Doctor Strange Movie Is 'Next Up' Says Kevin Feige

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has revealed that work has started on a Doctor Strange movie.

In an interview with Collider, Feige said, “Dr. Strange is something that I talk about often and it’s sort of next up for us to dig into and explore. Our executive producer of Iron Man 3, having done Captain America: The First Avenger and as that was finishing he started working on the bones that would become Iron Man 3, and now that he’s finished with Iron Man 3, he’s working on the bones that would become Doctor Strange. Now that Iron Man 3 is finished, some of our quote-unquote spare time is going to be devoted to trying to crack Strange.” A little bit of rummaging around on IMDb points towards that unnamed producer being Alan Fine.

Feige went on to imply that Doctor Strange would fall into what is being referred to as 'Phase Three' in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which will kick-off with Edgar Wright's Ant-Man on November 6, 2015.

“As we look past 2015, past Avengers 2 and Ant-Man," said Feige. "I think Doctor Strange should be one of the next movies in the years following that.”

If it was the next film after Ant-Man, that would point towards a April/May 2016 release date.
