Marvel Studios is ramping up the promotion of "Doctor Strange" with the movie only a month away from hitting the silver screen.
A new mind-bending trailer for the highly anticipated film has been released, giving fans a good look at what the Benedict Cumberbatch-led movie has in store.
The "Doctor Strange" movie is expected to capture the psychedelic and kaleidoscopic themes and vibes of the comic books, and the trailers and teaser materials have, so far, proven that.
The film is actually inspired by the early works of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, the outstanding tandem that brought the Sorcerer Supreme to life.
Many fans adore the latter's illustrations and how they weave amazingly with Lee's words, which is why the "Doctor Strange" is expected to be another win for Marvel if they get this theme right, and based on the teasers, they hit the nail on the head.
Basing the movie from Lee and Ditko's work was important to director Scott Derrickson, who made sure to give fans the feeling that they are watching the pages of the comics come to life on the big screen.
"If your love for the early Stan Lee-Steve Ditko comics was that visual, psychedelic ambition, I think you'll be pretty satisfied," the filmmaker told Los Angeles Daily News. "The primary resource for the visual design of the whole movie came from those comics," he went on to say.
For the extra trippiness factor, Marvel also captioned the clip by turning the letters and words upside down. The description reads: "You think you know how the world works... Watch and expand your mind."
"Doctor Strange" introduces brand new elements in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) such as dimension and time travel, which was hinted at in the new trailer as well. This has many believing that the film will feature the Time Stone.
"Doctor Strange" is scheduled to hit theaters on Nov. 4.
