One of the things I love about
Marvel Studios is that they continue to bring new characters to life on the big screen that we've never seen in action before, rather than retelling the same old origin stories of classic superheroes. Last November it was the turn of
'Doctor Strange' to get the cinematic treatment and for audiences to learn more about the magical side of the
Marvel Universe, with
Benedict Cumberbatch playing the world class surgeon turned master of the mystic arts after an accident damages his hands.

These fantastic costumes from the
Marvel movie were photographed on display at
FIDM Museum's 25th Art of Motion Picture Costume Design exhibition in
Downtown L.A. on February 8, 2017.
Alexandra Byrne was
Costume Designer of the film directed by
Scott Derrickson, and you can also see her superheroic
costumes in Avengers: Age of Ultron and these
Guardians of the Galaxy moviecostumes to name but a few, plus also in
Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

Created by Steve Ditko and making his first appearance in Strange Tales #110 in 1963, this movie incarnation sees Benedict Cumberbatch brings 'Stephen Strange' to life, as he goes on a journey from an arrogant, injured expert surgeon, expanding his mind and his metaphysical abilities to become the world's Sorcerer Supreme based in New York City's Greenwich Village.

I think they did a great job of translating
Doctor Strange's fantastical garb to the big screen, including his sentient
Cloak of Levitation and the
Eye of Agamotto (revealed to be another
Infinity Stone).
Fans of
Benedict Cumberbatch can also enjoy these
costumes from Sherlock: The Abominable Bride, his
Khan costume from Star Trek Into Darkness and his
Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy film costume on display.
Ancient One costume worn by Tilda Swinton
in Doctor Strange
Aside from the whitewashing controversy of making the
'Ancient One' a caucasian woman of
Celtic descent and not
Tibetan heritage,
Tilda Swinton still made for a great mentor for
Doctor Strange and all the other sorcerers-in-training in
Kamar-Taj and formidable warrior against
Kaecilius and his followers.
Fans of the actress can also enjoy her
White Witch costume from Narnia's The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe from the 2005 big screen adaptation.
Mordo costume worn by Chiwetel Ejiofor
in Doctor Strange
In addition to trying to make
Doctor Strange's universe more diverse by making the
Ancient One a woman, they also cast black actor
Chiwetel Ejiofor as his fellow student of the mystic arts, on-screen ally and comic book sorcerous rival
'Baron Mordo', or simply
'Karl Mordo' in this film.
Kaecilius costume worn by Mads Mikkelsen
in Doctor Strange
In the movie
Mads Mikkelsen plays
'Kaecilius', a master of the mystic arts who has broken with the
Ancient One's teachings and with his cult of zealots wants to summon
'Dormammu' of the
Dark Dimension, where time doesn't exists and you can live forever.
Marvel Comics fans can also check out all these
Captain America: Civil War movie costumes, these
Thor: The Dark World movie costumes and also these
Agent Carter TV costumes on display.
