Marvel’s Kevin Feige explained,

When this comic appeared in the early ’60s, it really informed, in a way that is pretty amazing, a lot of the psychedelic ’60s as we know it. I don’t know that they were doing anything weird in the bullpen in Marvel, but certainly the stuff they were doing inspired all those people who were doing mind-expansion experiments at the time. So, that’s inherent to the property. And that’s our mission statement for the visual effects on this movie.

I’ve honestly had a hard time getting hype for Doctor Strange (probably a combination of Cumberbatch saturation, zero enthusiasm for director Scott Derrickson, and concerns over the movie’s whitewashing of supporting characters and/or racial fetishism), but I am relieved that, if we have to get a Doctor Strange movie, at least Feige says it will be unabashedly and properly weird.

I don’t know, gang. What do you all think?
