Marvel Releases Doctor Strange Vs Thanos Promo

In a couple of years, fans will get to see Thanos go toe-to-toe with Doctor Strange when Avengers: Infinity War is released. The highly anticipated ensemble flick will see the Avengers team up with the mystical hero (and others) in a bid to save the galaxy, but Marvel is giving fans just a little taste of what that showdown might look like. The company has released a pretty epic CGI trailer for their game Future Fight which sees Thanos and Doctor Strange clash.

The short video shows several of Earth’s mightiest heroes duking it out. Iron Man and Captain Marvel can be seen engaged in a tense aerial beatdown while the Totally Awesome Hulk gives Captain America a hard time. Even Spider-Man and Silk showdown with one another, and it is all because of Thanos. The intergalactic villain has several of the heroes doing his bidding because of the Mind Stone he wields, but Doctor Strange doesn’t appear too bothered by the gem.

The final shot of the video shows the Sorcerer Supreme levitating lazily in front of Thanos who has Iron Man at his feet. When the Mad Titan greets the hero, Strange nods before unleashing some seriously impressive spell work.

Obviously, fans can’t assume anything about Avengers: Infinity War from this clip - but they do see that Doctor Strange and Thanos would be a good match up. The two will definitely butt heads in the upcoming blockbuster since Thanos will be after Strange’s powerful Time Stone to complete his Infinity Gauntlet collection, so the sorcerer has some time to prepare for the onslaught.

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.

The cast features Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, Star Into Darkness, The Imitation Game), Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave), Rachel McAdams (Sherlock Holmes), Michael Stuhlbarg (A Serious Man), Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) and Tilda Swinton (The Grand Budapest Hotel).
