaecilius.
The new trailer also shows scenes of comic banter betweenCumberbatchand Ejiofor, who plays a fellow student in the Ancient One"s Buddhistic monastery.
When Marvel debuted the initial teaser in April, a backlash formed from some fans who objected to the casting of Swintonasa Tibetan character, claiming that it was another example of Hollywood "whitewashing" an Asian character. But screenwriterC. Robert Cargill later said that the Scottish actress was cast in the role to placate China, which has had a long-runningantagonistic relationship with Tibet and doesn"t recognize the province"s claims toindependence.
Perhaps in response to the backlash, Marvel has played up the role of actor Benedict Wong in the new trailer. The British-Asian actor didn"t appear in the earlier teaser.
