Throughout Doctor Strange, audiences will encounter many magic wielders such as Stephen Strange himself (Benedict Cumberbatch), The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), Baron Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen), and more.
Even though these ideas will not be shown or discussed in Doctor Strange, Derrickson has the answers to all questions related to the history of magic.
If it is to come out, the Ancient One solo movie Tilda Swinton is campaigning for could be a place to answer some of these questions.
Scott Derrickson was recently interviewed by Cinema Blend about his directorial debut within the MCU and was asked about the history of magic that will be shown.
