However, Lee did write or co-write many of the earliest Doctor Strange comic book stories, so he’s better positioned than many to opine on the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe version from director Scott Derrickson.
Among the many things that set Doctor Strange apart from his fellow Marvel superheroes is that he’s among the few early Marvel creations whom Stan Lee is not credited as a co-creator of.
The Doctor Strange filmmakers and producers (to say nothing of the fans) will no doubt be glad to have received Lee’s endorsement.
While Lee collaborated with the first wave of fellow Marvel creators on almost every other major property launched in the early 1960s, Doctor Strange is agreed to have been the original concept of artist Steve Ditko.
