We’ve already seen a few set photos earlier this month [see here and here], but now Marvel has officially confirmed that production is underway on Doctor Strange and will shoot in several locations around the world, including London, New York, Hong Kong and Kathmandu.
As part of the announcement, we also got the first brief synopsis, which reads as follows:
“Doctor Strange follows the story of neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a horrific car accident, discovers the hidden world of magic and alternate dimensions.”
