Oscar Castro's book Cary Cary Oscar Castro's book (The Book of Cagliostro) appear more than once in the film is a set time control and other high-end open-dimensional dark spell monumental masterpiece, no doubt from Handwritten by a man named Cagliostro. In the comics, Cagliostro is an Italian born in 1743. He is proficient in all kinds of black magic. By learning The Book of Sins (also called Darkhold in "S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents"), Cagliostro was immortal Ability, anyway, is a very good character.

Christine Palmer The heroine in the movie can be regarded as a combination of two Marvel characters. In the comics, there is indeed a character named Christine Palmer (Christine Palmer), one of the nurses team "Night Nurse" (Night Nurse), specializing in providing medical services for superheroes, but between her and Strange There is no connection. The night shift nurse and Doctor Strange did have an intersection in the comics, but the trainee nurse Linda Carter was involved in the plot. In the movie, the scene where Strange's soul out of the body instructs the heroine to perform surgery on herself is almost perfectly reproduced from the comics. The classic plot of "Doctor Strange: The Oath" (The Oath). There is also a night nurse in the comic, Claire Temple (Claire Temple), who has appeared consecutively in Netflix's many Marvel series ("Dare Demon", "Luke Cage" and "Tekken").

Nick West Doctor Nick West was ridiculed by Strange enough in the movie, and he also showed the bad habits of petty theft. But in fact, he has a lot of scenes in the comics. In the comic, Nicodemus West was also responsible for performing hand surgery for Strange, but Nicodemus, who was tortured by guilt after the operation failed, followed Strange to Kamar-Taj and studied the Department of Medicine under the guidance of Gu Yi. Spell, and then left early and returned to New York, and then blackened as expected, but it didn't seem to be useful...

Avengers Building Audiences who have not played with mobile phones should not miss this detail. In the screen overlooking the high-rise buildings in New York, the Avengers Building clearly stands in the middle of the city.

Interstellar Overdrive The music played on Strange's car before the accident was "Interstellar Overdrive" (1967) by the British rock band Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd is a loyal fan of the "Doctor Strange" comics. They quoted the inside pages of "Doctor Strange" Issue 158 as the cover of their second album "A Saucerful of Secrets" (1968).

Before the car accident, Brokeback Officer Strange received a call from the nurse who mentioned that a 35-year-old officer had injured his spine while testing the armor. Although this character's injury is consistent with James Roddy (War Machine) who was injured in "Captain America: Civil War". But the director has clarified that this person is definitely not Roddy, nor is it a major role in any MCU. Besides, Roddy in the movie must be more than 35 years old...

Master Hamill When Strange entered the Most Holy Place for the first time, he mistakenly thought that the old man in front of him was the Gu Yi Master, and the real Gu Yi was a servant who poured tea and water. What's interesting is that the old man's name is Hamir (Hamir), Gu Yi's most loyal servant, and even once succeeded Gu Yi as the guardian of Kamar-Taj. In the movie, Master Hamir broke his hand. It seems that the third stage will also inherit the broken hand from the previous quarter. In addition, Hamir has an unexpected identity in the comics: Wong's father (but not in the movie).

The WIFI password , the joke that was "spoiled" in the trailer, appeared in the film without any surprise. Strange was assigned to a bedroom in Kamar-Taj. Senior brother Mordo thoughtfully handed over a note with the WIFI password for the room: shamballa (how did I think of the little magic fairy Balala). A tribute to the Doctor Strange comic "Into Shamballa", the story tells that Strange faces a choice: it can help the world enter the golden age, but most of humanity must be sacrificed. In addition, Shambhala is the ideal holy land in Tibetan Buddhism, which echoes the religious and cultural origins in the comics.

Tina Minoru Among the disciples trained by Kamar-Taj, Tina Minoru (Tina Minoru) appears. Although she only appeared briefly in the movie, she is an important role in the comic "Runaways" (Runaways). Her daughter Nico Minoru is a member of the "League from Home". Like the other children in the team, her parents are members of the evil organization "The Pride".

When the pop culture Strange and Wong first met, the former asked whether Pharaoh was like the British pop singer Adele, whose name was only one word, and then successively mentioned the philosopher Aristotle and U2 lead singer Bono. Bono), Canadian singer Drake and rapper Eminem. Later, he directly called Wong Beyonce (Beyonce), and Lao Wang also began to hear Beyonce's songs...

