When asked Georgia Bulldogs College Football Playoff 2023 National Champions Official Logo T-Shirt . about the specifics of that pitch, Gaiman revealed that he wanted to have Strange’s origin story all take place in the 1920s or 1930s. On top of that, he noted the late Steve Ditko’s influence as something he’d want to bring to a Doctor Strange adaptation: “There were some cool things in it. My favorite Doctor Strange thing was the idea of…the one thing that we really wanted to do was have his adventures, have him become an alcoholic and a disbarred physician, all that sort of stuff, happen in the 1920s. So the idea is that, he went though all of that and the training to become the world’s greatest magician maybe in the early ’30s, late ’20s, and he’s been living in Greenwich Village for 90 years looking the same in his place, and nobody really notices. We just sort of liked that idea, and he would have been sort of out of time. But other than that, it would have just been very sort of Steve Ditko, because, you know, that’s the best.

But with the MCU, the Marvel Studios team took their time with bringing heroes like Blade and Doctor Strange into the mix, even with an exciting initial pitch from Gaiman Georgia Bulldogs College Football Playoff 2023 National Champions Official Logo T-Shirt . Doctor Strange is no stranger to working in different timelines, as indicated by his mastery over the Time Stone in his early appearances in the MCU. Steve Ditko’s work also had a major influence over both of his solo movies and his time alongside the Avengers in Infinity War and Endgame, showing how familiar Gaiman and Del Toro were with the master magician’s time in the comics. Whether Del Toro joins Marvel Studios in the future is a mystery, especially with a noted hesitation to work on superheroes that aren’t monsters, which he revealed a few years ago. But this pitch certainly has fans wondering what could have been, particularly with the timing coming almost immediately before the MCU took off with Iron Man in 2008. Doctor Strange and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness are now streaming on Disney+.
