The actual, official full trailer is out

Oh hey guys, that leak become a major news story and 'forced' Sony's hand to release the trailer early even though there was a deal for Spider Man promo to not step on Ten Rings or Eternals. Gosh, what a surprising and deeply convenient things for Sony...

Anyway, my trailer reaction in the comments.

Wow, it's weird to suddenly have an unpcoming Ben C project after he was intensely everywhere for years. The gap between Doctor Strange 1 and 2 was already going to be the longest sequel gap of any MCU film before the pandemic hit.

The implication that Stephen actually casts the spell the causes problems is an obvious fake-out right? I mean, it's got to be but I am so cranky about MCU characterization that my initial reaction was 'oh for fuck's sake'. No matter how things swing, it looks like we are in for another 'problems are actually unforced errors by protag because he's still learning film'. Should we be past that?

Still, it's nice to see Stephen, Wong and the Sanctum Sanctorum. Stephen taking obvious chaos in him home in stride and just wearing a hoodie under the cloak was cute.

I keep thinking of each new movie/show from MCU as "another comic book run" which may or may not have anything to do with previous canon or later canon. So comic books have served me well in that regard, by teaching me never to trust (or like) anything too much!

MCU did well at continuity at first. The Sony films are produced differently, but I still hope they haven't made Stephen into the moron everyone suddenly thinks he is.

I'll admit, I was kinda...cranky looking at the trailer. Because at first glance it felt very Iron Man 3: protag has severe doubts about current state to self, attempts to make severe alteration in life, over corrects, faces reprecussions, and (doubtlessly, in the end) comes to a new balanced state of self. It didn't help that Ben C's Strange seemed to be doing a TOny-esque mentorship thing here, which...if Strange is the new Tony, that's-that's gonna be a lot.

But I'm interested to see what they do with it, so who knows? Maybe my vibes are wrong.

Hopefully the trailer is misreading, good ones tend to be. Iron Man 3's promo materials lead a lot of people to assume he'd be facing the real Mandarin and some fans are still salty he didn't. If the first trailer spells out the whole plot, that would be pretty bad.

I do like Stephen's cozy look and strolling through the Sanctum in chaos like it's business as normal.

hopefully.

Also, 1000% behind you on the cozy look. Let's keep him in the cozy look.

My main love for this trailer is reserved for Alfred Molina. I *love* his Doc Ock.
