As directed by Rupert Goold — a British theater veteran making his feature debut — it's deliberately paced, with
much more talk than action, which seems appropriate for the material but might frustrate fans of its stars.
Feige
talks about Doctor Strange's origin story, how the movie will be different from the comics, rooting crazy concepts in real science, does Steven Strange know about The Avengers, how the film is
more respectful to other cultures
than the original source material may have been, how this movie was inspired by The Oath, which characters might connect with the Runaways, Mads Mikkelsen «s character Kaecilius, multiple dimensions, the trouble with writing magic
action, how Mordo is different in the movie, Rachel McAdams «character Christine Palmer, is the eye of agamotto an infinity stone, the genre of the film, how this film will defy expectations, Steven Strange's role in the larger MCU, will we see cameos from the other Marvel characters, and
much more.

much more comfortable we are
talking about policy and even about centralizing government power when it comes to schooling
than we are
talking about the responsibilities of parents and students — or how private
action can encourage responsible behavior.
