Benedict Cumberbatch dons a brand new costume for Doctor Strange in this fascinating concept design from the Marvel Studios film.
While many fans loved how Marvel Studios brought Doctor Strange’s costume to life in his solo adventure, Benedict Cumberbatch nearly had a completely different look as the Sorcerer Supreme. In the comics, Stephen Strange’s costume can change depending on the artist and writer, so translating it onto the big screen was always going to be an interesting journey. Some fans will instantly picture the incredibly over-the-top collar that the hero sometimes has in the source material.
But the design revealed by concept artist Ryan Meinerding shows Doctor Strange wearing a blue and gold outfit rather than his typical red and blue look. The design features a royal blue cloak with gold detailing on the outside, while on the inside it features a pattern of symbols that are most likely levitation spells or intended for protection. The bulk of the hero’s costume also features the iconic chest design from the comics. Take a look at the alternate design below.
