<p>The upcoming <em>Doctor Strange</em> promises to be <a href="http://ift.tt/1Xn6bgT">the Marvel Cinematic Universe&#8217;s most unusual movie</a> to date. A new behind-the-scenes featurette gives fans an idea of what to expect when it hits theaters in November&#8211;check it out below:</p>
<p><p><em>Doctor Strange</em> stars Benedict Cumberbatch as mystical sorcerer Stephen Strange, and also features Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton, Mads Mikkelsen, Benedict Wong, and Rachel McAdams. It is directed by <em>Sinister</em>&#8216;s Scott Derrickson.</p>
<p>The casting of Tilda Swinton as Strange&#8217;s mentor, the Ancient One, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/1pGUoLx">caused some controversy</a> earlier this year, due to the fact that the character is an Asian man in the original comic books. In a recent interview with the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ift.tt/2csUdT6">LA Daily News</a>, Derrickson explained that casting Swinton was in fact part of an attempt to increase the film&#8217;s diversity.</p>
<p>&quot;Tilda was a way of adding diversity in terms of not just an ethereal, enigmatic, otherworldly actress playing an ethereal, enigmatic, otherworldly character, but we&#8217;re bringing a middle-aged woman who&#8217;s not 28 years old in leather pants into the Marvel Universe in a major role,&quot; he said.</p>
<p>The director went on to state that Wong&#8217;s character&#8211;also called Wong&#8211;also gave him a chance to confound expectations. &quot;I was going to leave Wong out of the movie at first; he was an Asian sidekick manservant, what was I supposed to do with that?&quot; Derrickson said. &quot;[But] unlike the Ancient One, he could be completely subverted as a character and reworked into something that didn&#8217;t fall into any of the stereotypes of the comics.&quot;</p>
<p><em>Doctor Strange</em> hits theaters on November 4, 2016.</p>
