\"Doctor<\/a>
Doctor Strange as he appears in Marvel Comics<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>

According to Badass Digest<\/em><\/a>, Marvel Studios are breaking from their established template with Doctor Strange<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The site reports that the new film will the be the first character introduction to not include an origin story, which has been a major component of every Marvel Phase 1 and Phase 2 film so far – although less so in James Gunn’s Guardians Of The Galax<\/strong><\/em>y.<\/p>\n

There’s no source cited so this is best treated as a rumour, but the 2010 script by Conan<\/strong><\/em> writer Joshua Oppenheimer is being junked in favour of a complete rewrite from Prometheus<\/strong><\/em>‘ Jon Spaihts which will see the movie – directed by Sinister<\/strong><\/em> and Deliver Us From Evil<\/strong><\/em>‘s Scott Derrickson – open with Stephen Strange as a full-bore Sorcerer Supreme.<\/p>\n

Which would make total sense if he’s already been namechecked by HYDRA as a potential threat as in Captain America: The Winter Soldier<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scott Derrickson’s new film Deliver Us From Evil<\/em> is in cinemas 20 August 2014. You can buy Sinister<\/em> on Blu-ray for £6.76 at Amazon.co.uk.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
