Marvel's "Doctor Strange" launches in November, and it will be the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to fully embrace the mystical and the magical instead of science and technology. In preparation for this unique take on the popular cinematic universe, the studios have released a brand new trailer that has a hidden message locked in it.
The trailer launched via Twitter, and its caption was written upside down. When properly shown, the text reads: "You think you know how the world works. Watch and expand your mind."

When the video clip is watched, there are words that don't make sense, and the only portions that do include the words "time" and "this is just the beginning."
Polygon has pointed out that when the clip is played backward, the gibberish in the video can now be understood. In the reversed version Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) states he is ready and then a voice clip of The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) is heard telling Strange to open his eyes and that he can be much more than what he is now.
At the end of the reversed version, Strange is heard once again stating "this is just the beginning," ensuring that the phrase can be heard in both versions.
The report does point out that the trailer is a good play on the concept of time, something that the titular character uses in order to defeat his enemies and save the day.
"Doctor Strange" tells the story of Dr. Steven Strange, a famous neurosurgeon who loses control over his hands following a car accident. When Western medicine fails to help him, he travels to East Asia to try other means, and there, he meets the Ancient One, discovering the world of magic and how he can use it to continue helping people.
"Doctor Strange" opens in theaters on Nov. 4.