Mordo , the scepter of the Life Tribunal , mentioned various artifacts that sealed spells when training Strange, including the "Staff of the Living Tribunal" (Staff of the Living Tribunal). The glowing iron rod of the ward. This weapon has not actually appeared in the comics, but there does exist a character called the "court of life" who is responsible for supervising the balance of all dimensions in the Marvel multiverse. It represents the multiverse itself in a certain sense and is an abstract meaning. The existence of the above, but will also appear in a substantive image, and Doctor Strange is the first human character to come into contact with it. Its appearance is close to human beings, with three faces, and its dressing style is very similar to that of Dr. Manhattan in DC.

Fodor ’s Boots Another artifact mentioned by Mordo is the Hot Wheels (by mistake), which is the Vaulting Boots of Valtorr (Vaulting Boots of Valtorr) he wore on his feet, and later used it to show the ability of teleportation in fights ( And Strange also played an important role when the city was flying all over the sky, thanks to Douyou Hongda for correcting). Comic fans will certainly not be unfamiliar with the name Valtorr. It is a mysterious existence at the god level, capable of summoning various gaseous substances for the mage.

Daniel Drumm When the villains attacked the Sanctuary in New York, the guardian Daniel Drumm received a bento if he didn't agree with him. In the comics, Daniel was also killed by the villain. His soul merged into the body of his twin brother Jericho, and became the heroic Voodoo brother (Brother Voodoo) who was also friend and foe of Doctor Strange, and later inherited the master of Dr. Strange’s supreme mage. The name was changed to Doctor Voodoo (Doctor Voodoo).

Axe When Strange ran towards the axe on the wall, the Faithful Dog's cloak immediately grabbed him and walked in the opposite direction, because the other end was the most effective magic weapon to stop Kaecilius. In the comics, whenever Strange loses mana, he always takes his axe to fight melee. It can be said that the axe has become the iconic physical weapon of Doctor Strange.

Stan Lee, who is addicted to a guest star in the Marvel movie, appeared on the bus in New York City this time, looking at the reading in hand with great interest, Aldous Huxley's "Doors of Perception", that's the author In a paper written in 1954, he recorded the hallucinations he had after taking drugs and echoed the distorted space outside the window. This book is a reference source for Steve Ditko when he first created the "Doctor Strange" comic. This scene is similar to the old man's cameo in "The Amazing Spider-Man".

Before the war in Hong Kong, Wong inevitably gave a mobilization speech to the mages guarding the sanctuary, and then took up a weapon-the Wand of Watoomb (Wand of Watoomb). This artifact has appeared many times in the comics and has a variety of magical uses. It is mainly used to resist magical attacks and can also release huge energy. In the "Spider-Man" animation series, Mordo stole this artifact and used it to open the portal to release Dormammu, which also contributed to the first encounter between Spider-Man and Doctor Strange.

The dual identities of Juan Fu In the final battle, Strange faced the dark devil Dormammu alone. In theory, it was him who played against the actor Benedict Cumberbatch at this time, because he played Dormammu through facial motion capture! This is what Benedict himself asked the director. The director said anyway, if your face is long, you can act it if you love it (by mistake

Infinite Gems In the film, Wong reveals that the Eye of Agamotto is an infinite gem. According to its properties, it is not difficult to guess its scientific name—the time gem. So far, five infinite gems have appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but what we are more concerned about is, what will gem control Thanos meet with Doctor Strange?

Thor cameo The first easter egg after the film ended, Thor appeared in surprise. In a conversation with Strange, it was mentioned that he and his brother Loki were both looking for father Odin in New York. After watching the ending of "Thor 2", everyone knows that Loki pretended to be Odin and ascended to the throne, but the real Odin was missing. Why did Thor come to New York? Does it mean that Strange will appear in Thor's sequel? This can only be left to the announcement of Thor 3: Ragnarok.

Modo blackened The second egg, Modo came to a man's residence. This man was the basketball boy Pangborn, whom Strange had asked for help before. It turned out that he had cured his paralyzed body using magic techniques. So the stubborn Modo believed that this was selfish behavior, the laws of nature were inevitable, and the mage circle should be rectified by me, so he put Pangborn back to its original form. In the comics, Modo has always been a rival of Doctor Strange, so his blackening in the movie is already a certainty. I look forward to this role in "Doctor Strange 2" to have a more eye-catching performance.

The above easter eggs are from foreign language and my own movie collection. If you need to reprint, please contact Douyou~ In addition, share a few small findings: Some scenes in the movie have a strong sense of horror/thriller. After checking it, the director Scott Derrickson really did. Born in a horror movie.

The main melody sounds like the soundtrack of "Star Trek", and watching the ending subtitles, it turns out to be the work of Michael Giacchino .

Gu Yi's yellow clothes look like a punched superman (what the hell).
