It's over a year away from the release of the Doctor Strange film, which will hit theaters on November 4, 2016. There's been a lot questions about what this film is going to be like, since the director, Scott Derrickson, is primarily a horror film director and the writers, Thomas Dean Donnelly, Joshua Oppenheimer, and Jon Spaihts are known for their films Conan the Barbarian and Prometheus, which are a bit darker in tone. In addition, the cast is made up of some pretty big names that have cult status among their fans. In an interview with ScreenCrush, Tilda Swinton, who is playing The Ancient One, talked about the difference between this film and the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films:

I’m a Marvel fan and I think this particular world that Doctor Strange goes into is really, really, really exciting. I’m really interested as both an actor and a fan to see what’s done in this particular world. It’s all about creativity. It’s not about everything exploding at the end. It’s about something very different.

Could fans be getting something that has a bit more of a horror feel to it, compared to the action and explosions? Where do you think the film is headed?
