Kevin Feige Talks Magic In Marvel’s DR. STRANGE
The Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t the most magical place on earth, despite its parent company. And while not necessarily grounded in gritty, Nolan-esque realism, it doesn’t stray far from the reality farm. So how is a magician superhero supposed to coexist with Iron Man and Captain America?
