The trailer for Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange featured a shot of Benedict Cumberbatch’s eponymous surgeon holding a glass of liquor in a scene presumably set just before his fateful car crash. However, the shot in question was not seen in the theatrical cut of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange.
In a post on Twitter, one fan suggested Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange was originally supposed to be inebriated before the car crash but Disney opposed the idea of seeing a superhero drinking while driving. However, Scott Derrickson responded by explaining that the aforementioned shot was removed because he wanted the car crash to be caused solely by the over-confidence of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange and not the possible result of driving while under the influence.
Check out the post below to see Scott Derrickson’s full message on the responsible driving message of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange.
Scott Derrickson is set to return to the director’s chair for Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange sequel. Details on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness are currently limited, though it is said to be Marvel Studios’ first true foray into the horror genre. Furthermore, the Disney Plus mini-series WandaVision will also serve as the lead-in to the Doctor Strange sequel.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is scheduled to be released in theaters on May 7, 2021.
