The introduction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's newest headlining hero is just around the corner, and we've got a batch of new images and posters to celebrate. From Sinister and The Exorcism of Emily Rose director Scott Derrickson, Doctor Strange follows Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular genius neurosurgeon on his path to becoming the Sorcerer Supreme, and along the way, it promises to introduce an entirely new realm to Marvel Studios' ever-expanding universe.
Today brings a combination of film stills, behind-the-scenes images, and character posters for the latest addition to Marvel's roster of heroes, offering a look at Cumberbatch's Sorcerer Supreme in the making. Earlier this year, I had an opportunity to visit the London sets of the film where I got a look at all the mystical wonders Doctor Strange has in store. And while the new set of images doesn't completely capture the sense of vast world-building I witness on the set, they do a pretty good job of demonstrating the film's wide-ranging spectacle, from Strange's origins in your everyday Manhattan setting through the wonders of the Kamar-Taj.
Take a look at the new images below and click through for the high-resolution versions. The film also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Benjamin Bratt. Doctor Strange opens in theaters on November 4th.

Here’s the official synopsis for Doctor Strange:
From Marvel comes “Doctor Strange,” the story of world-famous neurosurgeon Dr. Stephen Strange whose life changes forever after a horrific car accident robs him of the use of his hands. When traditional medicine fails him, he is forced to look for healing, and hope, in an unlikely place—a mysterious enclave known as Kamar-Taj. He quickly learns that this is not just a center for healing but also the front line of a battle against unseen dark forces bent on destroying our reality. Before long Strange—armed with newly acquired magical powers—is forced to choose whether to return to his life of fortune and status or leave it all behind to defend the world as the most powerful sorcerer in existence. Join Strange on his dangerous, mystifying, and totally mind-bending journey when Marvel’s “Doctor Strange” opens in U.S. theaters on November 4, 2016.
