Doctor Strange is a 2016 American superhero film based on the Marvel  Comics character of the same name. Produced by Marvel Studios and  distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is the 14th film  in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film was directed by Scott  Derrickson from a screenplay he wrote with Jon Spaihts and C. Robert  Cargill, and stars Benedict Cumberbatch as neurosurgeon Stephen Strange  along with Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong, Michael  Stuhlbarg, Benjamin Bratt, Scott Adkins, Mads Mikkelsen, and Tilda  Swinton. In the film, Strange learns the mystic arts after a  career-ending car crash.

Various incarnations of a Doctor Strange film adaptation had been in  development since the mid-1980s, until Paramount Pictures acquired the  film rights in April 2005 on behalf of Marvel Studios. Thomas Dean  Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer were brought on board in June 2010 to  write a screenplay. In June 2014, Derrickson was hired to direct, with  Spaihts re-writing the script. Cumberbatch was chosen for the eponymous  role in December 2014, necessitating a schedule change to work around  his other commitments. This gave Derrickson time to work on the script  himself, for which he brought Cargill on to help. Principal photography  on the film began in November 2015 in Nepal, before moving to England  and Hong Kong, and wrapping up in New York City in April 2016.
