The Unmade MCU Doctor Strange Movie: Doctor Strange's First Draft - Canned Goods

[@alejandroreyes8878]

This sounds 100% like an early 2000's Avi Arad production

[@HemmasStudios_]

This is so true. But I gotta say, the Avi Arad Marvel stuff has such an oddly specific feel to it. I don't know if it's necessarily a good thing but I'd be lying if I said it doesn't hit me with some sort of fond nostalgia.

[@alejandroreyes8878]

@@HemmasStudios_ Exactly, what made me think of the Avi Arad era were the weird creative choices around the edges, mainly the fact that the Sanctum was a restaurant, and Wong was a partying bachelor that almost became Stephen step-son. To me those kind of changes feel like the changes made to "modernize" Dr Doom in the first Fantastic Four movie or the changes made to Electro in TASM 2. However... It dealing more with demons, the mindless ones and the Vishanti, was oddly more faithful to the source material than what we got in the first movie as much as I loved it. Strangely (pun intended), I think a lot of the elements from this script would have been perfect for Sam Raimi.

[@JoaoGuilherme-hp6zs]

@@alejandroreyes8878 the think i likes the most is the chilling score by Jon Ekstrand And think that Matt Smith or Sam Riley should have been Morbius instead of Jared Leto what you think?

Despite it's disconnection with MCU...the history is better suited to the OG Dr. Strange. The comic book lore is almost all there. Now they are diluiting it to better suit up with all this marvels movies. I don't know...in what if storyline , this storyline would be cool

[@AshXXMayftw]

I won't deny that it sounds interesting, but at the same time, with everything they were throwing into it, it also sounds extremely cluttered. The eye, the orb, the book, there was just way too much going on. To me, it would have bogged down the film.

[@HemmasStudios_]

I couldn't agree more. The plot had a ton of mechanics that were all individually complicated.

[@AshXXMayftw]

@@HemmasStudios_ Yeah, to me an origin story shouldn't be that complex. The Doctor Strange we got had the right amount of stakes without having to throw in all these plot crucial relics. We got the eye and the time stone, and that was about it.

[@HemmasStudios_]

And to that point, I think the way they combined they eye and the time stone was a really elegant way to streamline things without bogging everything down in too much lore!

[@ShadowPhoenix82]

Yeah, the first film was a great way to introduce Strange and magic to people that knew nothing of him. This one seems to require prior knowledge to keep up with the clutter.

[@AshXXMayftw]

@@ShadowPhoenix82 Yeah. No doubt I would have found it entertaining, but I would have also been lost on what a lot of this stuff was.

[@hyliannerd4541]

Can you also do one for Guillermo del Toro and Neil Gaiman's cancelled Dr.Strange movie?

I love hearing the stories behind the making of canceled movies 👍👍 I think they should of leaned heavier into Donna's disappearance.

[@ShadowPhoenix82]

Interesting. I love the first Strange movie, as does my friend and her mom whom aren't really Marvel fans. But this was very interesting to hear! Thank you for sharing this! I'd love to hear a similar first draft of the second recent movie

Some part of me thinks this script and the script for that animated Dr. Strange movie were least passed around the same people.

[@syrkul2535]

Sounds like a whole trilogy

[@clemensprod.5756]

I love your content man! I’m always interested in hearing about discontinued cancelled movies. Please consider doing more X-men content specifically Wolverine. I’ve heard a lot of wild things about all the Wolverine movies they were making they got scrapped, including the Logan movie which was at first going to have a lot more tie ins and cameos of other X-men universe mutants. But were later cut due to the studio wanting Logan movie to be more of a stand alone movie less tied in with the multiple timeline

[@HemmasStudios_]

Thank you for the kind words! It’s no secret around here that I’m a very, VERY big fan of making X-Men videos, and even more so with the Fox X-Men stuff, rest assured- there will be more of it :P

[@homanism6438]

I found the early draft of The Wolverine script penned by David Aronofsky, it is more comic accurate. -the wolverine is the only mutant in that script -Lord Yashida is remain death from early to the end of script -the story focused on the leadership of Black Clan, secret society of Japanese warrior who controls Japan -Lord Yashida met Logan in Pacific war and they had a duel. -from that Duel, Yashida considered Logan as his Succesor -there are two men who wanted the throne of black Clan, son of Yashida (shingen Yashida) and Bastard son of Shingen (Kenuichio Harada aka Silver Samurai)

[@mickeymouse7726]

I honestly happy with the 2 doctor strange movies we've gotten in the mcu so far man

[@HemmasStudios_]

I totally agree. I feel like Strange is consistently the best written character in the MCU.

[@SirBlackReeds]

I'm not, especially M.o.M. Disney-Marvel did Sam Raimi a huge disservice by saddling him with subpar writers, forcing him to make America Chavez integral to the plot, and compelling him to repeatedly overhaul the movie. They should have just given him the level of freedom that Jon Favreau had on Iron Man 1.

[@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805]

Good stuff as always mate.
