Marvel Studios is moving quickly with its plans for a Doctor Strange movie, with multiple sources this week reporting the studio plans to begin filming at Pinewood Studios in the U.K.
Both Screen Daily and THR have reported that Marvel is in final negotiations to shoot the movie at Pinewood’s Shepperton Studios, the same studio where scenes from Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Thor: The Dark World, X-Men: First Class and Captain America were shot. Oh, and Star Wars VII is currently shooting there.
Screen Daily said that the film will begin shooting in May 2015, with plans for the film to release on the July 8, 2016 date that Marvel reserved for an "untitled" film back in 2013 (see "More Marvel Movie Moves").
Scott Derrickson has already been named director (see "'Doctor Strange' Director Set"), with John Spaihts working on the latest script (see "'Prometheus' Scribe to Adapt 'Doctor Strange'"), and strong indications that Joaquin Phoenix will star (see "Joaquin Phoenix in Talks for 'Doctor Strange'").
