"Where have you been?"
"I went to a place called Kamar-Taj and I talked to someone called the Ancient One and..."
"Oh, so you joined a cult?"
"No I didn't, no, well not exactly. They did teach me to tap into powers I never even knew existed."

Trivia

Behind the Scenes

  • Kevin Feige commented they used Christine Palmer over Strange's traditional love interest Clea because, "We wanted a grounded character. We wanted a character that was a connection to Strange's life in New York City, in the normal world. Somebody that could be his anchor to the real world, to his present in the beginning of the film, and by the time he re-encounters her, wearing that, someone who can comment on his transformation as a character."[2]
