As if the enchanting photos featuring "Sherlock" star Benedict Cumberbatch rocking the Doctor Strange look aren't enough, more photos from the highly anticipated Marvel film has been released. The latest one came was shared on Marvel.com and it takes fans to the iconic Sanctum Sanctorum.
Comic book fans would know that this name refers to the mystical superhero's headquarters and the concept art gives them a good look at it. For the uninitiated, the Earth's Sorcerer Supreme's subtle workplace is located at the 177A Bleecker Street in NYC's Greenwich Village.
Collider notes that Doctor Strange's nerve center looks like a nice little townhouse from the outside but little do unsuspecting passersby know it is a threshold to a magical world and a home to a flurry of mystical artifacts that hold unimaginable power.
The concept art is believed to specifically feature the sorcerer's place of meditation. Another spot in the headquarters was dubbed "The Chamber of Relics," which houses a whole host of magical and powerful items. The pieces that pops up the most there is Doctor Strange's red Cloak of Levitation.
The "Doctor Strange" concept art also shows a large window in the Sanctum Sanctorum that Collider says may have been modelled after the mystical amulet Eye of Agamotto, which will be a central element in the movie.
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has already illustrated the importance of this artifact during an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
"In this film, the Eye is a very important relic that can be quite dangerous if used in the wrong hands," Feige revealed.
"Because it has the ability to do any number of things, the most dangerous of which is, it can sort of manipulate probabilities. Which is also another way of saying, 'screw around with time' — which is part of our story," he further explained.
"Doctor Strange" won't be out until Nov. 4, 2016. Cumberbatch will be joined by Rachel McAdams, who will play the role of surgeon that has a history with Strange. "Hannibal" alum Mads Mikkelsen also stars.
