so after being very pleasantly surprised
by Marvel's dr. strange i find my
thoughts turning as I'm sure do many of
you to a sequel now I didn't get my
chappie sequel and I don't know if I'm
going to get my account sequel but I
have a pretty good feeling about dr.
strange too because everyone gets a
trilogy right although i mentioned
champion the account because i feel that
both those movies have a very strong
intellectual bent to them also
they feature actors that aren't
consistent performers at the box office
and who to some degree audiences have
already made their mind up about and I
put Benedict Cumberbatch in that same
category so we'll see how dr. strange
does when it finally hits the box office
in the United States and China the two
biggest movie markets but again i'm
hopeful not only because it's a Marvel
movie and those seem to be able to do no
wrong at least financially but also
because somebody has to clean up after
infinity war right now this is the part
where I warned about spoilers now
initially I had said oh just slight
spoilers but i wanted to make sure so I
went over my notes and there are a
couple things here like one or two where
I can see someone being a little miffed
if they knew about them in advance so
proceed with caution if you have not yet
seen Doctor Strange and as soon as you
do i'll be sure to head back over here
to talk sequel your ideas I after you've
heard mine
alright so my first idea for dr. strange
to comes out of that hole infinity war
situation
cleanup in the MCU right i mean that i
was gonna wreak havoc with the Infinity
Gauntlet during infinity war so who
better to stitch up time and space than
a mystical surgeon right and i have no
idea what that would look like but based
on the strength of the visuals and
inventiveness of the visuals and dr.
strange i think scott derrickson is up
to the task well scott derrickson and
his visual effects team also speaking of
Thanos Doctor Strange could also need to
get back that infinity stone it that's
at the heart of the eye of agamotto who
knows if we'll get it back at the end of
the movie they could have a situation
where they save that for dr. strange to
but i have to say
what's interesting about the change to
the eye of agamotto making it an
infinity stone is that dr. strange
doesn't need it to be the sorcerer
supreme it's just another artifact sure
it gets its own fancy display room
forget case but it's still it's just one
one element of dr. Strange's Arsenal so
he could lose the eye of agamotto in the
Infinity Gauntlet and infinity war and
not get it back for at least one more
movie right but speaking of that leads
me to number two and that's for dr.
strange to go
Indiana Jones style right forget this
artifact belongs in a museum
it belongs in the sanctum museum because
i really liked in the first film all the
different artifacts that were on display
some of them they kind of addressed a
little bit
some of them they only hinted at and
some we just saw in the background and I
like that idea i like the idea is a
little bit like playing a video game you
have to collect different items to be
able to play with right and I thought
that for the most part I they did a
really good job coming up with things
inventive things for these objects to do
so i would love to see them do that more
in a sequel doctors you know and they're
doing that a little bit the comic right
now you know the death of magick that's
that's been the big storyline and jason
aronson Doctor Strange comic and so dr.
strange has been on the lookout for you
know magical relics to help him in his
fight and to just kind of charge him a
little bit and it's been an interesting
journey and also this number two that
could be the bee storyline out to a
number of other a story lines for Doctor
Strange sequel so searching for
artifacts is something that could be
combined with any of these other ideas
now of course he's gonna have to fight
Mordo who's hunting down sorcerers which
means number three time to meet more
Sorcerer's now we've already been teased
of the existence of Daniel drums brother
who was the head of the New York sanctum
Jericho drum so Daniel drum just as in
the comics perished so that means on the
comics he hunts he haunts sorry he
haunts well it's a little bit of a
contentious relationship so Jericho
might say that he wants him but he
haunts his brother Jericho drum who
becomes brother voodoo i'm not quite
sure if they would keep the haitian
angle
you know in the doctor strange movies
because all the mystical art seem to be
based out of comm are tahj but i would
like to see haitian magic represented
here and also maybe even a little bit of
the Voodoo situation in New Orleans I
think that could be really interesting
the very least that's what we could find
Jericho drum is he's asked to take up
his brothers fight for him by his
brother or dr. strange or somebody else
from camera tahj then of course they
teased ah Nico monaural from Runaways by
having her mother Tina in the movie well
you have to be a big marvel fan to know
she was in the movie because she had no
dialogue and you really have to look for
her on-screen they didn't even have that
shot of the staff one which was in the
advertisements for the movie but that's
the hong kong sanctum and that would be
a great place to explore with both
having teen up maybe actually have some
wines and her daughter the popular
character of nico menorah but also I'd
like to bring in somebody else here and
that's Clea who is the niece of Dormammu
and dr. Strange's one of his love
interests in the comics not a lot of
action in the first Doctor Strange this
would be a good way to not only bring
him a love interest but someone who is
also part of the action was great to see
a woman you don't have to choose whether
or not she's going to be the love
interest or a or appear so in the comics
she is clear might look like a human
being but she's actually another
dimensional being in human form which
would allow dr. strange and cleared to
compete with the vision and Scarlet
Witch for kinkiest couple in the MCU
also in the comics he trains her because
while she's related to Dormammu she is
ah the white sheep of the family meeting
she's the one who's good and doesn't
want to follow the evil path of
everybody else so dr. strange trains her
and that would give the whole first
student angle like he has a
responsibility for her and also I'm well
