Marvel are reportedly in advanced negotiations to film at Pinewood-Shepperton for a mid-2015 shoot.
Marvel Studios is in advanced negotiations to shoot upcoming superhero film DOCTOR STRANGEÂ at Pinewood-Shepperton, according to Screen Daily.
It seems that a lot of logistics for making Doctor Strange seem to be almost in place for the making of the film:  Location decided? Yes. Shoot time roughly organised? Indeed. Possible release date given? So it seems. Actor confirmed for the leading role? Not yet. So almost everything seems to be set in place for the film.
It is believed that the crew are being assembled for a move into Shepperton in late 2014/early 2015 and a speculative start date for filming has been suggested for May 2015 with Marvel having reportedly dated the film’s release for July 8th, 2016.
There has been no confirmation of who will play the Sorcerer Supreme and a variety of names have been thrown into the mix including Joaquin Phoenix and Jack Huston. Â
The Doctor Strange actor will have to be prepared to head to Blighty as the UK seems to be a popular location for shoots with GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, THOR: THE DARK WORLD and some scenes from AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON were made at the same studios.
Scott Derrickson will be directing the film, which tells the story of Stephen Strange, a brilliant but arrogant surgeon, always willing to watch his bottom line to make more money. But when an accident gravely injures his hands, his career never quite recovers. Too proud to take on a teaching position, Strange is determined to find a cure that will restore his career and his life. But his downward spiral continues after burning through his funds, reduced to homelessness and performing shady medical procedures for little money.
However, Strange gets word of a mysterious sorcerer known as the Ancient One, who may have the cure to Strange’s ailment. Convinced, Strange travels to the Himalayas in order to meet him. However, life has different plans in store for Strange as he finds out that he’s not going to return to his career as a surgeon. What the Ancient One has planned for him, is to train his protege in order to protect the world against evil, as a sorcerer. What Strange may have found, is not only his salvation, but his destiny as the new Sorcerer.
