Behind the scenes[]
Doctor Strange/Doctor Who concept art by Lee Sullivan.
- In 1991, Andrew Cartmel proposed a crossover between Doctor Strange and Doctor Who to Doctor Who Magazine editor John Freeman, called The Two Doctors. The plot Cartmel submitted involved a rock band that made a deal with a demon to become successful. Lee Sullivan made a piece of promotional art for the crossover with Doctor Strange, the Seventh Doctor, and Ace. Despite being a Doctor Who fan and liking the idea of the crossover, Marvel Editor-in-Chief Tom DeFalco decide not to proceed with the crossover following the reduced interest in Doctor Who caused by the BBC's then-recent "hiatus".[1]
- Doctor Strange appears on a poster on Grant's wall. However, he is not identified by name.
- Benedict Cumberbatch played Doctor Strange in the 2016 film, Doctor Strange, which Bill Potts refers to on two occasions in the DWU as a film she likes.