I don't really condone uh you know
glorifying student-teacher relationships
because there's usually an illegal age
difference but there's a long history of
them so they could maybe do it
tastefully also so you'll have doctors
on strange training someone just like
the ancient one trained him that also
burb clear being from the Dark Dimension
being made of matter
from the Dark Dimension would make her
quite powerful because of course in the
movie it's revealed that the most
powerful sorcerers are fueled by Dark
Dimension magic so that would make her
really cool as well so are so that's
number three
speaking of hong kong let's go back to
Hong Kong for number four
Benedict Wong's family is originally
from hong kong itself and I bring that
up because apparently in Asia
nationalism is very important you know
china vs japan vs south korea the
country of origin makes a difference to
the audience so you could really have a
japanese actor portraying a Chinese
character so you can you don't have to
worry about that with Benedict long so
good job but the casting their Marvel
but the reason I bring that up as I
would love to bring along front and
center with the best doctor strange
story I've ever read the oath written by
bryan cave on comic book legend he's
like Robert Kirkman without a TV series
he worked on under the dome but nobody
really like that but anyway and also has
art by marcos Martin it's a fantastic
doctor strange comic and what is it
tells the story of dr. strength being
shot by a mystery assailant as he tries
to solve the mystery of who shot him and
why he also has to race to find a
magical elixir to care long as cancer so
I like that brings together Matt
medicine and magic which I thought was a
really great part of the first movie I
loved I contrasting and also showing the
similarities between got camera tahj and
the hospital where doctors strange and
Christine Palmer work so this would be a
perfect opportunity for that and also
speaking of perfect opportunities this
is a great way to keep Rachel McAdams is
Palmer Christine Palmer around because
we can't use the night nurse because
that's of course clear clear temple over
in the Netflix shows now to be honest
this is the closest I've seen the MCU
get to netflix with the New York setting
and also ninja type characters but even
though Kevin 5 he says that it's a
possibility to bring in the end the
netflix characters in the MCU I don't
ever really see it happening because i
think it would make it seem like you
should be able to watch them for
whatever the netflix subscription fees
at the moment I have it on automatic
renew so I don't know off the top of my
head
it's a heck of a lot less than the price
of a 3d IMAX movie ticket so I think
that he would rightfully worried about
making people feel it's something that
they could wait to watch on-demand later
on streaming I have to say Kevin foggy
he you know he says a lot of chefs but I
think they're evil stepmother ifs like
oh we might make enough we want
including netflix characters if I might
make a Black Widow movie if and I really
never gonna happen those things all
right so anyway just like you might make
it in humans movie if all right so
finally number five my fifth idea for a
sequel is you gotta bring in an Avenger
right that is part of the Marvel formula
and I think it showed amazing
self-control not to bring any for the
first movie i liked it but I do worry
how that will be reflected in the box
office will see but for the sequel
ya gotta bring in a venture because he
will know them at that point now you
can't use tony stark or Scott Lang
because both Robert Downey jr. and Paul
Rudd look a lot like Benedict
Cumberbatch in fact in some ways he's
kind of the missing link between the two
of them I so I would and also I don't
think you can go Thor Loki because
obviously as we can see from the after
credits sequence Doctor Strange is
already going to appear indoor ragnarok
we don't know for how long but the
internet connections already been made
so duh
Scarlet Witch and vision you know we can
have an infinity stone support group
perhaps but this is what's really
interesting Kevin foggy and I think this
is the soak the seeds that their sewing
Kevin five you recently said that
scarlet witch's abilities are magic she
just has absolutely no control over them
because she hasn't been to camera Tashi
doesn't even know that she's doing magic
she she confided division she's like I'm
winging it and he's like yeah I can kind
of tell by the results of how it
happened in Africa
alright so anyway he Kevin foggy
interestingly said that the light effect
around her hands is just unfocused magic
and that's why it doesn't form the
patterns that the ancient one doctor
strange mortos magic you know anyone who
trained a camera Tosh you know how the
light takes shape for them and that is a
beautiful and simple idea it really
solves and you know links everything
together in a way that's instantly
palatable not like wait a minute you're
really reaching that you're like oh my
God all makes sense so i would love to
see speaking of students
perhaps they could bring Scarlet Witch
and instead of clear or both who knows
Doctor Strange and his women but I i
think it's clearly been proven from the
winter soldier that it's very effective
to bring in our secondary character you
know black widow was a great boon to
that movie and they're doing that with
thor ragnarok by bringing halkan
although when it comes to female
characters so far it seems to be the
only way they can get another movie that
is an avengers movie under their belt
because Kevin find you ain't handing out
solo movies two female characters except
for Captain Marvel well if right all
right so that's my top five ideas for
dr. strange too i think there are a lot
of really interesting directions to go
in and I had to limit my list to just
five things so I'm curious to see what
you guys come up with down below because
I think there are genuinely a lot of
interesting options here particularly
those of you who are hardcore Doctor
Strange fans i am becoming more and more
of a doctor strange fan every day now
after having seen the movie but I know
some of you are very much into dr.
strange and be curious to hear your
thoughts about what happened with the
sequel down below I thanks so much for
tuning in and you can check out some
more coverage right now
