A completely forgotten Marvel movie could have kickstarted an MCU a full 30 years before ‘Iron Man’

Kevin Feige deserves all the credit in the world for reinventing the face of blockbuster cinema forever when he launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe back in 2008, regardless of the current concerns over the franchise’s diminishing returns. However, the company’s chief creative officer was but a child 30 years previously when Doctor Strange made his feature-length debut.

At the time, superheroes weren’t exactly the all-conquering pop culture behemoths they are nowadays, but the made-for-TV movie featuring Peter Hooten as the Sorcerer Supreme had the benefit of arriving on screens only three months before Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve changed the game with Superman: The Movie, so it was released at what could have been the ideal time.
