The website does not have the exact details on the appearance of Doctor Strange's costume; nonetheless, Nick Cowen, htxt.co.za managing editor, tweeted that Doctor Strange's costume was not full of colors. The sorcerer's cap is black in color and his robes' colors are green and bloody red.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was also present in Disney's press conference. According to Feige, "Doctor Strange" will explore the spectral realm of the supernatural. Unlike other horror films, with the likes of "Insidious" and "Sinister," "Doctor Strange" will feature a blend of thrills and magic.

In his interview with Screen Daily, "Doctor Strange" cinematographer Ben Davis called Derrickson's film as Marvel's "Fantasia," as it has a mood-altering touch and is not one's usual Marvel action film. He added that the fans will be able to explore and engage with other dimensions in the upcoming film.

"Doctor Strange" is one of Marvel's bullet films in its Phase Three, along with "Black Panther," "Deadpool," and "Gambit." The film stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular superhero, Rachel McAdams as Clea, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Mordo.

"Doctor Strange" is set to premiere on Nov. 4, 2016.
