Marvel Legends have released action figure tie-ins to the Doctor Strange film for preorder. The figures show Strange as portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch, and the version of Strange when projected on the Astral Plane, as well as in comic form. Other characters shown are Karl Mordo, Jericho Drumm, Enchantress Amora, Daniel Rand-K’ai, Nico Minoru and Lord Dormammu. Their inclusion on Doctor Strange tie-in products would imply their appearance in Doctor Strange. Minoru will feature in the upcoming Runaways television series, and Minoru’s mother, Tina Minoru, featured in the Doctor Strange tie-in comic, Marvel’s Doctor Strange Prelude.
Strange is due to be portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch in the Doctor Strange film premiering in the United Kingdom on 28th October. Doctor Stephen Strange first appeared in Strange Tales (1951) #110.
