Director Scott Derrickson has spent the past few years developing, shooting, and talking-upDoctor Strange.
I just feel relieved that it wasnt terrible, he laughs.
I just feel relieved that I was not the pilot of a very public disaster.Thatshow I feel.

Every day, I get up and Im like, Thank god I didnt f that up!'
Heres the thing theyre all really funny people, says Derrickson.
Chiwetels one of the funniest people Ive been around.
Benedict is one of the wittiest people youll ever met.
Tilda is effervescent joy personified.
Mads Mikkelsen is funny.
There was just a lot of healthy buoyancy to the spirit of that set.
I think I ruined a lot of takes by laughing at Benedict.
I think we had to loop some things to get my laughter out of the shot.
So, did this tale of a doctor who gains magical powers pass muster with his partner?
Itdidpass muster with her!
We had very good medical experts on set.
I think you have to do that.
Derrickson says he would love to direct aStrangesequel but literally cannot say when that would start shooting.
I have no idea where it fits in, he explains.
Ive sort of been off the grid.
I very much needed a break after that.
But Im starting to read TV pilots.
I love dramatic television, and Ive gotten quite a few good offers on really good pilots.
I may do a pilot beforeDoctor Strange 2, ifDoctor Strange 2is going to happen.
So, Marvel hasnt called the director to see how his 2018, or 2019, schedule is looking?
Right now, I dont think the people at Marvel are calling anybody for anything, he says.
Theyre making way too many movies at once right now [to do that].
